5.0 out of 5 stars I love affirmations, April 6, 2004

By 

T West - See all my reviews

This review is from: Change Almost Anything in 21 Days (Paperback)

I've read many books on how affirmations work. I picked up this one to see what it had to say. To my surprise the book is loaded with all kinds of affirmations to get you through all walks of life. It explains why they work,and why it takes 21 days to sink in the sub-concious. Well I never tried affirmations before so I gave it a shot on this one. Well I must say I started two and I am at about the 21 day mark and they seem to be working. So if you stay positive focused and motivated this should work. If you go into it with an attitude that this is garbage but I will try it you probally wont get anywhere. I am happy to say I have seen some changes in my life from the affirmations. Thanks Ruth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Guidebook to Change through Affirmation + Action, February 20, 2004

This review is from: Change Almost Anything in 21 Days (Paperback)

Ruth Fishel packs a lot of power into this small, simple book.

The first 67 pages deal with Personal Growth basics: setting intentions, how to word an affirmation powerfully. The language is simple and instruction is right on the mark without too much embellishment. Fishel does not talk down to the reader, however, which may have been a challenge for a less able author.

The most powerful tool deal with the power of words and "Negative Word Blocks" and "Positive Word Releasers." Very practical and easily applied to life to make the reader's life better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ruth Fishel's done it again!, November 19, 2001

By 

Leslie Fabian (Hopkinton, Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Change Almost Anything in 21 Days (Paperback)

My life will never be the same, and it's thanks--in large part--to Ruth Fishel's brilliant guidance. This latest book is another of Ruth's inspired "how-to" guides in the personal growth department. It contains not only the basics to creating life-changing positive affirmations, but instructs the reader in the power of words and "self-talk," in how to stay in the present moment, in what works and doesn't work and even when NOT to consider changing oneself! AND, would you believe there are 400 incredible sample affirmations which can be used, as-is, or personalized?! This book WILL change people's lives, if they follow Ruth's incredible suggestions and commit to the steps she suggests. Guidelines for becoming the woman I've always wanted to be have never been more clearly and concisely presented. Buy this book and get started RIGHT AWAY! (And, thank you, dear Ruth!)
