I have a very hard time, as someone with chronic illness, believing that the subconscious is what creates all of the issues in my life. I am 110% sure on the day my mother died, my brain was saying "It's so awesome that she is up and talking. I can't wait for her to get out of the ICU." If this book is to believed, it appears that my "can't wait for her to get out of the ICU" is what killed her.

I have a similar issue with people who say that every shitty thing in life happens because they didn't pray hard enough. Some days, shit happens.

Maybe you'll find something better in this book.

An ok starter book for someone who is looking for something that is simple and just skims the surface. A basic self help book. If you are looking for a book that is more indepth, this is not the book for you

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Great self-help book. There are lots of positive affirmations. A very beneficial read. This is a very uplifting book that I think anyone could benefit from reading.

I like how the author gets right to the point. Andrew Matthews took my understanding of the Law of Attraction to new heights of "getting it". He explains how feelings directly bring you everything you want (or fear). Everyone should read this book!

I love reading self-help book, and while there were few new messages in this volume, I very much enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read it.

This book was okay, until I got to the part about the message from water. That is just ridiculous and really made me doubt the sanity of the whole book. I think it seriously detracts from Andrew's message. Please think about revising or minimizing this fake science stuff.

It has been a while ever since I read this type of book. I enjoyed and recommend it to anyone e.g. when you are tired of walking around the airport waiting for the next flight, when commuting a long distance, when in solitude you need some leverage with your innerself or there is nothing new in the news. As the author said hiself nothing new; and nothing sensational I add. But I love it immensely and particularly the 'heart part'. I also loved the illustrations.

This book looked like a great self-help book from the outset - one which wasn't 'airy fairy', and which I hoped would give some good, solid, practical tips. I'll admit it contains some great truths and some straight-talking, such as the idea that positivity breeds positivty and negativity breeds negatvity, as this is something I greatly believe myself. But Matthews talks a lot about how what is in your sub-conscious will come to frution. Now the mind is a powerful thing and by changing the way we think we can acyally make a big difference, but if everything in our sub-cinscious came true we'd all be walking around with wallets full of £50 notes and not needing to work a single day of our lives. Matthews simplified things too much and it really irked me. What really put me off this book was reading about how a Japanese researcher conducted an experiment whereby he freezes water; if he talks positively to the water before they form ice crystals, the ice crystals supposedly respond, and form beautiful crystals like jewels, as opposed to the water he spoke negatively to which became 'ugly blobs'. Apparently he has also demonstrated that you don't even have to talk to the water, as you can think a word and send that thought to the water, and subsequently the ice crystals will reflect your thoughts. (I would be happy to be shown the evidence-base for this and be proven wrong...)

The rest of the book continued in much the same vein; some practical no-nonsense advice but interspersed with some quite fantastical stuff, which just meant that this book was not for me.
