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.

"Feeling Is the Secret" by Neville Goddard is a profound and transformative guidebook that delves into the power of thoughts and emotions to revolutionize one's life. As one of the most influential writers in the realm of New Age spirituality, Goddard's teachings have left an indelible mark on many, inspiring notable figures such as Rhonda Byrne, Carlos Castaneda, and Wayne Dyer.

The core principle of Goddard's work is elegantly simple yet profoundly powerful: your imagination is God. This message of self-empowerment and limitless potential resonates deeply, offering readers the keys to unlocking their full capabilities through the power of feeling. Goddard's belief in the ability to shape one's reality through understanding and harnessing thoughts and feelings is both inspiring and practical, providing a clear path to personal transformation.

"Feeling Is the Secret" introduces readers to Goddard's revolutionary methods, including sleep training and prayer. These techniques are presented in a straightforward, easy-to-follow manner, making the book accessible even to those new to New Thought principles. Goddard's writing is both concise and compelling, guiding readers to a deeper understanding of how their mindset can either limit their potential or open up a world of possibilities.

One of the strengths of this book is its timelessness. Written in 1944, the principles outlined in "Feeling Is the Secret" remain relevant and powerful, now repackaged and updated for a modern audience. The new introduction by the publisher and the inclusion of the bonus book "Awakened Imagination" provide additional context and depth, enhancing the reader's experience and understanding of Goddard's teachings.

While the book's brevity is part of its appeal, offering a concise and focused message, some readers might find themselves wanting more detailed examples and practical applications. Additionally, those unfamiliar with New Age concepts may need to approach the material with an open mind to fully grasp and appreciate its insights.

Overall, "Feeling Is the Secret" is a remarkable and life-changing work that offers profound insights into the power of imagination and feeling. Neville Goddard's teachings continue to inspire and empower readers, guiding them towards a deeper understanding of their own potential and the limitless possibilities that await.

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!!
