Happier Than God

I had read books 1, 2 [and almost 3 now] of the Conversations with God [CwG] series. I have also watched the film about Neale's life and a couple of DVD's of him. The title is intriguing, and a brilliant hook to interest you in buying. The book fills all the gaps [if you haven't read CwG, you'll know if you do] left by his [God's?] earlier work. It is quite brilliant. It offers explanations that make total sense, and doesn't require you to spend years reading spiritual texts to understand it. Walsch is one our best spiritual teachers. His humility and compassion are combined with incisive writing, and life lessons that all hang together. Given the dialogue he has had/has with God, Happier than God is an opportunity for him to reflect and use his worldly humanity to offer something that resonates and guides from every page. Yes, if you want the best spiritual book around at present, look no further than this.

I bought this book on pure impulse; it nearly jumped off the shelf of the store I was in. I had no idea what it would be about and was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's about the Law of Attraction--PLUS! I've been a student of the LOA for a while now. "Happier Than God" fills in a lot of missing pieces for me. My favorite revelation in the book is that when we work to manifest something positive, we attract both the positive AND the negative--AND WE GET THE NEGATIVE FIRST! This creates a context in which we can experience what we've manifested. Suddenly all the times that I've started a diet and GAINED weight make sense. :) Now I have the understanding to help me be patient and push through to accept success.

I read this book in a day and a half. I just could not put it down. I have been studying the law of attraction and positive thinking for a long time now, but always felt there was a piece of the puzzle missing. Neale Donald Walsch does and excellent job putting it all together and I was finally able to find the piece that was missing. I love the way he explains how the law of attraction works. Of all the books I have read in the subject I have never seen anyone explain it as clear. The author really makes everything make sense. Buy the book, and read it. It is a very profound, very spiritual, to the point book.

This book is amazing. This is my first review and I felt compelled to make sure others found out this book is not to be missed! I was still on the first chapter when I knew this book was a gem. This book is true spirituality, and it's not about how to conjure a dream home, a six-figure income, or an SUV. You can have that, nothing wrong with it, and the book will explain how and why. And that is why this book is sooo good. If you are curious about this book, it is not by chance.

I have to say, the title of this book, "Happier than God," kind of threw me at first. But it was written by Neale Donald Walsch, and I really liked his Conversations with God books, so I thought I'd give the book a chance. I'm glad I did! I still might have used a different title, but the points he makes are very good. He notes that what is missing from all the current talk about the Law of Attraction (due to the success of The Secret) is God. He explains that some people have misinterpreted the Law to mean you should put all your faith in yourself - in other words, you don't need God. All you've got to do is use the power of your thoughts to attract to you whatever you want. In this book, he explains God's role in the process of personal creation. He notes that the ability to create your reality is an expression of God. He says the process really has 3 parts: the first has to do with God, the second has to do with you, and the third with you and God together. He then expounds on how personal creation really works. He also indicates that the law of attraction works most effectively and creates greater happiness when you focus first on helping others and then on yourself. He notes this is true because when you focus on yourself, you limit the amount of energy you send out into the Universe, because there's only one of you. When you focus on others, you multiply the amount of energy you output by the number of others you focus on. And, since we are all connected, you benefit as well as the people you help. He concludes the book by providing 17 steps to being truly happy. A few examples are: - Eliminate any thought of separation from God - Decide that you are not your story - Bypass the drama - Drop all expectations This is a very powerful book that I would recommend to anyone wishing to experience happiness within a spiritual context!
