This book is not just about creating the life you "want," it's about healing ourselves and allowing ourselves to heal in order for the Universe/God/The Creator to come into our lives and work through us. Louise has been a beautiful inspiration for millions of people, and I can see why, I've met her in person and she is overwhelming with love at the young age of 85. Her belief in herself as well as humanity to heal themselves past their spiritual and mental limitations in order to create a better life and world is absolutely inspiring. I wish this book was mandatory reading in schools, it is truly the best book I have ever had the pleasure of pulling off the shelf in the library, and the best investment I've ever made into my own health. This book was life changing for me, and started me on a path that led me to other wonderful authors all under Louise's label Hay House Publishing, such as Doreen Virtue, Wayne Dyer and Cheryl Richardson. Do not discount this book and put it into the same category as "The Secret" - The Secret barely touched on the power of our mind and our emotions; this book is how we can heal our emotional hurts, our constant cycles of pain and suffering in order to live the life we were MEANT to live - which may not necessarily be the one we "want," but it may be 10 times better!

Written well before 'The secret'. Another book about life and creating a life that you want.
