I liked it. I think Tosha Silver's voice is easy to follow and her line of thinking is clear: you can choose to go through life the hard way and believe it's you against the world OR that life is divine and everything is for your benefit (you just have to slow down enough to take notice). This is more a collection of anecdotes to show how letting go into the inspired way of living looks for others and might look for you.

This book got me at a time when I was just beginning to trust that the whole world is open to me. I was a wreck. I had dealt with trauma. I had dealt with therapy. I had endured with resilience. I had a touch of skepticism about spirituality books.
She writes in a way to still be heard beyond the murmurs of well that won’t work for me. Sharing anecdotes from her own life as a healing practitioner from some of her clients in vivid detail. I couldn’t put this book down. It was a breeze to read, and with a good purpose I felt a lightness return to my spirit as I turned each page. I would recommend this book to skeptics and the wide open alike!

How to make this constructive.
I read a lot of New Age books, so my dislike of this has nothing to do with the premise. Found it increasingly frustrating how the anecdotes were laid out, also very out of touch with the world. The issues presented in the book as obstacles are: moving apartments, finding a parking space, on a couple of occasions it was about planning a vacation, getting into a fight with a green piece activist raising money on a street… They just got so obnoxious and frankly I envy this author for not having bigger problems in life.
The author is also an astrologer, and makes extremely vague astrology references throughout the book. Very mystifying, very confusing, and in no way adds to our (the average person’s) understanding of astrology - which I actually would’ve found interesting.
If you want a book on manifestation/prayer I highly recommend prayer: the art of believing by Neville Goddard.

I marked several passages here to keep as favorites. Divine Order, show me the way, and when I don't find it, show me again! A logical read for those open to the idea that we're part of a universe of guidance, and we just need to become aware of the signs.

I heard about this book three years ago. I put it on my request list for my library in January. Just two weeks ago I checked and was slated to get it in July. Last week was terrible. I was stressed and breaking down. Friday I get a call that a book I have requested is available for pick up. I went on Saturday knowing this was the only one I was awaiting. Sure enough, it was there. I started reading yesterday and every single word applied to what I am going through. I saw where I had closed myself off to God and the possibilities. I was holding tight and trying to control everything that was out of my control. I read this book in less than 24 hours. Today I ordered it. I need to repeat it over and over again until I learn to completely be open. I would say in a lot of ways I've come a long way from what I used to be, but this book definitely opened my eyes.
One other part of this story. I woke up Saturday morning with the revelation that all the scriptures about sinning are not admonitions against sin. ( I have always thought my fretting was a sin because we are commanded not to do it). But instead, those scriptures about not worrying are supposed to be comforts and reassurances. THEN I go read this book, and WOW! I say if you are struggling. Be open enough to read this book no matter what spirituality path you follow.

Julia Cameron was definitely smoking this when she wrote The Artist’s Way

Seeking out my life coach after back to back miscarriages and feeling helpless, she strongly recommended this book to me. I purchased it, went home and read it in one sitting. I have 59 tabs in this short 207 page book. After finishing it I already know I will be returning to work deeper with the messages she has put into this book. It gave me a lot to think about and it also gave me hope after the losses.

Unfortunately filled with astrology and manifesting and belief in a deity. However, the message underneath the jargon is one of releasing attachment to desires and embracing freedom. Which is something a LOT of people need to hear.

Fantastic book. I think it will be a quarterly re-read for me.
