The author is considered a great thinker, so I feel a little uneasy about my review. I will be painfully honest –I have a problem in that I seem to always look at the negative side of situations. I find myself ready to “fix” instead of feeling at ease. I encountered this book to help me change that habit. What I found was that every paragraph in this book seemed to have the same message. The message is “we as people are a product of our thoughts.” I knew that the core of the book was that a positive attitude leads to a better life.

Unfortunately the book did not inspire me at all. As a matter of fact, I found myself looking to myself for the help I needed. If I (my thinking) am part of the problem how can looking into me be the answer? Let me add the fact that I am a Christian. I was looking for something to help me look beyond myself and to a loving Creator for assistance. I simply found an uninspired early “New Age”-message book. Based on my experience I cannot recommend it.
