The Secret Laws of Attraction
Talane Miedaner
If you don’t need it, you will attract it.
You will attract what you signal to others.
From an initial reading of this book, these comments appeared to be incompatible. Take the time to read this book if you really wish to understand what is being said. So, to clarify the comments - if you truly do enjoy your life (which means you live according to your values), you will attract people. Conversely, if you appear needy, you will only attract needy people, not those who can fulfill your needs. It is a common truth that is described in so many books.
Although it is known that you often have to ask for what you need (sounds so simple, yet is so difficult!), I had a hard time with suggestions such as asking for “love notes” and affirmations. An executive I worked for, on leaving our company, asked people to write positive comments about herself in her “affirmation book”. I thought this was rather silly, but according to this book, she was behaving perfectly rationally and meeting her needs. OK. So maybe it is worth a try. I confess I did not test the program - and there is a program to follow: an extensive quiz to identify your needs, followed by an identification of your core values and how to meet your core needs. Lots of sensible advice, really.
As with self-help books in general, solutions are not as simple as following a few “rules” but if readers find some ideas to assist in their quest for happiness, the information cannot hurt. I do believe the best information in the book is the following:
You are responsible for your own happiness.
