Creating Books

I think all women should read this book and share it with others (family and children). Not only does Mr. Bach discuss how saving a little here and there can help with retirement, but he also gives women inspiration to live out (and especially to finance) their dreams. A wonderful book.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to become wealthy and this book details how easy it can be. If you're looking for glitz and glamour and "get rich quick" this isn't it. There's no such thing as an overnight success. Read David's book and get going on the road to wealth.

Love all his books - bought this, gave it someone and had to buy it again. It all depends what level you are on. Not too much non-common sense, but good for women to read.

I bought this book because I heard so many positive things about it. I am in my 50's, five years ago I went from having the wonderful life that all women dream of. I had the beautiful home in the suburbs, 2 beautiful children, friends, you name it I had it. Then I lost it all in the blink of an eye. I had relied on my husband to handle all the finances I couldn't tell you the balance in the check book. All I knew was he made the money and I spent it. Thank the Lord I was a RN, but I hadn't worked in quite a few years. I am not going to go into detail what happened but when I said I had nothing but the clothes on my back I mean just that. I have been working two jobs for the past five years making good money but I have NOTHING to show for it. By reading Suze book I was able to identify myself, it is so easy to understand that someone like myself with NO understanding of finance can take her suggestions and work them into my present life. It is going to take discipline on my part and learning to say NO to my children is going to be the hardest. But, I need to take care of myself. This book was just what I needed to read. I highlighted areas, I keep going back and re-reading certain sections. I keep it next to my bed. Buying this book was one of the best things I have done for myself.

Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well.

I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out system of gaining and keeping control of your financial self-sufficiency. Bach has filled this book with definitions, resources, quizzes, systems, exercises and tables. I was impressed and give it a must read if you're serious about becoming more financially organized.

David Bach addresses both the heart and the head in Smart Women Finish Rich. He used the lessons he learned from his grandmother, and his mother, as inspiration. After growing up with two such powerful role models, he was surprised by the number of financially uniformed women. Many of the women who came to him for financial advice, had no clue about building financial security.

Smart Women Finish Rich is easy to understand. I read it and "got it." This is a "how to" book that involves a commitment on your part to read, work and put the assignments and lessons into daily practice. Bach has carefully given us valuable financial keys, now it's up to us to follow through.

What you'll get out of this book is going to depend on what you're willing to put into it. It's a book that has the potential to give you a great foundation for financial self-sufficiency.

Here are some of the areas I found particularly useful:

1.The first exercise, "Financial Knowledge Quiz" is a great practical place to start. I found it to be thoughtful and quite an eye-opener. I learned about how well (and sometimes not so well) I understood the role money played in my life.

2. David Bach is adamant about pinpointing the reason money is important to you. To find this out, you'll need to examine your money values and ask yourself if your financial behavior matches those values. He provides a simple but thoughtful exercise called the "Values Ladder."

3. Smart Women Finish Rich is a great blend of exercises, systems, quizzes and practical "real world" information. For example, the "Finish Rich File Folder System" is a simple, easy-to-follow and yet an organizational time saver.

I definitely give Smart Women Finish Rich five stars! If you're ready and serious about getting your financial house and monetary priorities in order, this is the book for you!

I rate it 2 because it is not my cup of tea. I do find the idea of positive thinking can be applied to what I am doing although really that is the only idea in the book. There are many examples of miraculous things that happenned, but I dont know whether it is described as it happens or whether it is described as the author wants the reader to see to prove his point. Things just happen too easily without describing there are hard work involve to achieve what you want to achieve. I wonder if I can have the most positive thought about being famous yet stay at home and do nothing about it and still can fulfilled my dream?

This book does more for you because it requires some input on your part. Involving your personal information which enables you to acknowledge some blocks and helps you make the changes you need in order for your dreams and desires to be manifested. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels like they are in a rut and need to get out or anyone who needs some help in reaching for the stars with a definite purpose.

I love this book. Joe Vitale is a wonderful author and has a way of speaking in his writing that is direct and gives you some ideas of different approaches to this topic. I recommend this book highly.

The only reason I give this book one star is because everything in it is also in Vitale's other book The Attractor Factor. Attractor is an expanded and much better version that I rated 5 stars and which I highly recommend.

This is a very slim volume. If you are looking for a complex program to change your life, with many exercises and ideas, this is not for you.

Strangely, however, the short text did have a powerful effect on how I viewed my world after I read it. Joe's list of things to do is pretty short (list what you don't want, list what you do want, and then a few more steps, equally as simple.) What did happen is that I decided to restructure my thinking, considering every thought as to whether it was positive or negative. I also decided to fill up an envelope on my desk with "thank-you notes" to God, thanking him for all the positive things happening every day. (Not particularly something in this book, but based on Joe's ideas.) Each day, I jotted down an thank-you whenever something good happened. Then I popped it into an envelope I'm keeping on my desk. A week later, the envelope was full to bursting. Some seemingly negative things happened but I decided to treat them like opportunities, keeping a cheerful frame of mind while dealing with the issues. If nothing else, I felt good during the process.

Maybe this is all about how you view the glass; a half-glass full of refreshing water, or a half-empty glass heading to a full-fledged drought. For whatever reason, despite the fact this is a very short book, it can get you to thinking. Maybe that's it's power.

I am completely crazy about this book and I don't normally read poetry books or books about writing poetry. But as a HS librarian I was trying to find something to help my English teachers who struggle every year to come up with lesson ideas for their poetry units. I struck gold with this book. I actually took six of Wooldridge's ideas and created lesson plans from them which I share with the teachers. For example, I cut up an old wildflower book, laminated the pictures, so that teachers could do an activity about naming plants and then writing poetry about the names. Though I dabble a little in writing my own poetry, I find that I always enjoy following little formulas to help unlock my creative juices. This book has several cute and fun formulas to assist the beginning poets. I highly recommend this book!

This book is not a how to write a poem book. It is how to live your life so that maybe you can write a poem in 6 to 8 years.

Get it! I dare you! This book is awesome! I learn something new every time I pick it up. I love the freedom it promotes in creativity. Buy it!

Over the last few years I've begun to explore my own talent for poetry, and among the books I've read to help me is this one.

I've yet to try the exercises, but just reading the book gives me some food for thought.

Lots of ideas and techniques to try as the spirit moves you.

I confess that I've never been a poetry fan in the past. But thanks to this book, I may very well become one now! I only bought it because Teesha Moore (mixed-media artist, editor of the Art and Life 'zine, and creator of ArtFest) had raved about the author. So I gave this book a try. I'm so glad I did as it has really opened my eyes to what poetry is all about!

This book is pretty good for beginners. I have recently started teaching myself html and I was able to handle most of the things I was reading about without too much trouble. There were a couple of times I really needed to pause and go back and read it again. Then maybe I could put it together. Only one or two times did I just give up with total frustration. All in all it's a great handbook and I am sure I will get it all someday!

The text was easy to read and gave a great number of examples but lacked any questions or problems at the end of each chapter.

A very good book if you would like to understand how HTML works

I've been doing HTML work on and off for the last 5-6 years. This book is full of great examples for beginners or more advanced users who just forgot how to do something. You won't regret owning this book.

Although the author gives some superfials explanations on JavaScript, CGI & DHTML, this book offers and comprehensive and fairly complete explanation on HTML.
Higly recommended for those willing to learn and master HTML.

I graduated from the University of Redlands (California) with a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems degree a few years ago. Many of the textbooks I used were not very enlightening - I suffered through using them and immediately took them back to the bookstore for resale. This wasn't so with the CREATING COOL HTML 4 book. I use this as a reference book now.

One of the classes I took included a web design portion. How fun to create web pages that were exciting and not boring. It was easily accomplished using this book as a guide but someone who knows nothing about HTML design could easily use this and create.

The chapters are broken down from the basics to intermediate items. The author, Dave Taylor, explains exactly what entails a web page, what a URL is, basic html, graphics, tables, links, pointers, image maps, and other advanced designs.

Now many technical books are dry to read and often times leave the non-die-hard techies wondering what was just said. Not true with Taylor. He gets everyone to understand html - those creating their first web page to those who want to do more, those that want pizzazz on their pages.
If you're not a beginner, you may want to skip the chapters in which Taylor explains to new users about Web pages, how browsers work, what URLs are, and other basic concepts. (But it can be a good refresher for those who haven't designed web pages in a while). Next he expands into basic HTML, fonts, text styles, and gets the reader to understand the making of lists, special characters, pointers, and links. Next comes the explanation of graphics and the creation of tables and frames. But my favorite part is next - chapters on advanced items like background, marquees, image maps, JavaScript, forms, plug-ins, Dynamic HTML, style sheets, and much more.
Examples shown in the book are easy to follow and let the reader completely understand what the code does and how it will look on a web page. Nothing in CREATING COOL HTML PAGES is overwhelming and will let everyone create a web page of which they can be proud. I'm a computer programmer, and still use this as a reference. In fact, it's one of the most borrowed books in our office! This book is highly recommended for any level of html programmer.

This book was produced by alleged channelling. Personally, I don't take much stock in this sort of belief system other than it being one meditating and getting answers from within...the source of the where is dubious at best. That being said, there is interesting information given within the pages.

If you think positively and do what you like, the money will follow. I think positively and do what I like. I earn less than $10,000 a year. Am I happy? I love what I do. I wish I earned more, but wouldn't trade what I do to make more money in doing something I hate.

My husband hates his job. He works hard and worries a lot. He makes $40,000 a year.

All my friends, and by all I mean 100% of them, who are into the thought-produced method to wealth is guided by postive thinking make less than $25,000 a year. My wealthy friends, those who make over $100,000 a year are professional lawyers and doctors who work very hard and love what they do in fields that are known to be well-paying.

By discounting the importance of money and focusing on service, the theory is the money will follow. Some people do this and run successful businesses. Some who do this will make less than normal for the job. Most people who do this will earn the typical of what they do anyway for doing their job. Whether you read this book or not, you will fall into one of the laws of averages.

I know someone who works at a shelter soup kitchen who loves what he does, but doesn't get money for this job. He lives a hand to mouth existence.

Another person I know is a single father who does the type of work he enjoys just so he can be with his children. They scrap by on welfare most of the time.

However, if you want to feel happier about giving your best at what you do and making your life in general easier by not worrying about the money (or lack thereof), then by all means read through this pep rally book. It is a good philosophy to live by and I would recommend this one over The Secret.

Give all your best to others and the odds that you will have something positive come back your way are great. It might not be money. It could just be good feelings. If you can be happy with that, more power to you. On chance, maybe you will hook up with a connection that can guide you to the wealth you want...but statistically, how many really get that lucky?

If you are thinking of getting this because you believe by manipulating your thoughts will draw riches to you without you doing anything else, then you will be disappointed. You must give something to receive something.

Meditation in general is a good way to focus on all of your options with a clear mind to help you decide a better path in getting things done. If your mind is clouded with worry, you tend to choose the less productive options and run into limited ways in dealing with problems. If anything this book is good at helping, it is to find a simple way to meditate.

Sorry to burst your bubble if you were expecting me to tell you this book is the key to your wealth. I won't. It is a good book filled with positive thoughts, I won't knock that, but it won't get you rich unless you do something that merits wealth.

I love Sanaya Roman and Orin. This book is my number 1 recommendation for people wanting to understand the Law of Attraction and how to attract abundance in their life. I first read this book 20+ years ago and still think it's the best. I use the techniques and tools for creating my own abundance. I know they work.

I was recently organizing myself when I came across this book. Creating Money was one of the first books I read when I was blessed with the ability to communicate with Spirit. This particular book gives thoughtful concepts and meditations that truly help you to magnitize the positive things most of us want in our lives. For me, it is the perfect companion to Sanaya's other books. Creating Money is very straightforward in relaying the simplicity of visualizations when used for your higher purpose. I am in the midst of reading it again, as nothing in life happens by accident. Jim Fargiano, author of The Spoken Words of Spirit: Lessons From The Other Side

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read many books on manifesting, magnetising, prosperity, spirituality - and this book incorporates all four in a very cohesive way that makes sense.

Whereas some books lean towards more on the "spiritual side of abundance" rather than the "money aspect" this book doesn't lose its main subject "money" which I found very satisfying. Also, some authors focus mainly on "deblocking" and "resolving money-related-issues and feelings" which I personally believe only gets you to the "zero state" (you've just gotten rid of a problem, but you haven't become "much richer"). This book has exercises that helps you to magnetize clients, a number of customers, and a sum of money which I found very helpful.

Bottomline is that the book delivers what the title suggests.

I have several books by Sanaya Roman, and the other books are focused more on spiritual aspects, but this one really does a neat job of talking about money, about creating money.

In terms of "immediate results" this book comes second to another book I have written by Babaji (sp?) but I still find myself reaching for this book over and over again, especially when I am in my "entrepreneur mode" of thinking.

Hope some of this helps. Namaste.

I've been looking for a book like this one for over 5 years, and I finally found it. I've believed for a long time that the same ability that allows us to heal ourselves of physical ailments without use of medicine or other physical treatments must also make it possible to "heal" our financial lives. I've found many self-help books that are aimed at helping us improve our financial lives, but they're all based in and limited to conventional financial techniques. I've read dozens of books on "how to improve your life using spiritual techniques" ... and while many of them get into considerable depth on exactly how to use such techniques to heal relationships, physical problems, etc., none of them has ever devoted more than a brief chapter or two on what's really required to use spiritual power to heal our financial lives. I was beginning to think that such a book had never been written.

Then, a couple of weeks ago, I got past some of my own emotional baggage about money. Those of us who consider ourselves "spiritual" often have issues with having, saving, investing and just enjoying money. Many of us were taught that the love of money is the root of all evil. Well, once I saw and really let go of my own issues about wealth and allowed myself to see that it's just another form of benefit we're meant to enjoy in this life ... the next DAY ... this book crossed my path. And it's EXACTLY the book I knew somehow in my heart HAD to exist.

In short, this book is about how to use the same spiritual power many of us have used to reshape other parts of our lives (health, relationships, vocations, lifestyle) to completely transform our financial lives and our general experience of abundance and prosperity. Far from being a brief or vague treatment of the topic, the authors take us step by step through the mental and emotional work we need to do to tap into our spiritual ability to draw to us the wonderful financial experiences we want in our lives. As my partner and I read this book together, we kept stopping to say to each other "this is just EXACTLY what we've been looking for."

The power of Love ... our spiritual power to create all and only that which benefits us and those around us ... can be used to create the wealth and prosperity we long for. As we read the chapters of this book that walked us through the "how to" of creating wealth, it mirrored our own instincts about the subject so perfectly, it was as if the book had been written for us. Written in 1988, on one level, I can't imagine how I never saw this book before. But I know that my own issues about actually EXPERIENCING ... HAVING ... ENJOYING money fully ... kept me from finding it. As soon as I was ready, POOF ... the book appeared in my life.

What does this book teach, in general terms? #1 - That as a spiritual being, you have the ability to create unlimited benefit in your life ... and that includes financial benefit. #2 - that the way to create that benefit is not through hard work, worry, greed or worldly risk. #3 - That the path to creating completely beneficial wealth ... wealth not only in terms of money but also in terms of free time, spending your time doing what you enjoy most and what benefits those around you most ... in ALL forms ... lies in taking personal responsiblity for the thoughts and feelings you have within yourself about prosperity ... and activing taking steps to change those thoughts and feelings so that you use your spiritual creative power to bring into your life the wealth you want. #4 - That it's not only POSSIBLE to experience the abundance you want while doing with your life what you really want to do most ... doing what you love most is essential to opening yourself to the abundance you have the power to draw into your life.

Easy to read, logically put together, the authors do a wonderful job of showing us exactly what we need to do to learn to use our spiritual power ... the miraculous creative power of love ... to experience total financial healing. They present a book in some ways similar to Louise Hay's books on healing your body and life through the use of the mind and heart. But where "Heal Your Body" focuses on using love and the power of our thoughts and feelings to take responsibility for transforming our physical health, this book does something similar in the real of finances, and it does a wonderful job.

I just purchased and read this book in the past few days ... I'll keep you posted on the real world results as they develop. But if my experience using this book is anything like my experience using the writings of Louise Hay, our financial challenges should soon be as much a thing of the past as are my old ulcer, knee problems, hyper-acidity, chronic head and neck aches, tendonitis and coutless other problems that used to plague me that are now completely gone.

First off - yes, there are LOTS of books available showing all sorts of different projects using polymer clay and no, you won't become an expert overnight with this one or any other one. HOWEVER, Blackburn has provided a book with updated information and the guidelines to get you on your way to make the beads of your dreams - referring to the first section entitled "Materials and Techniques:" espcially, blending-Skinner Tech., Combing, Caning, Molding, Shapes, Drilling, Polishing (very important), Varnishing, Foils, Extrusions, Textures, Transfers Stamping, Mokume Gane, Mica Shift and more. Just remember, she and others making beautiful polymer products do this all the time and so practice, practice, practice. That being said, I have to say that I truly enjoy this book as so many others have mentioned - that being the focus on bead making. My own efforts over many months of work were so so at best. Once I followed her steps, which are given with photos & written info for each step, I am much more pleased with my own beads.

My main interest in this book has been section two "Faux Techniques" - wood, marble, ivory/bone, leather, amber, coral bronze, abalone, jade, mother-of-pearl (amazing), silver, malachite, turquoise, lapis, onyx, agate. For the most part, I have been extremely pleased at the outcomes of my efforts, but some of Blackburn's representations of imitating certain things could be better. Lapis - get the book "Polymer-The Chameleon Clay" by V. Hughes in order to get a more realistic lapis stone appeal, same as for jade - but this 2nd book is horrible when it comes to Turquoise (also described in Blackburn's book but still not as realistic as I would like...a difficult stone to mimic). So I use the Hughes book for some faux items. Blackburn does have some outstanding examples (IMHO) of Wood (not the ultimate best, but close); Veined Marble - compared to the real thing, I was amazed; Coral bead work was admirable and worth practicing to get it just right; Abalone - love it - very realistic; Jade was comparable to Hughes work; Mother-of-Pearl - truly striking, especially when making the colored pearls; Malachite - close but before YOU make it examine natural malachite in order to develop a more realistic color pattern but still closely following Blackburn in the color production end; Onyx - MY FAVORITE - actually it is more like a natural agate stone as typically when you think of onyx, it is black. Blackburn's Onyx is highly layered using products that I wish I would have thought of...but now I know...in order to get a REALLY natural looking agate stone bead. Blackburn's section on "Agate" in the "Faux Techniques" applies more to a cut stone of agate and she has produced some interesting pendant type pieces. But again, get an Agate book and try to mimic some of the patterns of real agates following Blackburn's technique. You won't be sorry.

Sections to use other books or to keep trying to find better ways to mimic these items are: silver, turquoise, lapis, bronze (this could go either way for some of Blackburn's pieces are admirable - same with her amber pieces), ugh on the leather look, and noooo on the ivory and bone beads. Books with more realistic bone are "The Polymer Clay Techniques Book" by S. Heaser - and pay attention to the antiquing section for bone or "Faux Surfaces in Polymer Clay" by I.S. Dean where the best looking bone look is shown. However, both these books lack the more detailed descriptions and images that Blackburn provides in her book. Yet, Blackburn's work/descriptions are a great way to start from in getting the look you may want using products she recommends.

In the 3rd section of the book called "Bringing It All Together" - she does a great job of pulling the necessary items needed to really make the beads - from various jewelry findings, cording, attaching, designing...thus flowing smoothly into the final section "The Gallery." Many of the great polymer bead artists' work is shown here and definitely grab your attention. Yet this section is small as Blackburn focuses upon the other areas mentioned above and thus earning more stars from me as that is the reason I wanted the book...not for the gallery but for the great guidelines and examples to help ME develop my own pieces.

With all this being said...or rather written...by me, I guess I have to say there is not just one book for all things in polymer clay. However, I feel the layout, descriptions, images and all around clarity by Blackburn makes her book stand out in my library. I am glad to have the NUMEROUS other books, magazines, etc. on polymer clay plus seeing some of the extraordinary work by many artists focused on this medium - all of which increases my drive to improve my own work with polymer clay...and hopefully your own work as well. This medium is amazing and so available - use Blackburn's book as a great stepping stone and you definitely will not be disappointed.

Adorei, muito didático, conteúdo bem explicado, com ótimas sugestões e idéias, bom gosto. Altamente recomendado.

If I could give one polymer clay book 10 stars this book would be IT.

The best book I have ever read about polymer clay.

Super projects and tips and everything is so well written and pictured.

This is a very insightful book on the real how-to's of polymer clay. She has given me endless hours of inspiration and I have still more to do! Give us more of her stuff!!

I have 3 books that I've purchased on polymer clay bead-making and this is the best one. Lots of easy-to-follow techniques and ideas for the serious bead-maker. I go back to this book time and time again for inspiration. Before you venture into using polymer clay for your jewellery, you must get this book first!

This remains to this day possibly the BEST book I have read at all concerning my religion. For those of us out there who want to move past all the books for beginers with endless explinations about what a besom is and what color candles to use, and actually want to think about their religion in an open way, this is a wonderful book. Never preachy, often funny, thought provoking, and at times heartwarming, Sylvans writing makes us question ourselves and gives us ideas for actually living the path we chose, every day, at all times. For those of us who are simply wiccan and dont practice magic, the emphasis on maintaining your relationship with God over spells and tools is much appreciated. Do not pass this book by. Sylvan, if you're seeing this (doubtful but we can hope lol) WRITE MORE BOOKS! :)

Packed with tons of history and lore this book will give you a wider view of the pagan religious aspects. A must have for anyone who wants to get more detail on the religious side of Wicca or witchcraft. This book explains the spiritual background and lets you discover within yourself your own religion and personal prayers and rituals.

Finally, not a wicca 101 book but a beautifully written book on your personal spirituality of wicca.It fills in the gaps where other books did not!

I love this book. I literally have worn it to death. I'm sick of all the Wiccan books anymore. All they do is focus on spells, magick, candles, the tools, and on and on when their really is more to Wicca. This a nice change of pace. It talks about how to live Wiccan everyday. How to live comapssionately and with grace. It's a very informative book. And she is lighthearted about everything. She doen't try to cram it down your throat and she is knowledgeable about what she's writing. I would recommend this book especially if your sick of the mainstream Wiccan books and would like something with more heart and soul.

This book is truly a blessing from the Goddess. I was wondering why I still wasn't feeling "complete" with my practice - like something was missing. For a while, this little voice in my head was telling me to get the book, and I kept saying,"No, not yet, not yet."
Finally, I listened and am so glad that I did.

I read this book within a matter of hours, and now it has a prominent spot in my Witchie bookshelf. It helped me realize a few things that I didn't pay attention to before, and I think, helped me to reconnect to what drew me to Wicca in the first place.

Please - if you were feeling like I did, get this book. Also, make sure to pick up her other book, THE BODY SACRED. I'm looking forward to more of Ms Sylvan's titles in the future.

Excellent book. Have read two other sales books and this is my favorite. Gives information beyond the basics and doesnt rely on just saying motivational statments, gives real world advice. If you read and implement the ideas you are guarenteed to be more productive. 1st choice.

This is one of the best Sales books I have read! Simply outstanding - the go-to guide for complex sales. We use it routinely at our company to close business.

Solution Selling is the first book that exposed me to the world of complex, intangible and solution (vs. product) selling.

I had wanted to title this review as "The Idiot's Guide to Selling Solutions" BUT found that even though the instructions in the book literally takes a novice in sales through the process of selling complex solutions in a very straightforward manner, there STILL needs to be some thinking required by the sales person to profit from the knowledge within.

Solution Selling is the comprehensive guide for novice to learn the ropes, and a good reference book for seasoned sales pros as well. It is also a useful tool for sales managers to manage the pipelines of their teams too!

Great approach to selling, but must focuses on long sale cycle and does not pertain to all selling

Over the decades I've had the chance to work with the author at an early high tech company where he led the internal sales training classes. Later he become a consultant training some of today's largest high tech sales organizations in the world. Mike's always had tough, high standards. His ability to create a repeatable process to selling intangible products to complex organizations has led many of his pupils to excel. Many of them are now SVPs of Sales or CEOs and would be names you recognize.

But, as another reviewer says, you have to use the methodology. Reading the book is just the start.

Before "The Secret" and before the release of "The Law of Attraction" Sonia Choquette was teaching people how to create their dreams in this delightfully easy to read workbook that will help you do the very same. She breaks down the manifestation process into nine easy steps. If you do the exercises, you get results. Period.

I guided hundreds of people through the exercises in this book shortly after it came out and the results were phenomenal. People quit the groups to move to Hawaii, manifested jobs, houses, relationship, right living, you name it. Read this book, and you will create whatever you want too.

Sonia is a truly delightful, humble, and powerful spirit. And if you get a chance to attend any of her seminars, you will be richly rewarded in both bliss and powerful techniques.

Good job Sonia,
Ann Albers,
angel communicator & author, Love is the River: Learning to Live in the Flow of Divine Grace

I am surprised I haven't written a review before now. I purchased this book almost 4 years ago and it was the catalyst for a whole new life. Sonia is a wonderful teacher, and with this book you not only get step by step guidance toward making your dreams a reality, you open yourself up to a whole new way of experiencing life and the gifts that are waiting for you. This book was my beginning of having the privelege of receiving extensive training from her and teaching this to others. Whether your heart's desire is a new job, house or whole life, this book will empower you to make it happen!

I purchased this book after seeing a reference to Sonia in another self help series and I found it to be a very helpful read for those who are ready to take a serious look at what they really want in life. The author talks about her own experiences (including a very uplifting story about how she found a “prince charming” to take her to a dance) and she gives suggestions about how to prioritize and bring more positive things into your life. Her main point is focusing on positive thinking. However corny it sounds I have found that yes you can get more accomplished by being positive. Even if taking that first positive step forward is a little scary.

One thing I should point out is you have to be ready for this book. No one else can give you a roadmap to navigate your own life. An open mind and positive thinking will help you digest this book and make reading it worthwhile.

great book on getting to the true way to solve any problem one may face and I mean any problem.

I read "Your Heart's Desire" after reading "The Psychic Pathway" by the same author as I believe "The Psychic Pathway" prepares you for this following book. Your spirit must be developed before you can truly look into your heart, your soul, and find what it is you really want.
Then, using these 9 principles Sonia outlines--1)focus 2)the support of the subconscious 3)imagination 4)eliminating obstacles 5)intuitive guidence 6)supporting your dream with love 7)surrending control to the Universe 8)claiming your dream) and 9)being true to your dream, she shows you how you can actually make your dream come true.
I especially liked the 7th principle--in which she says that after you have done the primary work--the Universe kicks in and does its part.
This principle takes faith and patience to wait, as your 'heart's desire' alligns with the Divine Spirit in the Universe.
Writing with a deep sense of the spiritual, an insight gained over years of living and practicing her psychic gifts, Sonia uses examples from her own life and those of her clients to illustrate her points.
She also uses humor and practical good sense to guide the ordinary person into an extraordinary life.

I have found that most books about marketing are about someone's one success in the past and just discuss the barriers they had to break to make their winning strategy work...they tend to be egocentric. I have wanted a book that really lines out the steps to take to create people loyal to a brand. I am not looking for a magic step-by-step I know everything takes time, but this book is doing a great job explaining practical things to do to create a loyal following. I got turned on to this book by their blog which is amazing...check it out at http://www.churchofthecustomer.com/

Ben and Jackie have written a great book about how to harness the power of your happy and loyal customers to build relationships with new customers. Their authentic ideas allow brands to build trust with customers.

I have the original hard cover book and absolutely love it, it is my bible. So I bought this new one to share it. Looks updated but still has all the good stuff in it. This book has amazing ideas and examples that really work when you put them to use.

This book provides all the research needed to help you easily find customer evangelists! It's a great book, I highly recommend it.

This book is a perfect companion for wannabe-evangelists, or simply to understand the mechanisms behind some kind of "marketing" efforts (such as Dallas Mavericks' or O'Reilly Media's) that can be unclear at first.
I suggest it, a great purchase!
