Summary: Quantum Alchemy
Comment: My sister begged me to read this book as she maintained it was of tremendous help to her.
First of all, this books seems be written by 2 people, or one that wised up as she was writing. First person was likely the author of many of those late night infomercials that promise to make you $5,000 in the first week of doing something part time. Second person at least made the read somewhat interesting, but it doesn't start until about 1/3 of a way through this.
The book brings up quantum physics here and there. Some nerve. There are very sound "theories" in quantum mathematics and physics that do relate to humans, universe and time and how everything is interconnected. But this voodoo is more like what I named my review - quantum alchemy.
Even philosophically speaking, their theories have holes the size of empire state building, that they simply do not have the intelligence to see through and correct - maybe they'll fix it for second edition.
During one of these "get rich quick" paragraphs, one of the supposed experts condescendingly notes that the reason why not everyone drives a BMW, is because "not everyone wants to drive a BMW", implying that some people are actually happy driving 1992 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight. But their whole theory is based on the fact that you can get absolutely anything you want, without limits (!) or effort - you just have to think about it. So driving in your Olds, and getting passed by a shiny new 550i - you wouldn't just want to wish it for you?
And the whole ANYTHING you want without limits bit - so I can technically wish myself onto the next spaceship headed for Alpha Centauri?
My sister claims that this books helps her with finding parking (one of the applications of this theory that is described in the book) - so I guess if you live in the area that has very little free parking and a lot of paid parking, this book might be worth getting as you actually might save yourself the cost of it in parking fees, past that - get a comic book, it will be more entertaining and more truthful.

Summary: Hopeful, but...
Comment: Great message, great enthusiastic delivery, but . . . I can't help thinking that despite principles such as the Law Of Attraction, there isn't much about human experience thus far explored by our greatest thinkers to supply us with much optimism. Mankind - oops, shouldn't that be PERSONkind in this PC age? - is and remains a selfish, savage breed. I generalize, of course: not everybody resembles this state. But if there is a higher being - or universal principle that allows light and abundance and limitless love into our lives - then why is Mankind's nature so ruthlessly base? Nature, too, is relentlessly cruel. Surely a benevolent being wouldn't have created man and beast so? I look to the guidance and principles of The Secret and, at most, cheer on its lantern-leading light through the darkness and doubt that afflicts us all; but I remain a reluctant cynic. I'm not implying that only gullible gombeens (an Irish expression for fool) will glean guidance from this book but I am sharply aware that the world's natural state isn't necessarily guided by loving principles. I feel compelled to add here that The Secret's author would smile at my comment of 'the world's a cruel place' and shake her head in pity at my 'belief' (which would need to be revised, according to the principles of the book) but I remain unshaken in my belief that while our reality may be guided by intelligent forces, it's yet to be exclusively revealed whether those forces can actually impact on our lives, for good, or for bad. I do, however, grasp at tendrils of optimism, and for that, I'm glad this book attempts to give those tendrils substance.
