Open Sesame

I bought this book based upon its title, and because it is in a category with the U. S. Andersen books.Had I not read "Three Magic Words," last month, 2 times, I would be more excited about "Grow Rich While You Sleep."That having been said, I still vote this as a 5, because I have gained some great ideas from reading this book. For example, early on, the author asks, "What is the greatest good one may expect from riches?"Had I not read other books, I would probably have listed material things, but the answers that I wrote in the margins are: confidence; choices; living exactly where you want to live; and freedom to explore life on an entirely new level.This led me to ask new questions regarding each of these benefits. Which of course led me to focus upon examples of myself having and expressing all of these.One thing that I didn't care for, in this book, is that many of the examples are dated. I had to tell myself to get pass this, so that I could really benefit from reading this wonderful book.And in my growth, I realized that "Grow Rich While You Sleep," is about creating mental pictures of yourself in the act of solving your problems -- not having your problems solved, but in the act of solving those problems.When I listed problems that I was facing it turned out that even though before buying this book I felt worried, I saw that I only had 3 problems.With the affirmations that are in this book, as well as those that I created, which I use just before going to sleep, have guided me to wake up with solutions, that have netted me more than I expected.Remember, "a problem wouldn't be a problem, if there wasn't a solution."When you are about to fall asleep, if you will allow the room to be totally dark, with no sounds in the room, close your eyes. Inhale through your nose. Hold it for 5 seconds. Then exhale it for 5 seconds.Next, while keeping your eyes closed, ask yourself what you see. You will notice, as the author has pointed out some geometric shapes. You will also be free to silently instruct your mind to find solutions for you, that will empower you, the next day.And this works.

A BETTER BOOK BY FAR

An absolutely fabulous book,very thought provoking.I was sceptical at first thinking that the whole thing was mumbo-jumbo until I tried the methods outlined in this book and I was absolutely amazed with the results.In my opinion the only way one can benefit from this book is........FAITH !!!!!

consider myself very lucky to have read it

thank you to the late, great Ben Sweetland. i was shown this book by a fellow employee. he was struggling in life and depressed just like i was. the book brought instant excitement and hope. we talked a lot about the book to and from work. if you read no other book read this one. if you are depressed you can look at the undeniable truths found in this book and seek comfort.

this book changed my life!!!!!!!

this book came to me through finding it in a box of rubbish outside of someones house.at the time i was in an unstable marriage with no direction in life.i read this book 3 times over after which it gave me the confidence to get out of a bad marriage and do something better with my life,which 10 years on i have remarried have a nine year career and a wonderful life.i can truly say without ben sweetlands words i would'nt be where i am today.

Good solid book

I really enjoyed this book. It has a lot to say although it often somewhat rereviews many points, mostly for presentation sake to really let the reader understand the concepts. Up there as a truly great life changing book.
