Author Janet Poole shares the findings of her 20 years of research into life and human nature in an accessible, chatty format which is easy to digest and even to accept.

Be gentle with yourself on this path, as there is no right or wrong way to live your life. Each way you choose merely supplies feedback for you, only learning. The life experience that each of us requires is unique. there are many different paths you can take, and you are entitled to those choices.
The biggest blessing you can give someone is to accept them for who they are. Start by accepting yourself and go with what resonates for you.

I came to this book with a little trepidation. I’ve read lots of self-help books, and have read quite a bit about the Law of Attraction, and I wondered if this might be a rehash of what I’d heard before. I was also a little daunted by the dense layout of the book, which I could see packed a lot into its pages. However, I was pleasantly surprised by its content, and managed to read and absorb  it comfortably over the course of a day.

Author Janet Poole shares the findings of her 20 years of research into life and human nature in an accessible, chatty format which is easy to digest and even to accept.  Her focus is on how our thoughts and actions shape who we are and what we achieve – and on how readers can reshape their thoughts in order to achieve whatever they want, from relationships, family, career and possessions, to good health and inner peace. Each chapter includes examples, inspirational quotes, a summary of key points covered and exercises for the reader to attempt.

Whilst the  layout does take some getting used to, the content is valuable and the inspirational quotes  – from literature, world leaders, and great thinkers – are a real delight. The overarching message of the book  – that you control your destiny – is a good one.
