“The Divine Manual” is a New Age self-help book with a little different twist—the author has explored the various theories, practices, and healing techniques into a framework all his own, based on what he has experienced to work.I liked his brief autobiography at the beginning, which gives you a little insight into his youth and character—he says he always felt like he had a profound purpose and set out young to find it, and eventually realized he was getting signs and nudges that he couldn’t run from his Divine Path forever. Thus “The Divine Manual” is meant to help you reach your own Divine Path, too.The book is nicely organized into concrete and distinct chapters dealing with different subjects, from the law of attraction; the ego, subconscious, and superconscious; karma and past and present life challenges, and how they impact your current existence; meditation; and more. I liked the detail of each entry, and the author’s clear explanations of the more difficult subjects and how they can be applied to improve your own life. It’s well-written, conversational, and enjoyable.If you’re interested in New Age philosophies but aren’t sure where to start, “The Divine Manual” is an excellent summary and explanation of much of it, and you could take what you were most interested in and research further; if you’ve already done quite a bit of exploration on your own, “The Divine Manual” still holds a lot of detail to help you on your path.
