Content summary
A touchy-feely exploration of the Law of Attraction. You really have to get past the 'what the...?' reaction when you learn that the material from Abraham-Hicks is developed from the channelling of non-physical beings through Esther Hicks. That's right, non-physical beings tell messages through Esther Hicks, a former secretary. Like I said, "what the...?'

However, if you are student of the Law of Attraction and quantum physics, then you know this is possible. Since we are all energy, and energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely changes form, it stands to reason that non-physical energy beings can communicate. So why don't we all tune in to Abraham? We have less developed consciousness, or are not yet aware of our own divinity.

The book also has a tone of practical manifestation strategies that are easy to implement and highly effective.

Useful content rating
I lapped it all up, with the intention of suspending disbelief about the channelling spirits part. Having done this, it was an uplifting and impactful read. I also found myself looking up the Abraham-Hicks website to find out more. They have lots of good free audio and other info at the site. Good.

Long-term impact of the material
The exercises are well-organised and easy to read and so make a useful reference. The Abraham-Hicks material is a definite winner for all Law of Attraction enthusiasts and you will definitely benefit from having this in your library. Excellent.

Readability, formatting, and language
The language is stilted and awkward at time, making it difficult to really savour the book. It does give the impression of 'other wordly' spirits speaking because it is pretty wacky in parts, but this is more of a distraction than anything else. They even preface the book by saying there are some made up words and expressions as there are no words that truly reflect the concepts Abraham is trying to convey. Even so, I found the stilted English irritating and it cost the book rating a star in my opinion. Poor.
