Jack Canfield’s Key To Living the Law of Attraction

March 18, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Ever since the movie “The Secret” came out everyone has been buzzing about the Law of Attraction and numerous books have been written on the subject.  Everyone seems to want to cash in on the phenomenon.

   In this vane I was walking through our local Costco the other week checking out the book table and found a little tome written by Jack Canfield on the subject.  It is a quick read  but quite concise and describes how to live the Attraction Law much better than most.  So I would recommend grabbing a copy.  (As an aside here Costco has a very good book buyer and frankly my yearly savings alone on books are worth the price of the card.) 

One however gets the sense that one of the primary purposes of the book is to get you to Jack’s  website to purchase his tools for working with the Law of Attraction which of course are priced a bit steeply and totally unnecessary.  You can just go to Homesense or even Wal Mart and pick up a couple of Journals for $5.-$6.00 a piece to create your vision book and your gratitude journal.“

  Working with the gratitude journal and vision board or vision book will also be included in my new course on  Vision, Values and Achieving Your Goals which will be available on this site in a few weeks time so watch out for them.

Eat Pray Love

March 9, 2008

A highly recommended Oprah book that all my friends are raving about… Divided into three sections.. The writer lives in Italy for several months after an unpleasant divorce, to learn how to eat.  Then in India to learn how to pray.  Lastly she winds up in Bali, ostensibly to learn how to love.

Curious book… I found this writer rather winey and weak willed. The book picked up speed for me when she finally arrives in Bali.  The 3rd part I thoroughly enjoyed.  The first 2 were rather over the top with pettines wining and complaining. 

Lots of cultural interest here so still worth the read.  I give it a 3 stars out of five.
