What Worked Was Worth It

A lot of the book didn’t work for me. I’d say about only 20% was useful for me. But the 20% was worth it. I dearly need this type of thinking.

Slightly hokey but overall very good

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2007

Verified Purchase

The essence of this book is undeniably very good, very inspiring. Unfortunately I found it somewhat annoying (and patronizing) how the authors chose to show such an extreme negative 'come from' place when making an example of a person's thoughts when they are not living in appreciation, compared to when they are. I think it's more of the dull-grey insidious roar of our negativity that does the damage not the blatant "I'm horrible" stuff. They used the Fox News sensationalism tactics to over emphasize their points. Sort of like I just did!

Nice spiritual/metaphysical oriented self-help

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2005

This book integrates recent research about the power of appreciation with ageless spiritual wisdom about the vibrational dynamics of life and reality. It presents practical ways of using this information to help readers shift their thought patterns and thereby change their vibrational state and what they are attracting into their experience. From the heart coherence research of the Institute of HeartMath to the water crystal photos of Dr. Emoto, the authors make clear how our thoughts create vibrational shifts that transform our external reality. They explain how appreciation can be used to attract positive experiences rather than continuing to maintain thoughts that energize negative experiences. This concept is very valid, but the authors fail to adequately explore how deeply embedded our thought patterns and vibrational patterns can be. For some people it is difficult to develop appreciation in some areas of their lives, as there are strong conflicting patterns in their subconscious levels of mind. It would take intense commitment to override the self-defeating patterns unless steps are taken to access the subconscious and transform or release the negative patterns at that level. Since this is a self-help book, it attempts to present things in a simple, clear way that will generate enthusiasm for readers to apply the concepts and exercises in the book. Unfortunately, by minimizing the complexities of how our thought patterns develop and how life unfolds, this type of approach can lead those who are skeptically inclined to readily give up on or criticize the approach when they don't get rapid results. The only other significant weakness I observed in the book was something very brief in the discussion of how appreciation was applied following terror attacks in America. A reference to appreciation of "steadfastness" of America's leaders was made, which in reality was part of the reaction desired by the orchestrators of the terror, making that instance of appreciation counterproductive to those who wish not to give power and energy to terrorism. In retrospect, a major thing to appreciate about those terror events could be how they fostered a growing awareness of who truly desire to have citizens in states of fear. The appreciation for freedom that the authors discuss has been of much value and instrumental in helping those viewing ongoing events recognize who were most eager to restrict American freedoms after the Trade Center/Pentagon attacks, leading to discovery of who really was involved in orchestrating those events. So despite that one brief flaw the discussion of appreciation in response to crisis in this book is generally quite valuable.

Appreciation is a very important vibrational thought/feeling pattern and this book does a good job of exploring the hows and whys.

Create a Better Life with Appreciation

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2004

One of the biggest stumbling blocks when we set out to make our dreams come true is appreciating what is going well. Most of us have an unfortunate tendency to dwell on problems rather than the good things in our lives... and then we wonder why things just seem to keep getting worse instead of better.

Therapists Noelle Nelson and Jeannine LeMare Calaba explain how you can achieve success in every area of your life through transforming your beliefs in THE POWER OF APPRECIATION. Whereas criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling work to destroy relationships, appreciation can help people feel like they're living in heaven on earth. Nelson and Calaba outline a practical five-step process to make your dreams come true that has proven effective for them with their clients. They also include scientific research and descriptions of individual case histories to help bring their ideas to life, so you can better understand how to harness the power of appreciation in your life. The five steps are: choosing what you desire, determining the feelings behind your desire, weeding out conflicting thoughts and beliefs, launching your vibration of appreciation, and working your appreciation.

THE POWER OF APPRECIATION really hits its stride when it examines how appreciation can transform the relationships in our lives. Every relationship at work, at home, and with friends can prosper when one applies its five-step process for developing an appreciative mindset. I highly recommend this book for anyone genuinely interested in creating a better life!

WOW, It Works!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2003

Appreciation is a tool we all have at our disposal and it is even FREE! Nelson and Calaba teach us how to work the Power of Appreciation to build a more rewarding life.
This book is clear and easy to read. It starts with a basic scientific explanation of how the Power of Appreciation actually works, and then walks you through the steps of applying the Power of Appreciation to your life.
I was so full of energy while reading this book. Since I have adopted this new understanding and new way of focusing my attention, I can see the effects unfolding in my life and it is truly shocking at times. My financial situation has improved dramatically, and so have my relationships with the people close to me- especially those I work with. These improvements are the exact desires I set forth with when I started learning this material!
I am so happy to have found this book, I want everyone to know how valuable it is. No matter what comes up in my life, I feel powerful now, because I know I have the ability to change things. Personally, besides all of the great improvements I am enjoying in my life, I think the best part of all is how much FUN it is to see what I can do with nothing but my own focus! I find myself imagining the changes we could make by working the Power of Appreciation in groups!

APPRECIATION IS THE KEY TO HAPPINESS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Whilst not always an easy objective, changing our perspective about a negative circumstance or a person can turn an otherwise challenging situation into a more positive experience, creating a more positive emotional state. Appreciation is much more than a feel-good emotion. It can transform our relationships, work-lives, in fact, any area of our lives. A very powerful book that is a joy to read.
