Buy "Ask and it is given" instead July 26, 2008
If you want to buy only one book of the Hicks tandem, I suggest "ask and it is given" instead.

This one is more an expansion which does not bring any new prospective.

I would suggest the purchase only if you are one of those persons (like me) who like reading the same things said in a different way and don't mind spending a bit more to do it.

I would suggest that the reader also brings his own Christian prospective in this books; if one leaves it aside it is amazing how many people (as easily verifiable on the internet) abuse of these books to delude themselves into being omnipotent beings or into justifying their every childish tendency.

Still: correctly understood and put in their right prospective, the book makes for an interesting reading and an integration to "Ask and it is given"

Law of Attraction Basics May 1, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

The Law Of Attraction is one of the later books written by Jerry and Esther Hicks containing the teachings of Abraham, a group of non-physical entities channelled by Esther. It is, however, a book that focuses on the basics of the teachings, and for that reason I'd suggest reading this one first if you are new to Abraham-Hicks' material.

If you have already read other books written by the Hicks, like The Amazing Power Of Deliberate Intent and Ask And It Is Given, you may find much of the information in The Law Of Attraction repetitive, especially that contained in Part I which focuses on the Hicks' journey to channelling Abraham. Although Part II (The Law Of Attraction), Part III (The Science Of Deliberate Creation), Part IV (The Art Of Allowing), and Part V (Segment Intending) were largely familiar to me, I still found much of value in them. Through a series of questions and answers, these sections did clarify quite a few aspects of the material for me and also gave a very thorough overview of Abraham's teachings.

The Law Of Attraction has often received criticism from those who have only watched The Secret and concluded that it is all about magical thinking and how to attract more material possessions into your life. If you want a good introduction to how the Law Of Attraction is so much more than this, and a more spiritual take on the principles, I would recommend that you start with The Law Of Attraction as well as look into other books published by the Hicks.

Terrific Book on Manifestation April 15, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

With all the hoopla surrounding the law of attraction these days, I just read Law of Attraction and think Michael Losier does an excellent job in conveying how to manifest your desires.

I have been successfully practicing the laws of attraction (manifesting desires) for years and wrote how to do this in my book, Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet.

Losier explains that you attract what you give energy, focus and attention to. What could be simpler or more true! Most of us are bombarded with stuff every day. The reality is, as you walk or drive down a street, you see only a fraction of what is in front of you--you see what you are tuned into.

For example, if there is a hawk in sight, I will see it, because I am tuned into them, whereas most people won't. (I asked the photographer to keep an eye peeled to the sky duing my wedding ceremony because I knew hawks would be about. As soon as the ceremony was over, three hawks were spotted flying above our wedding party.)

Let's say you are in the market for a new dishwasher. Suddenly, dishwashers are everywhere! Or a particular car, or shoes or cute guys...You simply see what you are focused on.

Mr. Losier discusses how positive and negative energies take a strong role in attracting what we do and don't want. Again, I completely concur.

In fact, being around positive energy helps increase our own! (Keep this in mind when you begin your practice of attracting.) For example, Flowers improve our emotional health and help raise our positive energies. In a study done in 2000 at Rutgers State University,it was found that flowers trigger happy emotions and improve feelings of life satisfaction. Dr. Haviland, the lead scientist in the study said: "Flowers bring about positive emotional feelings in those who enter a room and they make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere."

Mr. Losier discusses how we must allow those good things to come to us. Yes! Give yourself full permission to recieve! You deserve it!

My successes at manifesting my desires--attracting what I want--have truly been the highlights of my life. I have gotten exactly the right jobs, I met my husband, published a book...

In fact, I am so used to working the law of attraction, that "the little things" often don't faze me. For example, as a designer, I am often on the lookout for the perfect piece of furniture. Am I surprised when I find it? Not anymore.

If you are ready to manifest your dreams, learn the laws of attraction. And for extra power, learn how to rid your home of negative energy and create a sanctuary that resonates with positive energy.

What you ask for, you will get. March 30, 2008

This book teaches and reflects on one of the most powerful ideas from the Teachings of Abraham, that what you have in your life is what you have attracted to be a presence in your life. In other words, you create a way of life for yourself by your intentions. The teachings of Abraham are messages the authors, Esther and Jerry Hicks have received over a period of time and which they have transcribed for millions of readers to learn from and discover how to manifest a way of life for themselves they had only dreamt of previously.

I especially found the chapter "The Art of Allowing:Defined" to be insightful and useful in my day to day living in New York City. The idea that what I resist or not allow only produces more unwanted things is so true. For example I noticed the more I wanted a car horn to stop honking and the more attention I gave to it, the louder and more invasive the sound became. Once I relaxed and put my attention into how I was walking and my surroundings, the less loud the horn sounded and less invasive it became for me. Soon disappearing from overtaking my thoughts, even though it was still sounding. In other words, the more I allowed the honking of the horn, the less bothersome it became to me.

Two other books I highly recommend reading if you enjoyed "The Law of Attraction" are written by Ariel and Shya Kane and called "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation" and "Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment." The Kanes present a transformational approach to living which produces a meaningful and satisfying way of life. Both the Kane's and this book are insightful, practical and easy to follow guides for you to become the author of your own truly magnificent life.

sort of, but not quite January 19, 2008

Very nearly there in terms of what it gives but it falls down on the "me, me, me" factor ... just too much of that and not enough about giving to repay what has been received. Albeit a rather decent read, it did not quite do it for me, sorry.
