I struggled a bit to get into this. When I accepted to review this, I didn't know it was a compellation of a bunch of older books.
Great Read
Feeling Is the Secret by Neville Goddard is a very fascinating and interesting book. The author discusses the various levels of what it takes to manifest or create things in our lives; the first of which being consciousness. He discusses various aspects that one must engage in order to create our desired lifestyle, such as sleep, feeling, believing, and overall having the imagination and faith in receiving.
This is a very well written and easy to understand book.

One of the strengths of this book is its timelessness.

3 1/2 rounded up- I agree and believe in the premise of this book. We are more powerful than we think we are. We are the creators of our lives, ‘if you think you can or can’t, you are right’. “Feeling” it and fueling it with emotion is the gas to ignite it. This book is full of biblical scriptures for those that are more comfortable with that approach. I appreciated this ARC and my opinions are my own.

Brilliant!!
I love love love Neville Goddard and his message makes so much sense now than it did a few years ago.
There is so much wisdom in this book.
The principals are so simple yet this is such a great reminder "feel as if it has already happened".
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read this amazing book!!
