Very Profound

There is a world of wisdom in this book. However it might not be for everybody. If you are looking for some instant "secrets" that can change your life, look elsewhere. This book explores how we react based on our ingrained emotions. Reason does not rule our lives - the subconscious mind does. And we do not simply tell our subconscious mind to think different. "The subconscious mind must preceive, then accept." If we let our ego rule our lives, we are constantly competing. That is a game we will never win. There will always be someone who has more, has done more, is better educated or younger, better looking, etc. We must learn that there is a higher purpose in life and we need to learn how to supress our ego and follow the higher purpose. There are some great insights about life and how to live it. However since it represents a way of thinking that will be new to most people, it takes some time to read and absorb. It is well worth the effort if you approach the subject with an open mind. It is a book to be studied. The concepts will take time to sink into our subconscious mind. But if you will follow the teachings of the book, you will discover true magic.

Superb

This is a superb book. US Andersen is one of the best! He has an understanding of principles of Law beyond most writers. When he really gets going, it's almost like poetry. Only drawback is a lack of organization - this is not the most well-organized treatise written. This is to be forgiven, as it all is worthwhile. Highly recommended for those seeking answers as to how your mind works, and how it interacts with the Master Mind. Read it!

The mystery behind successful goal setting

I was wondering for years why goal setting, with all its techniques would be so ineffective. This book clearly explains why. Your random wishing and repetitions everyday will amount to nothing unless you let go. What a relief... It clearly explains why you are not in control and never will be. I slept well after reading this book. Definitely one to visit over and over again.

A profound, life-changing read

This book is without question one of the most important ever written. After reading it I knew my life would never be the same again. It really makes you see what is possible in this world of "false boundaries and limits" and plants the desire to follow your heart and to never lose sight of your dreams, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. Thanks to Steve Vai for mentioning this book in an interview years ago. I never would have heard of it or gone out and bought it if it weren't for him.
