Law of Attraction in Action: A Down-to-Earth Guide to Transforming Your Life (No Matter Where You're Starting From)

by Deanna Davis Ph.D.

Overview

An engaging, accessible guide to personal empowerment.

The phenomenal success of The Secret points to the great hunger for answers, hope, and change. But what if books like that seem a little too 'out there' for you? Enter Deanna Davis, whose down-to-earth approach stems from her own change of heart (it happened at the Olive Garden). In this fun, quirky, and decidedly straightforward guide, Deanna shares the science, strategy, and stories of how to create your ideal life using a universal key to success called the Law of Attraction, whether you seek health, wealth, happiness, success, or anything else, large or small.

The book blends cutting-edge research, practical techniques, and a conversational, light, funny tone to make the information both meaningful and memorable. Like a talk by your favorite college professor, it provides brilliant concepts in a downto- earth manner-an uncommon blend of wisdom, creativity, inspiration, and practical strategies that work.

Editorial Reviews

{Deanna} Davis (Living with Intention) uses logic to demonstrate how expectations often precede experience and that being intentional can make dreams a reality. The three steps she advocates for change include choosing one's state, setting one's intention, and taking inspired action. The activities involved in each are as simple as practicing gratitude or as difficult as letting go of negative emotions. Davis writes for the skeptic and lays out a healthy way of being in the world.

From the Publisher

As might be presumed from the titles of these two books, both authors use Rhonda Byrne's phenomenally successful The Secret as a springboard to suggest applications to its theory. Davis (Living with Intention) uses logic to demonstrate how expectations often precede experience and that being intentional can make dreams a reality. The three steps she advocates for change include choosing one's state, setting one's intention, and taking inspired action. The activities involved in each are as simple as practicing gratitude or as difficult as letting go of negative emotions. Davis writes for the skeptic and lays out a healthy way of being in the world.

Ricotti, CEO of a global leadership organization, suggests 11 steps to enjoy freedom and inner peace in every area of life. In a simple, step-a-day format, she helps readers keep goals in mind, let go of the past, and choose friends carefully. Tips include writing a gratitude manifesto, forgiving others, and chasing away inner saboteurs. The beauty of this book is that it's short, simple, and easy to digest. Both titles would make welcome additions to public libraries.
