Attractions Books

Great reading, quite a bit of personal work involved but if you are enthusiastic you will love it. Not for the person who wants to get everything they want without doing any work at all!!!

This is a poor, and opportunistic, rehash of the Law of Attraction.

The authors have added their cutesy little variations, like the 79 cent notebook and all that jazz, to make it different.

I was turned off because they have used the book to sell very expensive seminars on their website.

Skip this book. This is simply a get-rich-quick scheme by the authors.

I definitely recommend Write It Down, Make It Happen, as another reviewer did.

Though this book is not a religious oriented book per se, it speaks that 1/10 of our earnings belong to God. I bought this book and some time a bit later I started giving 1/10 back to God in different modes. i have given to people who were in need and I reaped big returns. It helped them and it helped me.
It is sometimes difficult to give when you, yourself have such great financial needs, but stepping out in faith is warranted and greatly rewarded. The mere 10% of what I would have kept or saved was never missed. The principles laid out in the book describes what happens and why it is something we owe. I waited for such a long time to do what I owe to God and now I am honored by this act. I highly recommend it.

OK, true, this is the first "cosmic ordering" book I have read, so perhaps I am not in a position to give a very "deep" revirew but I found this book very enjoyable! Since a lot of my "wish list" lies in the "Do" and "Be" catagories, I cannot point as clearly to "successes" thus far but what i do see is that more and more "opportunities" seem to be coming into my life that could help in the achievement of these desires. Now, sceptics will say that these opportunities would have come anyway but that I just may not have noticed them or focussed on them and to that I say, so? As the author of this book says, you do not have to BELIEVE (although I do), just do it! Does it really matter if "God" is actually "giving" me these things or just making me more aware? Does it really matter if "I" am doing these things or "God" is? The point is that they are manifesting and, as a "beginner" at all of this, I am just happy that this manifestation is happening at all! As time goes on, I am sure that i will want to delve more depply into the "whys and wherefores" but for the moment, this seems to be the perfect "how to" for "cosmic ordering". Enjoy!

The law of tithing applies to everything not just money. It simply states that you should put your belief in your higher power first in everything you do, no matter your beliefs, and all your undertakings will turn out well. Always remember that you don't have to do anything as you have free will. However, the universe is governed by laws designed to be fair to all beings, and therefore cannot be broken or modified for every person as this would create complete chaos and an universal jungle. In principle, whatever you want the most in your life you need to give first. It must come out of your heart and desire because you feel is the right thing to do. Naturally, if you want more prosperity tithing 10% of your income will help you build a mental equivalent of what you desire, so that you can increase your income and keep it in increased. The money should be given to a good cause you are currently a part of and is helping you with your spiritual development. Tithing is not considered charity or goodwill; it is designed to help you raise your consciousness to the divine within eradicating poverty and lack from you life. Donating to charity is a wonderful act of gratitude that should also be part of your life. The more you give the more you receive; it is law. However, if the concept doesn't feel right, you are simply not ready for this undertaking at this moment. When you begin to see your higher power as your supply and not the thing itself, you begin to see the truth in it all (abundance is unlimited) and you no longer feel attached to persons, things, circumstances, etc., because you know that everything you desire by right of consciousness is yours and all your needs are met instantaneously. Only then can all the riches begin to circulate in your life. The law must be expressed through your own soul and never through that of another for it to have a significant meaning and impact in your life. Prosperity, love, peace of mind, etc will always be ready when you are!

This is my second Emma Holly book. I liked it, a lot. Other reviewers have mentioned the lack of plot and that's true, but it's still a good read. The thing is,I didn't really care one way or the other about the female character. The love stories involving her were shallow at best. The two male characters, however, had a really sweet love story. That one I believed with no problem and I really liked them both. Bottom line, the book is worth buying and reading. I might not re-read it, but I did enjoy it.

Most of the previous reviewers have gone into aspects of the plot and I won't retread what has already been well stated. One thing that has to be brought up is that Emma Holly can write characters. People have traumas; they make mistakes and those mistakes mark their future actions and interaction with people. What Emma doesn't write is moping.

Charity's made a lot of mistakes in her life, but when she accepts Eric's offer and goes to B.G.'s manor, she charms her way into becoming more than another guest. Her sense of humor and no-nonsense approach make her irresistible to a pair of men who've, by no coincidence, isolated themselves from the world. She is inspired by Eric and B.G. to look beyond those mistakes in the past and see herself as the intelligent, perspicacious woman both feel Charity wants and needs to become. She however, invokes a change in the lives of the men by bringing some much needed humor, kindness and warmth into their everyday existence.

It's wonderful to see the threesome falling for each other and even better to see a woman having fun with her sexuality, learning that smart girls can overcome bad beginnings and that there is a place for quantum physics in an adult story with plenty of steam. Charity/Eric/B.G. will heat up your libido and make you want to read more about paradoxical thought experiment known as Schrodinger's cat.

I don't even know where to start...I'll just say this. I had never read this kind of book and what a great way to start. I was surprised by how erotic the writing was! Even the um...guy/guy stuff was really, really hot! (and I never thought I'd enjoy that part of it) Written more like a porno movie than romance novel but still a fun read!

I love the fact that Emma Holly always comes up with something fresh and she's not afraid to tread new territory in an entertaining way. A sexy, sexy book involving m/f, m/m, and menage. The premise is somewhat slight but not annoyingly so, and the relationships are believable and so is the sex. Enjoyed it and will read it again.

If you like this one, I also highly recommend her book, Menage.

Not enough story for my tastes. Mostly sex scenes. Well written however. If you're looking for a bit of naughty self comfort, this will appeal.
A young woman goes to a manision where she has plenty of sex, small amount of self discovery, and eventually finds love. Like I said, not much story but some harmless well written sex scenes.

Started out interesting, an alien prince. Check. Then the prince meets a human. Check. When the ship arrives with the elders, that's when it really lost interest for me. So, I skipped ahead, hoping it would regain my interest. But to no avail. The story lacked enough depth to carry it through, unless you're looking for a very superficial story.
Sunny, Kresley Cole are a lot better than this book..

Ms. Knight is a fantastic author. The words she uses to spin her tale are amazing. I was swept up not only in the romance between Jared and Kelsey. I also found the culture of the Refarians fascinating. I am sure there is so much more to learn and I cannot wait! The intricate details were planned and I was blown away by how well she created the alien world. Having it take place in our backyard just makes it come alive.

Jared is a man full of duty and honor to his people. That was so refreshing. He also knew that he could not commit to someone he did not care for romantically. Scott Dillon, his best friend, did not understand that at all. But he had to get over it to support Jared's decision. Kelsey had so much heartache but knew someone was out there for her. Her friends thought she was silly but she knew it in her heart. That was all that mattered to her. I really felt for Thea since she had this ideal in her mind since she was a child. All the people truly loved Jared and I believed that he deserved their admiration.

This is a series that truly delights from the start. I love Science Fiction and if all aliens look like Jared. They truly sizzle. Yet the people do want to protect Earth and win their world back from their enemy. I was pulled in from the beginning. The emotions are real and the difficulties ahead for Jared and Kelsey are not easy for them to face. I just hope they continue to do well.

I would have liked to known just a little bit more about the Refarian world. But I think that will happen with each book read.

This kept me glued. Great characterizations, twists of plots, unique universe. Couldn't wait to get the next in the series. Combines the best of sci fi and romance. Alien characterization totally unique.

Even if you've never read o series before or never plan to, you must read this one because Deidra has really wrote romance for the future. I predict many awards going her way.

I'm glad I got this book from the library and didn't spend any money buying it, because this book was awfull, I can't beleive anyone really liked it. I'm a huge fan of sci-fi & paranormal romance books, but this story sucked, I did'nt like any of the people in the book and the romance was lame.

fui de los primeros que obtuvieron el libro cuando salio a la venta, como regalo.
Yo esperaba realmente que esta autora revelara un verdadero"secreto" de los mis terios de la humanidad, pero al leerlo mi desilucion fue creciendo, la autora solo muestra principios mentales y tecnicas aplicadas YA CONOCIDAS por autores anteriores, me da risa como segun ella revela tecnicas de FENG SHUI!!!! como nunca antes conocidas (jajajaja).
Creo que a este libro le pusieron asi solo para dar un golpe publicitario y darle sensacionalismo solo para incrementar las ventas de este mismo.

Este libro no es muy bueno, ni mucho menos novedoso.La tecnica del cheque es muy conocida(lo que hizo Jim Carry).
La verdad el secreto no es mas que la aplicacion del principio de atraccion, pero ahy un libro que es mucho mucho mejor que este, y que en el se basan TODOS pero todos los libros de esta materia es "EL KIBALYON" libro de los egipcios que revela no solo el principio de atraccion sino muchos mas.

El Secreto (The Secret)Es muy interesante aparte de los consejos de vida k te da te hace recordar y valorar las cosas buenas sobre todo ser agradecidos por lo k tenemos, me gusto mucho .

Que descubrir en ti mismo el poder que tienes para hacer que las cosas cambien,...........

Les recomiendo la versión AUDIO MP3 de Piense y Hágase Rico Piense y hagase rico

La escritora australiana Rhonda Byrne logró reunir a grandes maestros, filósofos, escritores, científicos, etc. que comprenden y aplican en sus vidas los principios de la Ley de la Atracción. Estos personajes destacados comparten con nosotros sus conocimientos y experiencias sobre el tema en forma por demás amena e instructiva. La Sra. Byrne incluye, además, pensamientos brillantes que tomó de grandes escritores que vivieron durante los siglos 18, 19 y 20 quienes, afortunadamente, dejaron su obra, o gran parte de ella, escrita en libros que aún se pueden encontrar en algunas tiendas. Robert Collier, Prentice Mulford, Charles Haanel y Charles Fillmore son los nombres de algunos de los pioneros de la citada ley que mas sirvieron de sustento para estructurar El Secreto, sin embargo también podemos encontrar citas de Budha, Henry Ford, Shakespeare, Emerson, etc. Es realmente excepcional el trabajo realizado para la elaboración de este documento que ha servido y servirá para que muchas personas aprendan cuestiones que tienen que ver con la utilización de sus propios recursos personales así como recursos del Universo para lograr una vida mas plena.-

If you are a man, live on the planet Earth, and have any interest in dating women or catching the woman of your dreams, you had better read this book. There is a huge number of books, programs, DVD's and seminars on the subject, but they don't hold a candle to this book in terms of clearly described info, immediately useful info and researched-based information. And, it's an easy and quick read. No fluf or boring academic details; just enough academic background on each point she makes to convince you. And besides the author being a highly knowledgeable and experienced authority, she's a woman!

While the writing style of this book is no better than her other book "How To Talk To Anyone..", the information is. If you follow Mystery's or any other PUG really you will most likely only hear about 3 or 4 IOIs through body language. This book actually discusses and shows pictures of 26 and even sites the information present very well (a well know sociologist sat in a bar for 9,000 and studied this). It brings to light a much more rich, colorful, and complicated set of body language actions to watch for that will give you a much better understand of what she is actually trying to tell you.

The bad points. 1) The name is less than creative. 2) The cover makes the book appear sleazy and diminishes it's credibility. 3) She uses bad metaphors like a machine gun with the trigger taped down. If you took out the metaphors I am pretty sure the book would be a quarter less in length. 4) Her attempts at humor fall short. 5) Her "Men's Voice" sounds like Stallone's retarded cousin.

If you can get past the issues above the book is a great resource. The good points. 1) The information in the book is plentiful, sound, and backed up with sources. 2) She references a lot of sources that would be good for a future reading. Honestly, the list of sources alone is worth the cost of the book.

Read Mystery. Read Strauss. Don't read this. There are a bunch of photos of woman with come hither looks(all looking like 80s disco queens), one of which has the women showing thigh. Lowndes helpfully tells us that these looks mean a women is interested and men need to pick up on the looks. No fooling. (Although I have not been blessed by one of the looks. Guess I am toast.) One photo shows a nerdy looking guy being touched by three women and Lowndes says that women touch men they desire. She forgets to say though that many women just touch you to stress a point they are making.(Sure if they play with your hair, that's another thing.) This is dangerous advice. She has tiresome chapters on genetics and early imprinting(she tells the story of a pal of hers who falls for a guy who looked like the pal's dad). She also says us that women are always judging men so be careful what you say and how you say it. How exhausting.

Worth it even if only for 1 thought.
"I'm not looking at who I pick, it's who picks me."
Everything else was good, if somewhat repetitive.
The pictures show some points better than pages of descriptive text.

Wow! Your book - Undercover Sex Signals: A Pickup Guide For Guys has changed my life. Many Thanks. I also highly recommend The Exclusive Layguide: When Dating and Having Sex with Incredibly Hot Women is No Longer Mirage Even If You Don't Look Like a Model or Don't Make a Fortune

This book has some decent information in it, but it is hidden within prose that insults my intelligence.

The book is an easy read. There is very little information that you will not already know but this particular diet book is funny. One thing that I found useless was the foul language and constant references to bringing home some strange guy! What does that have to do with being a hot chick? Anyway, I have a renewed appreciation for spinach (read the book) and am enjoying eating like a hot chick everyday!

...to know that this is a waste of time and money. If you want someone's opinion about what SHE does to stay slim (I get asked this ALL the time since I'm 5'10" and 130 pounds...as if there's some magic secret that has not yet been discovered), then you'd be just as well off to start asking friends, neighbors, colleagues and strangers what they like to eat. The "advice" will be just as valuable as anything you're going to find in this book.

The first red flag about their cluelessness was at the beginning of the sample text selection, wherein the authors stated "...it's okay to eat something retarded in the morning." Helllooo?? I can only imagine what parents, friends, and family of developmentally challlenged individuals think when they see that.

But I continued reading, nonetheless, to see what guidance and pearls of dietary wisdom they might impart. Basically, they're just chatting about what they--with no apparent special knowledge, qualifcations or nutritional training--do, and give basic advice that you'd find in any free magazine or newspaper column (avoid artificial, empty-calorie foods, etc. etc.).

I can give more effective advice, for free, in one sentence: go vegan, try to limit your food to organic as much as possible, limit calories to 1000/day, take high-quality supplements, and exercise regularly.

This is a great book that has showed me how to eat bad and still look good. Any girl who is struggling to lose the weight or keep it off should read this book. I also liked Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World.

How To Eat Like a Hot Chick!

While perusing the aisles of the Beverly Hills library, I came across this most fabulous book!
"How to Eat Like a Hot Chick," was written by a NY publishing maven and a Los Angeles actress. Now, before stereotypes of this or that come crashing into your head like the memory of last night's Mud Slide you had before sinking into a puddle beneath somebody's coffee table, hear me out.

This book is written with savvy, know-how, common sense, and above all -- accessibility! They even cuss, which shows you - this ain't your Momma's diet book!

It gives tips, recipes and scenarios that make any 'hot chick' feel she can conquer those brow-squishing first dates; office parties; slumber parties; and live-in sichiations with men or women.

Plus, their recipes are simple, because, if you're like me, then you sort of feel put off by a book brimming over with 1/4 cup this, .8 teaspoon of baking soda that.

So, give it a shot. If you've found yourself yo-yo dieting or plagued by negative thinking, perhaps this book will be a pocket assistant along your journey to a slimmer, healthier, more fantastic YOU!*

It also promotes healthful relationships with women. Now, you can't beat that!

Yours, yours, yours,

This is the second book in the Raintree triology that was written by three women who were able to work so well together so well that this fascinating tale goes very smoothly and is a must read for good light reading. The combination of romace, phychic powers and charactors will keep you interested from page one right up until you finish the very last word.

This is the worst Linda Howard book I have read. SPOILER-In the first third of the book, the woman is mind raped, mind controlled-she couldn't speak or move, kidnapped, and her clothes are ripped off-by Dante. Ms. Howard spends the next part of the book having Dante justify what he did-although 'he would do it again'. I'm glad I have read other Linda Howard books. If this was my first, it would have definitely been my last.

Neither Hope nor Gideon appear to have much reason for what they do. The premise of "I see dead people" has been done to death also. The characters were cardboard. There was no mystery. The evil woman wasn't even interesting. I should have known when the Linda Howard first book wasn't that good that the series was not going anywhere. I recommend spending scarce reading hours elsewhere.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the chemistry between the two strong characters of Gideon and Hope - even though the romance moved a bit too quick to be completely believable, this IS a romance, after all, so that made it kind of fun.

I would have liked to have found out more about the dark forces working against them. Why did Cael send Tabby to kill the Raintree heirs, what the heck was she going to do with her trophies? But, I liked this book about Gideon and his unique powers over electricity.

This book was very good. It had great pacing and was quite good at holding my interest (which is not always easy). Although it is not the first in the series, it makes you want to get the trilogy.

This is the third book in the series. Joanne Walker (Siobhan Walkingstick) is getting much less whiney about and more accepting of her capabilities. A good thing. There is a little too much of the formula "reaching down deep for something she never knew she had" but the author is moving beyond that. C.E. Murphy is growing as an author as her character grows as a person. A very good read for fellow "Walker Papers" lovers.

Once again, Murphy delivers an engaging tale about urban shaman, Joanna Walker. I finished it in two days.

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I really enjoyed all of CE Murphy's books.

I was so excited when this book came out! Urban Shaman wet my thirst and geared me up for the long haul, but Thunderbird Falls was a bit of a let down. Coyote Dreams started out great and kept me reading. It definitely made up for any dislike I had for book two. This book dug so much deeper in to the characters we've all come to love or hate - I no longer wanted to reach in to the pages and shake some sense (or nonsense) in to Joanne! I gobbled up this book and couldn't wait for the next!

...but the series ended there.

Fellow readers may agree that the series didn't feel "complete." I, for one, have unanswered questions. Great read, but if you're expecting more to come then prepare yourself for disappointment. Oh well, that's what the imagination is for.

This book was BORING, I made it almost half way & gave up. The best thing about this book was the book cover, which was excellent.

Always Talk To Strangers is an excellend dating advice book which has great long term value. The 18 pages flows with valuable street smart insight on how to attract a mate.

A big part of David Wygant's approach is image. What may seem superficial in a first glnce, is relly quite sensible and important. One can vary a style a little bit but truthfully its always good to have at least one or two good suits even in todays business causal world. The mix and match apporach is very sensible. Same with a good pair of jeans.

Another good chapter is the about responding to personal ads. David gives us several written examples that emphasize being specific and being passionate with your words. The more inquisitive you are the better you will appeal to someone else. Furthermore, one can read back in these examples nd apply them directly to ones specific situation.

I could give away more eamples, but all you single readers out there need to get this book into your library. Its very valuable without being excessive.

I run a singles organization, and am constantly in search of good reference materials. I happened to get an ebook online from a man called David Deangelo who sells and markets a whole line of materials of this same genre. Part of his program consists of audio CDs with dating gurus, one of which was David Wygant. I kept this CD in my car for over a month literally laughing at that great material. In the interview David came across as confident, relaxed, and inventive. I only wish this book was as good as his interview, but it does highlight all the basics of his philosophy in meeting a partner. He covers all aspects, atttitude(sometimes called inner game), attire(what to wear), presentation(the importance of good hygiene), and more. I feel alot of people can benefit from his audacity, and mantra. However this book falls short in it's own merit from it's approach, I only wish whoever was his writting coach(since David himself is not a writer), would have brought out more of his humor thoughout the book with lots of examples or fun stories. Overall this is a good book, which will give most people the necessities they need to find their perfect someone.

It always baffles me as to the complaints about dating books. Did anyone really think there was that one book that would open up the clouds with profound dating revelations? Yes, this is coming from someone that "surprisingly" isn't the author of the book or a planted review.

At any rate, Wygant's book isn't ground-breaking and that's the prime reason for the four star rating. However, for the remaining stars left, Wygant's book packs as much useful dating advice than most books out there. Always Talk to Strangers provides much common sense such as dressing well, smiling, and not being afraid to talk to people. However, it's the way Wygant goes about all of this that's helpful since many of us weren't born with common sense or taught half of these truths in junior high.

For me, the personal grooming/hygiene sections are extremely self-explanatory and for me useless. Sadly enough, I have more than a few friends that could take a solid look at this section.

Among the most helpful sections are where to meet women, props to use in conversation, and varying techniques to "close the deal" after you've been talking to a woman for a while. In addition, Wygant poses several different questions that you should ask yourself whenever approaching a woman that you fear rejection from. Furthermore, there are great sections on both internet dating and blind dating that are definitely useful.

Is a majority of this common sense? The first few sections on hygiene, grooming , physical/mental makeover, and dating myths are. However, the rest of the book had a lot of stuff I'd given little thought to or never thought of altogether. If you call that common sense, then so be it. However, most of Wygant's advice has definitely helped improve my perspective on dating/picking up women. For the price of $3-4 on Amazon Marketplace, what have you really got to lose?

-Travis.



update (8-3-08):

I read this book again just a couple of days ago on vacation and my comments remain largely the same. I disagree slightly on the internet portion of it though. I'm no stranger to the online dating game and the fact that David acts like gorgeous women are online in every city is simply not true. It's not true in Houston (one of the BIGGEST cities in the world), anyway. Maybe I'm not in the right age range for online dating yet, but hell I'm 22. How long does one have to wait? At any rate, most of what David says is very spot on in other areas, just don't get too psyched up about his Internet Boot Camp dating ideas.

Men, cut that mullet or trim that ponytail! (p. 42) Women, teased hair is out! (p. 41) (Just in case anyone has been asleep since the B-52s debuted or models her hair style from Gary Larson cartoons.) And not only does dating coach David Wygant tell daters to put a Q-tip in your ear, he gives you step-by-step instructions on p. 44. And, men and women, for goodness sake, trim that nose hair! (p. 49.)

Get the feeling the advice in this book is rather basic, common sense stuff? You're right. Granted, it's not all about grooming, although most of those tips are common sense as well. Advice includes how to: fill out internet profiles, start conversations with anyone (and gain the courage to do so), ask for phone numbers, and tell if someone's single. Hint - that wedding ring is a BIG clue (p. 158). But Wygant goes beyond the wedding ring to less obvious clues.

I have mixed feelings about the book. It's virtually all good advice, although I know happily married guys with ponytails. And there's none of the silly dating "play hard to get" Rules type of advice. I would think a lot of people will already know most of this stuff (although I've been on some dates from hell with guys who didn't). Anyway, here it is in one place to possibly serve as a motivator or refresher to someone who is just entering the dating scene or who has been out of it a while. It's a particularly good book for folks who are shy or who have difficulty starting conversations with the opposite sex. I suggest checking it out of the library first, lest you purchase this book only to find you knew about 98% of this stuff.

Mr. Greenstein wasn't being accurate earlier with regard to the section, "The Entitlement Myth." Although we respect his opinion, we beleive he has taken our work out of context. Here are the first few paragraphs of that section for future potential readers.

"I can't tell you how many clients have come to me and said, "David, you're my last resort. I've done the right things. I've been a good person. Yet, nothing ever happens to me. I never get asked out. I'm alone and I'm tired of being alone. Aren't I entitled to a little happiness?" My response to them is a resounding, "No."

People aren't entitled to happiness. People have to work for happiness just as they have to work for a successful career, and in the very same way they have to work and save for a house, a car, a stereo, retirement, or even to maintain friendships.

When you believe you're entitled to something, you won't go after it. You passively wait around hoping whatever you feel entitled to will be handed to you on a silver platter. When no one serves it up to you, you become angry, upset, and frustrated. "Damn it," you proclaim. "I'm a good person. I do the right things. I'm entitled to this." You become reactive, instead of proactive."

You be the judge.

This is a great CD as an introduction to meditation and how to do it.
Also, I use it to calm my self and stop a lot of the inner chatter that goes on. I highly recommend it.

The power we have over ourselves usng creative visualization is infinite. This was easy, relaxing and perfect for people who want to tap into themselves. One of the best purchases ive made.

I was looking for a creative visualization meditation program that I could listen to in the mornings when I woke up. There are several short meditations on this CD that are perfect for that and don't take much time. What I also like is the 30-minute relaxation & goal visualization session that I can listen to at night before bed. I regularly have this CD is my car when I need to relax or motivate myself with positive thoughts. The CD is 60 minutes long, but you can easily listen to it in short pieces if you don't have an hour to spare.

The case was broken in shipment because the CD had not been packed properly/at all. It was shipped in a manila envelope with no cushion or bubble wrap whatsoever.

I recommend Shakti Gawains Creative Visulization Meditation CD. It's
certainly not the best one out there, but is good for beginners. This 60 minute CD is much better then the original book on tape she did years ago. On that tape, she read very fast, she sounded unenthusiastic, the meditations were rushed, so I couldn't get much out of it.

Here, she reads slow and her voice is calm and relaxing. The added music is pretty good, however I would have wanted a little more time spent with her guidance through the creative visualizations.
