5.0 out of 5 stars There is power behind this book! July 20, 2008
Format:Kindle Edition
Before I get into discussing this book I would like to tell a bit of a personal story relating to this book. It is a story that hopefully might even make the book even more interesting to prospective readers. To relate this story to you will make my review a good bit longer than normal, but please bear with me because this story really does have to do with what's in this book...

Last year I watched the international phenomenon, The Secret, which has swept the globe with its message: "Everything that you have, make or do happens because of your thoughts. Everything that happens to you, whether you wanted it to happen or not, was attracted to you by your subconscious mind. This is known as the Law of Attraction. If you want to have a better life, use the Law of Attraction to your benefit."

What The Secret was putting out there was that we are responsible for our own conditions but we need to align what we want in life with our subconscious before we can truly change.

I took this in as positive thinking, as a "philosophy", so to speak but I decided to give the Law of Attraction a try. But after putting a small amount of effort into its practice by trying to manifest some small things - a second trip to Egypt in the same year, an interview in a newspaper, etc., I found the Law of Attraction to be rather true in my life. Thus with no more guidance than the information in that film I started experimenting with one of my businesses last year, a business that hadn't been faring too well in the recent past. To my joy this business turned around and doubled in size within ten months. I then used the same principles to find my sweetheart and in a matter of weeks I found a wonderful girl, just as I had imagined her to be even before I knew her.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Missing Ingredient For "Attracting" Success May 26, 2008
Format:Hardcover
"The Answer" cost me a night's sleep.I picked it up to read after tucking the kids in at 9 and finished it at 1:30 and then was excitedly journaling and mapping out plans the rest of the night.

It's nothing short of amazing! Great philosophy is all well and good. But, when you can take what seems to be an ethereal subject matter like the law of attraction and lay out a real system of application and on top of that actually weave in PRACTICAL ACTIONS one can take to ensure we're "doing our part" to set ourselves up for receiving in business - that's just downright LIFE-CHANGING!!!!

To me, "The Answer" is the missing ingredient that brings the principles of "The Secret" to concrete fruition! The authors have given such a complete plan of both the mental and physical actions one must take to achieve success, that literally ANYONE armed with desire and enough determination to stick to it can and will see their dreams come to life! I am excited to share this great treasure with family, friends, my readers, audiences, coach clients ... everyone I know or come in contact with. It's THAT good!"

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring balance of theoretical and practical June 9, 2008
Format:Hardcover
As a small-business owner, I was drawn to the title of this book like metal to a magnet. The Answer! The subhead reads: Grow any business, achieve financial freedom, and live an extraordinary life. That's quite a promise. I give this book five stars because of how it delivers on that promise; with a blending of philosophy on how to think more successfully with practical approaches on how to implement that success. It's not just theory, but rather a mix of metaphysical and step-by-step instructions bringing it all down to earth.

"Thought is the most powerful force in the universe." This inspiring idea forms the basis for the theories in this book. The Answer gives you tools to harness your thoughts and turn them into your dreams.

Here's the chapter list:

2. The Search for How the World Works

5.0 out of 5 stars The Answers to Making Money in Your Business May 27, 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a self-help author myself, I read over 100 books a year on success, happiness, and making money. I have taught Financial Stress Reduction Workshops for the past 18 years, and I am intimately familiar with the problems business owners encounter while trying to create and build their businesses from scratch. It takes a lot to impress me these days, but I have to say this new book by John Assaraf is one of the best I've ever read. A featured teacher in "The Secret", he and his co-author Murray Smith have built 17 multimillion-dollar companies in the last 20 years. They know "The Secret" of making money in your business, and their new book gives you not just "The Answer" but many answers to the questions business people have in their minds, number one of which is "How am I going to make money in my business?"

They outline the quantum physics in a way that is completely understandable (did you know that Hungarian author and philosopher of science Ervin Laszlo calls the field that underlies and connects all things the "A-Field" in homage to the Akashic Records?), and I loved this description of the building blocks of our physical reality: "...once you look deep within the heart of atoms, these `indivisible particles' are not at all like the neat little miniature solar systems of billiard balls everyone had expected, but were something far messier: They were something like tiny packets of possibility." Your atoms are made of possibility! But they are completely practical in their exhortation to apply the Law of Action as well as the Law of Attraction: "Because if all you do is sit around and visualize, the men in the overalls with the big trucks will come and take away your furniture." How true! And it made me chuckle at the same time.
