• Be clear in your vision
• Remove fear and doubt
• Align your behaviour
• Overcome tests from the universe
• Embrace gratitude without caveats
• Turn envy into inspiration
• Trust in the universe

I do enjoy reading self-help books but this one didn’t do it for me. I don’t know anything about the author, haven’t come across her before. However, in this audiobook, she strikes me as spoiled and doesn’t acknowledge how that fact could have helped her with the ‘manifesting’ examples from her real life. This seems disingenuous to readers who do not have that same background to fall back on.

The audiobook itself lacks structure. From time to time there’s an accompanying bell sound in the background that I found extremely distracting. I could not focus on the words that were spoken during those moments.

While, in every self-help guide book, there are some interesting points brought up that resonated with me, the book lacks depth. There is no real knowledge being shared. At the very least, it was a short read, so not a lot of time wasted.
