When I saw this book I remember thinking 'yes finally'. I had readHow To Attract Men: Sensible Ideas That Gets Men Stick To You Like Magnetsthinking that it was what I really wanted but the book was focused in attracting the opposite sex and I wanted to go a little broader.All that life has to offer does not end with finding the right mate. There is much more to life than that type of happiness. I wanted to get everything out of life but I did not know just how to accomplish that. Achieving all that you set out to achieve is not as simple as just saying your dreams out loud and waiting for everything to just fall in your lap. You have to go out there and find yourself on that ever winding path to success.I was never one to believe in mantras, heck, I tried meditating once for five minutes and was barely able to make it through such a short period of silence to achieve the healing benefits. I was one of those people who thought that every thing that I wanted out of like should just be handed to me. I did not want to put in the work to get the results.The older I got the more I realized that if I do not work for the things I want, I would never achieve them.  I liked the simplicity of this book. It reminded me of the fact that when we over think things we make them more complicated than they really are.The message in this book is clear and acknowledges the fact that there is a higher power out there that is truly in charge of our destiny. The book has a very strong spiritual message that may not be so easy to swallow for those who cannot accept the "God" factor in life.I have seen from experience that those who have something to believe in have an easier time finding comfort when things go wrong. Prayer can never harm a situation and meditation brings a peace of mind like no other act.  Taking 20 minutes out of your day to devote to prayer is a lot simpler than some of the different methods proposed by others. We spend a lot more time than that doing things that will never benefit us in the future.My only qualm with this book is that it needed a little editing to get the grammar right. There were a lot of typographical errors consistent with draft work. With these errors fixed, I think a lot of people can find inspiration they need to go out and start getting, in the 24 pages of this book.
