 Rehashing old ideas Sep 16, 2009
As another reviewer said, Canfield is simply recycling other peoples' words. Nothing original. There's another take on the man behind this glitzy self-help cult. Read Canfield's (abandonded) son Oran's book, *Long Past Stopping: A Memoir*. You might learn something.

 Concise and gets results Sep 13, 2009
If you're like me and you've been studying the law of attraction for the past few years, you already get the gist of the what it is all about. The thing is, sometimes you need a book or two at hand for the times when you are losing patience or faith. This book by Jack Canfield is a good resource to refer back to when you need some reminders on manifesting to help get you back on path.
No, the book doesn't teach anything new, but there are other, more in depth books that do that.
Another short, but powerful book I also recommend is The Rich Switch - The Simple 3-Step System to Turn on Instant Wealth Using the Law of Attraction.

The key. Sep 04, 2009
This is one of those law of attraction books like the Secret. I liked it very much, mainly because the ideas aren't out there, metaphyscial. I also like the author's easy writing style. The book was fun and useful. I also liked Life Lessons for Mastering the Law of Attraction: 7 Essential Ingredients for Living a Prosperous Life.

 Simple, Concise, Easy to read Jul 14, 2009
This book is a great introduction to the law of attraction. Canfield explains the basic concept, and he gives you ways to analyze your life and find out what your goals are.
I'm not crazy about the Affirmations, but the concept of understanding your goals and repeating them out loud as if you've already completed them is a great tool.
After reading this book I've started a Gratitude Journal that I write in every night. I would recommend this to everyone, whether you buy the book or not, because it can be easy to fall into a negative thought spiral and to forget about all the love and good things in your life.
One thing I didn't like about the book was the marketing of "Vision Book collections". If you're going to have a vision book, in my opinion you should creatively make it yourself, not buy one.
Overall it was a fast read with great concepts and a very positive outlook on life.

 Key: Good, Bad, and Ugly Jul 01, 2009
Good: Canfield's thoughts on the Law of Atraction(LOA)are concise and clear. The steps to take are simple to understand and follow. He does a good job of letting the reader know we are all in this together. It is important to better you and take in consideration everyone else. The book is small, which is good for this subject. It is a simple concept. All the words have purpose.
Bad: Part of the LOA is thinking positive. Canfield makes a point of changing how you think by removing the No's and Not's out of what you say. For example: Instead of thinking "I don't want to be Late," think "I want to be on time." The problem is the whole book is using phrases with No's and Not's and making points using No's and Not's. If we are supposed to be thinking positive, then why is the book riddled with negative words, which took negative thought to come up with. Those negative ways of expressing your point is then transferred to the reader.
Ugly: I look at life with an open mind. Once I get information I then question it. For me it is important to be able to verify what is being said by personal experience or verifiable fact. Many statements are said that I am unable to do either of those things. For example, Canfield writes that the subconscious mind has impulses that travel at over 100,000 mph. Where did that information come from? What study found that as fact? How can you verify it's the subconscious mind over the conscious mind? Canfield gives little ability to verify that and other statements that is expected of the reader to accept as true.
Out of the five LOA books I have read, I would put this at #4 of being the most useful. The #2 book on my list, Losier's "The Law of Attraction" does a much better job of formulating the information in a work book manner. The #1 book, Meijer Bjorn's "The Secret of Life: Right Under Your Nose," presents the LOA information clearly and I have the ability to verify what is being said. It also answers the questions I have of other universal "Laws" that create our experience. I would recommend both, especially Bjorn's, over Canfield's "Key."
