Category Name : Mind, Body & Spirit
Author Name : I Can Make You Rich (Book and CD)
Publisher Name : I absolutely agree, McKenna's writing is fluid and very understandable; his way of seeing things is very practical and down to earth. Also this is true, he gives you a comprehensive view of being rich. I guess if you cut this book in half you would see the name "McKenna" running all the way through it, but that is only an illusion! The problem with this kind of book is that it has to have some sort of input in the form of belief from the reader for the placebo affect to actually work. I disagree with one of the reviews, when they say, "I just can't go along with the concept of getting what you want purely by focussing on wanting it. I'm sure there will be accusations that it's me who has the problem, not him." The part I disagree with is how anyone could accuse the reviewer of not being able to get along with the concept of McKenna believe we are all "wired" the same way. Since we are not all wired the same way then I cannot see how anyone could blame the reviewer for not being able to go along with it. Yes, there are exercises and visualisation techniques, but it all seems old hat and has been done before. Becoming rich probably won't happen by accident, and in the case of some of McKenna's research subjects like Richards Branson it was a case of being around at the right time. I am sure when Mr Branson was selling mail order records from his house boat that he never envisaged in a million years that his status would become what it is today. It just so happened that he was in the right place and at the right time, and voila! Basically, the concept of the book is for you to concentrate on your goals, and to stay focused. Although this is a 300+ page book, it does not have the clout that some lesser page books have that are on the same subject matter. Standing in McKenna's favour is that it is not all about attaining wealth in terms of hard cash, it is about freeing your time up and being able to do what you want with your life, and isn't that the message most of these books have. I agree, Think and Grow Rich: Original Version has the basis of where this book stems from, so if you buy this book thinking you are going to be made rich by virtue of the content then you're going to be very disappointed, because it simply isn't going to happen on the basis of what is within. There are very few books that I have read to date that give you the specific formula for securing wealth, even those books on becoming wealthy from the stock market seem rather outdated. If you are seeking to secure a step by step guide on how to manifest your desires then you would not go far wrong with the Cosmic Ordering Guide: Where Dreams Can Become Reality or The Law of Attraction. Certainly, McKenna's strategies are inspiring and hugely helpful, and no one is knocking his ability as a stage hypnotists, but one wonders where his real motives stem from, especially when he has written all manner and form of self-help books that has an endless queue of buyers. No one can deny that McKenna has made himself rich from selling the idea that opportunity is just around the proverbial corner, and good luck in his approach. With regards the CD accompanying this book, it is what can typically be described as mundane and basic. The concept of influencing the listener by various methods is used well, and McKenna's voice comes across well, but that is all I can give as a review. Perhaps for some this will work wonders, as we are influenced in different ways, so I apologise if this comes across as anti-McKenna as I am not, I quite like the man but in the TV vehicle he once was king of, not in book form, sorry.
