Give your request to your "Inner CEO", or higher self, and go your merry way. That is the gist of the book. That is not a method that has ever brought me any sort of results. I was very diappointed. This book is very similar to I Am Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams, another disappointment.
The author makes a big deal out of how other methods of achievement, such as using visualization, affirmations,the law of atrraction, making plans and taking action, do not work all of the time for all people. (He describes 10 ways in all). The author actually makes it seem like they never work and therefore you should not waste your time with any of them. Certainly, it is true that results are not always forthcoming. However, this book also says that when using the 11th Element you are only making "requests" to you Inner Ceo and that they may not be fulfilled. But apparently that is ok. Scheinfeld seems to be saying to not waste time with any other method that does not work, and instead buy his book and use the 11th Element which may not work either. [...]

It is really funny and you see it again and again with self help books: people review the book, praise or pan it, but never ever tell you if they used it or it worked for them.

Robert Scheinfeld has two books out and a fairly expensive "on line course" that is more advanced. I have only used the books.

I used the 11th element book.

His other book, which I own, is the same thing, BUT the topics of the sample letters in the books are different. The 11th Element is about making money, paying debt, getting jobs and the other book is more about personal growth. But the way you make requests is the same, so once you get the format down, you are fine.

So I would say, buy one book and use it. If it works, buy the other book because seeing sample request in the area you wish to work on helps.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In essense he has you write a letter to your Higher Self or "Inner CEO" or subconsious (SC).

I think ONE of the reasons it works is because unlike other books, he educates your SC how to help bring things about (unlike another school of thought which says that your SC or higher self knows all and can get all).

Though not highlighted, that is what is NEW in this book, IMO.

Using the book, which is really about manifesting your hearts desire and I got a number of things: Women, women, creative concepts, jobs, and a series of outcomes that I asked for.

For Scheinfeld, when you ask: you must be clear and if you do not get your desire answered (having been clear and used his form letter for requests), it was answered anway because you make the request to your inner CEO for what you want, "or even something better". So something not happening, he would say, is for the best.

Some may not like this answer and I find it very limiting. But what I listed above was stuff I did ask for in a very specific way that came to be.

I gave the book to a friend, and she got wealth and reduced gliches in her life.

Reading the book, by the way, is the MOST work you will have to do with his system. So you have to wonder about the reviewers who read the book but did not follow up.

Here is what I did: I set up an e-mail for my inner-CEO. Each request I wrote was a simple, because I cut and pasted out of previous letters some of the standard language I had used before in other manifestation requests.

I was really excited about getting this book, after reading all the reviews. It appeared as if there was something new out there. Then I read it and I am truly disappointed. It really is more of the same. I have read these concepts over and over, time and time again in various books and in the varying schools of metaphysical teachings. Yes sometimes they work, yes sometimes they don't, even here with Bob's concepts, they still don't work some of the time, so what's new???
The concepts seem to have been honed from varying resources, some which were very recognizeable,..especially the give me this or something better.
I also was bothered by the author pointing one to watch the truman show and other outside materials for a better concept of what his book was supposed to be aimed at explaining to you. His grasp of the inner ceo also was very one dimentional, and I never did get a good feel for that. One would think if the book is based on working with your inner "ceo", (better known to most who have been around the block, your higher self, or subconscious) and working the network,(better known as Jung's collective unconscious) you would first need a good feel for the inner "ceo" to begin with, I felt the author fell really flat there.
I gave it one star for one reason, I had no other choice, and I suppose it is worthy of one star as there are some people, obviously from the reviews, that just haven't been exposed to the metaphysical concepts of life. All in all I suppose it is just another book, with another secret method, that if followed diligently step by step, you will succeed at manifesting your desires.....SOME of the time!!!

Bob Scheinfeld outlines an interesting and intelligent approach to the application of a universal spiritual principle in a secular context, namely how to build and benefit from a relationship with your Higher Self - or "your Inner CEO" as Bob puts it.

The strength of this material lies firstly in its language and style of presentation which successfully avoids any religious or "new-age" jargon, and secondly in its structured and systematic approach as to how to apply this principle.

My main criticism of this book is that it is positioned as the missing or secret factor that is required to achieve wealth and success. But, as Bob tells us on p185, "becoming successful in business or becoming wealthy may not be part of your mission or life purpose."

Throughout the book Bob stresses the critical importance of your "mission or life purpose" as the ultimate determining factor as to whether (or when) wealth and success will be achieved.

It would be more accurate and truthful (and ultimately more helpful to the majority of people who may not be destined for great wealth and material success) if the primary focus of the book was on how to establish and fulfill your personal "mission or life purpose". But perhaps that angle wouldn't sell as well...

However, I do recommend this book. Follow the steps and processes that are so clearly outlined and then use them to discover and fulfil your mission or purpose in life - which may or may not include wealth and material success!

Read and excerpt of this book and you have read the whole thing. It basically tells you to hit yourself in the head to make your sub conscious wake up and do something for you. Very limited on subject matter and useful tactics for improvements. We were going to read this as a discussion book for a mastermind group and decided it wasn't worth discussing.

Heard the CD version of THE 11TH
ELEMENT--written and read by Bob Scheinfeld.

Scheinfeld, whose grandfather used this principle to build Manpower
from a simple idea into a Fortune 500 company, shows you
how to tap into getting help whenever and wherever you need
it . . . the key is to know where and how to access it.

Doing so will enable you to become successful, not only
from a financial standpoint . . . but also with respect to making
right decisions, securing cooperation from colleagues and
employees, and achieving more in life with less stress.

Though the concept sounds abstract, it becomes clearer
when you listen to the informative CDs . . . Scheinfeld
used it to create millions of dollars for himself, then for
select clients and proteges across multiple industries . . . in
addition, he showed how it has been used to create
such international successful stories as Nike, Starbucks
and Virgin Atlantic.

There were many useful ideas I gained from listening to
THE 11TH ELEMENT; among them:

* Avoid the suntan or sunburn effect. That happens when you
get all pumped up, but then you go back to your office and
there's no long term effect.

* You can get help on the Internet if you ask the right question.

* Always ask for help for everything you want. Otherwise, nothing
will move in your world.

* Be specific in your requests.

* To cut through the noise, every time you need help, tap between
your eyebrows three times.

* Watch THE TRUMAN SHOW [the movie) to see a version of
how this principle works.

Bob Scheinfeld puts the onus in its proper place. You can guide your success! He teaches the reader how to tap into the infinite and gain your inner longings, with the help of a concourse of invisible possibility makers, to align yourself for success.

The 11th Element uses ancient, time-proven wisdom but advances it by teaching you what he discovered based on an unfinished converstation with his grandfather. He then expands that conversation with research and his own methods of testing into a forward reaching formula that teaches you the secret.

Scheinfeld teaches you how to make a request. Other success thinkers don't go this far. He does. He shows you in clear form how to formulate a request, how to clear negativity, and how to recognize when you need to amend what you thought you wanted.

Buy The 11th Element. Study the book, inculcate the content, and apply the formula. The secret has been unlocked!

I admit I'm a skeptic ... but I read The 11th Element with an open mind. This book is easy to read and I found that my skepticism slipped away as simple ways to tackle problems in business were revealed. I followed Bob Scheinfeld's template to craft a request for help for something simple. It was answered in a few days!! So, I followed the same template, asking for help in something harder. This time, the answer came in a slightly longer period, but it was still answered! I consider this a must read for anyone looking to achieve wealth and success, fuel the growth of their business, and enjoy the pleasures of life.

I read this book quite some time ago and it's one of the handful of books I've continued to use routinely. The methods that are taught are very helpful for people who tend to be visual, like myself.

In fact, the one "problem" I seemed to have with prayer, was that I couldn't see it - there was nothing tangible to keep my eye on. But I noticed that once I began using the system outlined by Robert Schienfeld in this book, I feel much more confident in what I ask the Universe to help me with and much of what I've requested - whether significant or minuscule has come to pass. For me, it has been like prayer on overdrive.

I created a simple template in Word that I fill out every time I have a request and put it into a binder. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly works well for me.

The best advice I can give is to try the book for yourself and see what happens.

Same old stuff from the '80s, just shrewdly packaged and marketed. I agree with the reviewer that said "Didn't we used to call this prayer?" My sentiments exactly!
