I have such incredibly mixed feelings about this book. Large parts of it are very inspiring, interesting, even soothing to read. It helped me deeply contemplate patterns of negativity and self-defeating thoughts, and how these patterns may hold us all back in life. It offers a simple mind training meditative technique that absolutely works when one needs to calm the mind and nervous system, experience less suffering, and overcome mental obstacles.
On the other hand, the book is packed wall to wall with wildly batshit un-cited claims and stories, where the author will just casually say stuff like, "There was a woman who had negative thoughts which manifested in multiple sclerosis! And when she learned to release her negativity, her body returned to peak health! Today she is very happy!"
Like, WHAT? It's like a hippie philosophy book written as though it is an evidence based pop-neuroscience book as dictated by a cult guru, filled with stories that are presented as true but contain no verifiable facts or citations. I don't know, I would maybe skip it. One of you weirdo friends of mine recommended it and I don't remember who, but if it was you, please call me, I want to talk.

I agree with many of the other 3 star reviews. Some good information and advice, but towards the end it gets plain hokey. I found myself skipping paragraphs when it got to the later chapter and the man with a laundry list of ailments healing them all one by one through surrendering.
I also found myself looking for a little more instruction on how to let go that went beyond “surrender. Surrender immediately”.

This book contains the typical questionable claims about cures and miracles, but I do think there is a lot of wisdom.

While I liked the concept of the book I came away with feeling that yes I understand the benefits but HOW does one actually do it? I also found some information to be conflicting. Like all books with these messages there is plenty to take away and thus worthwhile of reading but I thirsted foe something clearer.

i don't know what should i say about this book really, first i can't say i didn't learn alot from it but for sure i hated the word letting go by the end of it, i heard it all through the book but never seen the actual step of how to let go, it wasn't super clear you need to read it more than once i think to register the steps written, i hoped it was written in an easier way, but for sure i have learned alot from it, especially how the energy affects other and how you can read others , and how your energy and your thoughts affect the world around you and your life and how is when you have strong mindset and soul it will affect your surrounding and how when you have low self esteem it will affect the same way, so it was understanble this way, let your energy control your life not the situation or the other around you, so i will have to work on that for sure cz i know for now that my energy is so low at this moment and it is just affecting my surrounding but how to make it higher that i couldn't understand the tactic , how to let it be accept it then let it go , those three words seems easy but the book didn't really explain how to do them , he explained all of the things but not those three words even though they were repeated through the whole book more than a thousand time, cz for me i know this process but how to do it reallyyy , why just repeating easy words without really explaining them, i was so pissed so i guess i need to reread it or just to figure it out myself
last word it wasn't fully understandable but for somehow i learned if i did everything and left everything for god to handle it will work so i guess i will use this method after all
regarding the quotes they will be uploaded later
