Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK "The law of attraction is that our thinking creates and brings to us whatever we think about, it's as though every time we think a thought, every time we speak a word, the universe is listening and responding to us." Louise Hay With the rise of the positive thinking and positive psychology movement, many supposed “gurus” have emerged.Napoleon Hill wrote his classic book, Think and Grow Rich, in one of the most difficult times of America’s history (the Depression), and the book is still in circulation today. Other promoters of positive thought run the gamut from Norman Vincent Peale to modern day pastors such as Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, who preaches the new ‘Prosperity Gospel.’ We might ask ourselves, how can optimism hurt?

The pressure is on the person with cancer to radiate positivity because without this positivity, they believe they lower their chances of survival.. Imagine the pressure! Should their health take a turn for the worse, their burden trebles, as they only have themselves to blame, their attitude was not positive enough. There are similarities in the job market, or in those facing mortgage foreclosures. According to the Law of Attraction, summed up in the quote at the beginning of this section, it is your thoughts which determine your future. No matter what circumstances dictate, a mortgage payment that is 133% of your actual income, or downsizing at your corporation, your fate is in your hands. Fate is never capricious...
