This book seems to be one of those treasures no one's ever heard of - which is too bad because it is essentially a masterpiece that should be in everyone's library. If only Oprah would read it, I'm certain she would be blown away and have Bobbie on her program straight away. Why? Because it's not just a bunch of ideas about manifestation - it is a complete process the author has lived through - as she explains step by step in the most entertaining and complete way I've ever come across. No BS, this is the real deal.

The author clearly explains her entire amazing manesfestation process, how she discovered it, how it worked for her (in miraculous ways), how it has worked for others - and how it can work for you. Now the thing is, and this seems to be the crucial step that is missing from all those Law of Attraction books, the process includes a daily stretching routine (they are actually movements to stimulate endocrine glands) followed by meditation in order to reduce stress to the central nervous system - not unlike Qigong in some respects. By doing this, you effectively open a bridge to your intuition and manisfestation abilities.

Honestly, I've read probably hundreds of books on metaphysics and the like over the past 20 years and I would place this book in the top 5 without hesitation. It is not esoteric at all, it is extremely practical - and thorough. And it's a great read - her story is nothing short of fascinating. I just hope someone stumbles upon this review and decides to purchase the book - because they will be so happy the did.

finally! It's about time someone tells us how to get from point A to point B instead of just saying we can get there! This book is for anyone who realizes that we have more control over our dreams than we think and wants to create thier own dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 + Years Ago, October 4, 2007

This review is from: Unlimited Futures : How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want (Hardcover)

Twenty plus years ago I moved back to Minneapolis after living there for 16 years. Two of my friends were prospering in every area of their lives compared to most of my other friends that were stuck where they were when I left many years before. These two did not know each other, but when I asked how they had accomplished so much since I had left, I found the same answer coming from both - they had gone through the Executive Futures program (now Unlimited Futures). They urged me to call Bobbie Stevens and her husband Dean Portinga and meet with them. Of course I was suspicious, but called them and set up an appointment to meet. With no intention of signing up for anything (I didn't have any money), I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at a beautiful house in the woods, rang the doorbell, and when the door opened be warmly greeted by Dean, a trim, towering man with a smile the width of his face and wearing what I would later come to realize was his daily wardrobe - a sweat suit. Behind him was a huge live tree in the middle of the house. Meeting Bobbie was no different, other than her being about a foot and a half shorter than Dean. She's not short, Dean's just really tall. They talked a little about the program (actually, they wanted to talk more about me). I finally worked up the courage to tell them I didn't have any money to take their course. Dean just laughed and said "sounds like all the more reason to get started. The money part will take care of itself". It did. Now there's a book. I cherish my signed copy. I can only say that, knowing Bobbie and Dean for all these years, this book was not written to make them rich, but out of a decades old desire to help people become all that they can become. There are thousands just like me located in every corner of the world. Many whose names you would recognize. Unfortunately, Bobbie and Dean are a bigger secret than the book and DVD, "The Secret". I didn't need to read it or watch it. From what I've read and heard, it's a small part of the real secret - Bobbie Stevens and Dean Portinga.
