Editorial Reviews

Review

At last a book with a vision! The Vision Board by Joyce Schwarz is so compelling in both message and imagery it deserves NOT a spot on your bookshelf or coffee table, heck... bring the hook and wire, I'm hanging this book on my wall! (Dan HollingsInternet & Mobile Marketing Strategist, Internet Strategist behind "The Secret" movieDan HollingsInternet & Mobile Marketing Strategist, Internet Strategist behind "The Secret" movieDan Hollings, Internet and Mobile Marketing Strategis )

Vision boards are an example of one of the key and fundamental practices in ancient Hawaiian Huna that was a part of focus on creating a positive future. Joyce has captured the essence of this in a clear and concise approach to modern thinking. (Dr. Matthew B. James, Huna Teacher and Lecturer, huna.com )

Visioning has become a lost art for many. Joyce Schwarz's book is a profound re-entry into the ancient process of seeing the mystery before it happens. A great read. (Lynn V. Andrews, Leader in the Field of Spirituality and Personal Development and Author of the Best Selling Medicine Woman Series )

If living the good life is an art---and I believe that it is---Joyce Schwarz has painted a map of how we all can transform our lives into masterpieces. (Pablo Solomon, Artist and Sculptor )

Joyce's book proves that dreaming the impossible dream and then making it happen is not impossible. (Ben Mandel, Producer of The New Home Show on PBS )

Joyce Schwarz is an imaginative writer that imparts a clear vision. This book as an entertaining easy read that makes an airplane trip pass in the wink of an eye. Joyce has made a significant contribution in the media and entertainment business. Read it.you will enjoy it. (Dr. Bernard Luskin, CEO of Touro University Worldwide and Author of Casting the Net Over Global Learning. )

Beautiful and Inspiring Book November 1, 2008
Format:Hardcover
Joyce Schwarz's visually beautiful and inspiring book reminds readers of a key life lesson. As she says in the introduction, "Your time is now."

She shows her readers how to take the bull by the horns and take hold of their own destinies by offering moving stories of people (and families!) who have used vision boards to improve their lives.

For those of us who have never engaged in this type of work, Ms. Schwarz offers step-by-step instructions that not only help readers know what to DO, but also make the concept of the Law of Attraction understandable and attainable to even the most skeptical of audiences.

By offering her own framework to help the reader engage in this work (GRABS), which stands for Gratitude, Release and Receive, Acknowledge and Ask, Be and Believe and Share, the author helps readers really understand their roles in what she calls their own "quantum leap." She literally offers readers a "passport to possibility" by describing how to get started both from a spiritual perspective (offering accounts of personal stories, sound advice and tips for expressing gratitude) AND from a practical perspective (even suggesting what type of adhesive to use).

One of my favorite things about this book was that it leads the reader to understand and agree with the premise without seeming preachy or "out there." For example, who can't understand the value of stopping during the day for a short walk or a coloring break with kids? Ms. Schwarz offers these as examples of ways to "say thanks for your body and the power of your mind."

Having read The Vision Board, I suggested that my business mastermind group work on our own vision board projects to help us solidify our goals and propel our plans forward. I plan to incorporate Joyce's ideas when I work with my job-seeking clients as well. I'm so glad that I found Joyce Schwarz's book at just the right time! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to jump-start his or her plans, even if you aren't already a believer in the Law of Attraction!

Format:Hardcover
I've spent a lot of time on the road in my life, traversing continents, traveling up river and down, collecting memories, dreams and goals along the way. It wasn't until I put together a vision board that I started seeing my dream of becoming an internationally bestselling romance author come true. Over the years I've pasted pictures and mementos from Paris (Naughty Paris) Japan (The Blonde Geisha), the Near East (Spies, Lies & Naked Thighs), late 1930s and WWII (Cleopatra's Perfume April 2009)--it's all there on my vision board. But that's not the end of my story, only the beginning...

Having a vision board is like nurturing a relationship--you have to pay attention to it to make it work. Add to it, change it around, but keep it focused. Using the techniques in Joyce's book, I found I'm able to put my goals in a more direct line to get to the next step in my career instead of meandering along that road.

I make changes on my Vision Board on a regular basis, rearrange pictures, add quotes, take down a flyer or note that's no longer relevant to my vision (e.g., I removed Civil War re-enactment photos I had taken when I realized I was going in a different direction with my writing; that doesn't mean I won't go back to that Civil War story someday, just not now).

We all have doubts whether or not we're "doing it right." To me, the most important part of having a vision board is evoking that emotional response in you that helps you keep going even when you have doubts. It's like a favorite piece of music that lifts you up and out of your world every time you hear it. You look forward to hearing it, moving with it, humming along. A good vision board is like that. I've found Joyce's book is the best way not only to get your vision board started, but to keep it going.

Something For Everyone! November 5, 2008
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Joyce Schwarz's The Vision Book is terrific, and offers something for everyone. If you consider yourself artistically impaired, she gently walks you through the process of first visioning, and then articulating that vision with words and images to bring that vision alive in your life. If you have an artistic eye, you will be inspired by the gorgeous vision boards featured throughout the book. If you are methodical and like a step-by-step approach, you'll find that here. Or if you prefer to browse, you can dive in anywhere and come away with value. In addition to samples of vision boards, guidance on creating your own board from A-Z, chapters and exercises for creating vision boards for a variety of purposes, the book is also peppered with profiles of people who have successfully used the visioning process and the results they produced, inspirational quotes from great poets, philosophers, and spiritual leaders, and one-on-one interviews with some of the biggest names in the "new thought" movement. For anyone who is walking a path to lead a conscious life through intentional creation, this book is a must-have.
