Law of Attraction by Michael J. Losier - Book Review

Title: Law of Attraction
Author: Michael J. Losier
Pages: 152
Publisher: Wellness Central (New York) 2006

Books like this used to make me laugh a little, but now that I look at human behavior a little more, I can see that people do tend to attract more of what they think about and speak about than they realize. My idea of reading this book was to see what value this approach has in modifying my goal setting and other issues. As it turns out, there is some value to the ideas in this book and how significant they are depends on how much you take its message to heart.

I have to remark on style to start because this is one of the simplest books you will read, which is a good lesson if want to write a book with mass appeal. It also has several illustrative cartoons that help as well. At 152 pages it is quick read as well. In addition to all this, it is a work through book where you have to work though your own desires and wants into a workable plan of using the Law of Attraction.

The book starts out with the basic science of the law of attraction and the idea of positive and negative vibrations that influence each persons life. The idea is that we attract the same things as the vibrations we are putting out. If we are negative we attract the negative, if positive we attract positive. If mixed we get mixed. The book then goes on to help the reader come up with a plan to take deliberate action to move them from negative to positive vibrations in our life.

If one can have faith in the 'science' of attraction, I guess this would work. I have come to see this same idea from a spiritual perspective of faith but the principles are much the same. But the book does bring out that being positive is a far better way to live than the alternatives. It is not some unrealistic book either as Losier brings out that some negativity is from others in our lives that we cannot help but be there (family, coworkers). The idea is to control your own sphere of attraction and work on the rest. The book also give tips for teaching and dealing with others who are negative.

Rating: Four stars: If I (and this is me being the scholar) have a complaint, it is lack of depth. It also loses half a point for being somewhat incomplete but then again it assumes that you are going to buy Losier's other book the Law of Connection. That said, this is a good book if you want some basic information on the Law of Attaction. It also is a good help book if you want to apply that law to your life.
