Review: Dumb, Misleading, and Illiterate

I've been reading about manifesting since I found an odd little book in a Salvation Army store in the late 1960s.  And I've read them all.  I've listened to the tape sets, watched the CDs, ad nauseum.  I've done the same with goal-setting, which has always worked well for me.  But Santo bounces between manifesting and goal-setting, and they're mutually exclusive!  With manifesting, you set your intention, get rid of limiting beliefs, bring in positive beliefs, and send it out to the Universe.  Then you follow up with affirmations, visualizations, etc.  With manifesting, you are releasing and trusting.On the other hand, goal-setting is self-oriented.  You write down your goals, give them an end date, figure out the steps you need to succeed, and check in on your progress regularly.  The two are mutually exclusive!For those who want to manifest, whether they are novices or have been trying (probably with mixed results), I suggest the best book out there on the subject.  It costs ninety-nine cents.  The title is The Attraction Blueprint, and it's written by James Weaver.  Since my husband and I have been using the straightforward method, things have changed remarkably.I don't know how or why so many five-star reviews are posted regarding Santo's book.  It's cr*p.  Seriously.  It is easily the worst of the dozens (and dozens and dozens) of books I've read on attraction and similar subjects.  And if Santo doesn't get an editor, people are going to start writing humorous, sarcastic reviews about how illiterate the "author" is, like they do with another book I won't name here.This book is so bad I've already returned it.  Sure it's cheap.  But Santo isn't going to get both my money and my time.
