How to Get What You Want and Want What You Have audiobook

Good book again reminded me of our Islam to appreciate everything we have. Loved that each page has the most important sentence highlighted so it reminds the reader of its importance. It's completed my read to the book "The Secret".

This is a fabulous book for people that found themselves wanting more after reading Rhonda Byrnes "The Secret". John Gray teaches the reader how to be true to himself in order to achieve personal happiness.

This book offers clear and concise guidance into how many of our blockages can be cleared.As human beings we get blocked and emptied at different stages of our lives. be it in childhood teen years or in relationships, we all ge hurt at some stage. In this book John Gray opens the mind body and spirit to the various options available to us, in order to create a balance in our lives and become healthy again.Fear , trust, forgiveness and most of all unconditional LOVE are dealt with in a compassionate way.After reading this book it prepared me for a major life changing experience, that rocked me to my very core.This book simply allows you to learn the art of living in harmony, and balance. Realising the more you let go ---the more you attract in a better way.Even if you only read one chapter you will feel more in tune with your self. One of the best Self Help books I have read ever. Thank you John for your inspiration.

I'm doing the #READ100 a day challenge that Richard Denney mentioned about on his YouTube channel. It really is helping me get more reading done. I've read this book in three days and usually it takes me longer to read a book than that. This book was really easy for me to fly through though. It was understandable yet also very descriptive in the purpose of the soul message. I have read a few self help books this year and this one has got to be my favorite one. Even though I'm an agnostic and don't believe in the spiritual teachings in the book, John Gray lays it out for everyone; for every different religion so it's really easy to comprehend. I think I need a break from the self help books though......arggghhhh!!

Excellent insight on how to move forward with past bad experiences.

** spoiler alert ** Pedro Miranda26 September 2020English 11A Mrs. Schemenauer How to Get What You Want and Want What You HaveBy: John grayJohn Gray wrote a book that interprets a whole new meaning into your life. This book expressed and focused on how you could have anything you wanted because it was within reach. Focus points were on how success comes from improving and inventing. John Gray would even say how happiness is the only point in doing things. When you read this book it helps you feel whole about what you have and what you want. Three ruling points said by John Gray that put this book together remain to be “Business is not about money. It’s about making dreams come true for others and for yourself”.“Making a company is a great way to improve the world while improving yourself”.“Never do anything just for the money”. This book can inform you on topics such as Money can’t buy happiness, Selling our outer success, the value of meditation, how to decharge stress, letting go of negative emotions, find your magic star, practices and healing meditations. A chapter that spoke to me would have to be chapter 13 “FIND YOUR MAGIC STAR” This chapter made me aware of the fact that when anyone has a desire that is not fulfilled we give up on it, it made me realize that your desires or dreams are 100% within grasp and you are your only foe. This chapter let me know how trust, care and strong desire are key components and to keep these attitudes, you must be in touch with and how you feel about what you have and what you want. Yes I recommend this book it’s such a practical and improving book for personal success.

To control our life we have to deal with our past and all the negative feelings left. In every step of our life, from infancy to adulthood, we need a special kind of love; the love of GOD, of our parents, of our siblings and friends, of our partner, of our children, of people who needs us, but the most important we need to love, value and appreciate ourselves. Any lack of these love tanks could negatively affect our present and future. Sometimes we feel depressed, empty or paralyzed, we have all what we need, still we are not happy. We feel nothing and the worst is that we start to blame our family and friends, we lose control over our feelings and relationships, we feel disconnected from our desires, our dreams seem unreachable and we don't recognize our self anymore. The innocent child, the ambitious adult, the dreamer, all of them just disappear, leaving us to infinite sorrow. John Gray show us how to deal with this emptiness and inability to be happy and how to create a life of true fulfillment. He takes us into a journey inside each of us to reconcile our past with our present, to forgive our parents' mistakes and appreciate their love instead, to forgive ourselves for the mistakes we didn't do and to find the love we didn't have when we needed it. Our life is not a result of our past, but of our attitude dealing with this past. A must read book.

This was a significantly better book than expected and I plan to buy a hard copy of it. What drives my appraisal of it is a section towards the end that describes an exercise in identifying and resolving emotional blocks. It asks the reader to identify common emotions (like anger) and to describe them in terms of the underlying emotions (shame, guilt, sorrow, etc). The book walks the reader through resolving these emotional blocks by writing about them (I'm ashamed about__, I'm feeling guilty about __) depending on the surface emotion being perceived, asking you to dig deep and evaluate what's going on with you, and end the write up describing what you want. I think this is probably one of the more useful things I've picked up in a 'self help' book like this, especially given the title. There are some sort of adjacent/ parallel thought exercises to accomplish the same end (like revisiting old instances of a given emotion to resolve it currently, which was intriguing). There were some other nuggets but that was the most impacting for me personally. Unlike most other books in its category, I DO suggest that other people read this book.

Read by a young, male American narrator, suitable for x1.75 speed. An interesting read, definitely makes you think about your life from different perspectives.Favourite Quotes:"The secret to staying in touch with our true self is to keep filling up our love tanks.""The secret of personal success is to be true to yourself and to continue wanting more.""The secret to increasing your power to get what you want is to feel your negative emotions when you don’t get what you want and then release them. As you learn to release negative feelings and emotions, you’re left feeling your true desires.""When there is an abundance of green lights in your life, you don’t mind the occasional red light... Create green lights by healing your past."

I won't exaggerate and say this book changed my life yet it changed my perspective to certain matters.the author is advocating a mental and religious approach to heal your soul and cope with your new life, no one can control his life hundred percent or external factors yet we can definitely control the outcome and how we see things from our point of view, let the bygones bygone and stop blaming others for your anxiety,depression and fear of the future, the four tanks of love and twelve blocks are the best part, instead of blaming live your life,instead of stacking in the past , predict your future and gain control of your life.

Once you begin to get the message, you simply cannot put it down. The book has concepts that have steered me in the right direction and helped me to address my own blocks, needs and wants. It is not a book for reading once, but a book for keeping close to you for easy reference. Coupled with the Sedona Method, I highly recommend this book with confidence. It is a game changing read.

I read this book several years ago. I think of it lately as I felt as mentioned in the book, my love tank must be empty due to some events happened in my life. This book is easy to understand and has opened the door to my interest in psychology.

Maybe a bit to religious?

Good Read

Thank you John Gray for this wonderful book ❤️
