He even goes into saying that one should not read other books but simply focus their energy on the ‘energy work‘ that this book requires.

The Reviews

The secret teaching of this book is in chapter 4 and chapter 7.Chapter 4.Every thought you have is derived from an impression of the outside world. When you SEE HEAR SMELL TOUCH or TATSE something it INVOKES a thought. In other words, we are being controlled (really we are programmed) by the outside world. What we must start to do is live from the INSIDE OUT. Give control to you, and the outside will then be a reflection of the INSIDE.These impressions create our THOUGHTS and our THOUGHTS determine how we FEEL. Therefore THINKING and FEELING as a combination is the secret ingredient to IMPRESSING your mind. Our Minds are easily IMPRESSED because we REACT (triggers emotions) to situations and people that make us FEEL bad (thought was just impressed), which leads to negativity and negativity repels money. You have to be on the right frequency to attract money. How..Chapter 7Gratitude is the seed for more. Whatever you're grateful for you will pull more of that into your life. The power is not in the gratefulness alone but the power really resides in "feeling" grateful. Feeling grateful is sending out positive emotions out into the universe and whatever you are grateful for you align with on a vibrational level."When we realize this" as Wattles says, we loose all doubt for we now know how to create what we want to create and have what we want to have and become what we want to become. You have always had control over your life, but you have given control of it to other people and circumstances because you have allowed it to take possession of your mind by your REACTION to life.Be mindful of your Words, be mindful of the words of others around you because life and death is in the power of the tongue. Words are powerful, because words determine how you feel and you can never "feel" really grateful and positive if you allow others to hurt you with their words because they are at an emotional level hurting your vibration and your vibration is what attracts everything you desire

This book changed my life. If you do what the book suggests, you will get rich. I am proof that it works. My dreams became my reality...it all took form around me. I don’t even work anymore. Just do what it says and it will work.

This book is a short read (should take you an evening or three if you allocate some time every night to read it). I'd say it's worth your while, for it changed the perspective I have around money. The perspective is this (warning: spoilers ahead). Money isn't there for you to save and horde. It isn't there for you to live until you're an old man or woman, then die a mediocre, unexamined life. Money enables you to enjoy enriching experiences. Money helps you to learn and do more so that you can be a more well-rounded, educated person, providing that body-of-knowledge and experience to other people, who will in turn reward you for helping them solve their problems. For example, I held off on purchasing a ham radio for over a year because I had a tremendous block around money. I thought it was foolish to spend several thousand dollars on a ham radio, along with antennas, tools, equipment, and other little nit-noids needed to operate. Basically, I was telling myself why it was stupid and foolish to spend the money. As a result, I talked myself out of enjoying radio for well over a year. This book helped changed my perspective around ham radio. It helped me to see that in the process of learning ham radio, I become a better engineer. It helped remind me why I wanted to get into radio in the first place: To learn about antennas and the magic of radios, those electromagnetic waves that go thousands of miles to other stations around the world, with little more than a piece of wire in my backyard. I had wanted to learn about electrical magnetic interference, the propagation of radio waves, and an intuitive understanding of electricity in general. These are things that I cannot get on the job because I'm mainly a software guy, writing code to interface with hardware, of which I have little understanding. By learning ham radio on the side, I build up this wealth of knowledge that in turn helps me understand hardware better. I become more marketable and in the process enrich my life. I hadn't realize just how much I would enjoy the hobby until I started to actually do it, and this book has helped me to overcome my stupid money barriers. If you have barriers around spending money, then I'd recommend reading this book to understand how to have more of it so that you don't have to worry about spending the money you have now, thinking you'll never see it again because of insecurities and fears around not being able to make more of the green stuff.

Summary: Use you faith, life purpose, and vision and you can mold the formless intelligence into riches. God receives delight through us and our endeavors and seeks not lack. Increase is what all women and men seek. You, acting as a center of increase, convey the impression of advancement. People and riches are drawn to this forward movement and abundance. Bring them well-being, love, riches of their own, and you will ensure your work's "use value" is greater than its cash value, which equals advancement.

I gave this book a 5star because it has helped me tremendously. This is my second time reading this book and my life has changed with so much richness in it. This book is so life changing if it is read with an understanding of how the Universe really works. Your desires will come to you just as you imagine them. Our minds can create anything we desire in our lives. It's a science that can not fail. If we practice a deep feeling of gratitude uniting ourselves with Devine Intelligence,all things are possible.

Using book for self-education.

Very easy read. If you’re into this kind of stuff you should definitely check out happy little pocket full of money

This book is good value. Has a lot of good quotes and information on it that can be utilized. Good buy.

This book had been recommended by Jake Ducey but was out of print, then I later saw this version was published. It's your run of the mill independently published format, and unfortunately I had to deduct a star because my copy didn't have page numbers (I wrote those in myself!) and the typeset features large gaps that offset the paragraphs in strange places. That's quite a distraction.The book itself-- it's one of the earliest published law of attraction / new thought works (I seem to have acquired a lot of these works, between Wattles, Genevieve Berehendt and Napoleon Hill's.) The author's voice is that of encouragement and it's quite an easy read for being old-timey. The formula is what you'd expect-- focus on abundance and your own ability and right to receive wealth to further enrich your life. Having wealth is not a competition, having does not take away from others, there is enough to go around from the infinite universe and we are all deserving! It's a great little guide to follow and refer back to. My copy is heavily marked in highlighter.

I’ve read this book over 10 times and at only a chapter a day I am still amazed every time I pick it up!! It not only teaches the principle of faith, but then how to work out the faith to bring success!! The answer to prayer does not come by faith when you are talking but by faith when you are working.

Good read.

Great thought provoking quick read!

Kinda obvious someone just randomly re-printed this book and didn't care about formatting. The book is great, but buy it from another seller
