can't tell you how wonderful this book was! It helped me see how I was rejecting all the gifts I am in fact, always surrounded by but just couldn't see because I didn't know how. It wasn't about what was outside of me, I just needed to learn how to change my perception. I am astounded by how much abundance is coming my way, now that I can see it. Thanks Laura Doyle, you are great!

This book literally leaped its way into my hands because I see it over and over and over again: people have not learned how to receive well - and tend to get really caught up in an "unworthiness" trap which blocks all sorts of wonderfulness to circulate to them AND from them.

An unwillingness to receive BLOCKS people who WANT to give: even such simple gifts like a compliment or a simple act of service. Doyle gently teaches the readers how to get over this hurdle of "secretly believing we would only succeed by suffering."

She sends a newsflash: "The difference between people who achieved billionaire status and mere millionaire status is that the billionaires LOVE what they do".

This topic is critically important for all, men and women alike and across faiths. I didn't pick this up because I was a fan of Doyle's, although I can see she likes to be controversial from the other titles she has written.

I am grateful to see this topic is being addressed: may we give and receive bountifully starting with the simple lessons contained here. Being willing to gracefully receive WILL pave the way to success. It is as simple as that.

This book sends a wonderful message describing the importance of gracefully receiving for those of us who feel guilty receiving gifts, relaxing, or taking a break from life. It helps the reader understand the psychology of giving too much and reciving too little. This is a great framework, but the writing is average or below. It is distractingly oversimplified and repetitive. I have to restrain myself from editing it as I read.

When you do too much and aren't used to being the receipient of good things, you only enjoy so much of life. Balance is key and although cliche ... very important. Being receptive to life is about recieving what it has to offer. A great book to start balancing out the affairs of the heart for a healthy give and take approach to love.

I was looking for a book about how to surrender to the Universe, this book isn't it. It's about one woman's challenges. If you are a control freak who can't receive a gift without feeling like you need to reciprocate immediately, perhaps this book is for you. I don't think it applies to most people though.

A friend recommended this book to me, saying that men too could benefit from reading it.

Wrong (in my opinion). I didn't get very far into this book, for the simple reason that there's nothing new here. It's trite and unoriginal; a copy of a copy of a copy of every self-help book you've ever read.
