Wealth is not all about money though it is an important part of wealth. Wealth can be counted in so many ways, including your state of health and your state of happiness.

In their book Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness Esther and Jerry Hicks explore what real wealth is. They look at all aspects of wealth: how to attract physical well being, how to attract your ideal weight or mate, how to attract your optimum career.

The one thing I love about this book and the other books by Esther and Jerry Hicks that I’ve read, is the simplicity of their solutions, the simplicity of the “how to.”

Their suggestions a really easy to implement. All you need to bring to the party is persistence, and an ability to let go of the complexities you have surrounded yourself with.

I’ll give you an example from my own life.

The Teachings of Abraham say, that if you are not happy, not enjoying yourself then you are out of alignment with source energy and therefore in the process of attracting what you don’t want.

If you can just spot that moment when you go from being happy to feeling upset or angry or disappointed, you can start to reverse the misalignment before it gets out of hand.

My little example is quite remarkable. On my way home from work I found my self getting upset about something going on in my personal life. As I am driving I can feel the anger building. It was just as I was getting really agitated and worked up, that something clicked in my brain and I said to myself. “Nick you are out of vibrational alignment.”

Once I spotted that simple fact I began to work my way through a series of though statements about the situation, each one getting a little more positive, until the mood lifted and I felt quite content and serene. By the time I arrive home, the incident was behind me and I was smiling again, my vibrational alignment restored.

Awareness is the key. Reading this book, and other books my Esther and Jerry will rise your awareness level. This stuff starts to become second nature.

The book explores very practical everyday situations. This is not some esoteric flight of fancy. This is a practical guide to help you find your way to attracting wealth, health and happiness.

Here is a clip from the DVD that is included with the book.

to chase away the villains that plague us daily — the
limiting beliefs, the negative thoughts and emotions,
the self-sabotaging habits?

Over ten years ago Robin Sharma wrote the book: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams & Reaching Your Destiny
and began a resurgence of interest in spirituality.

Today the book is available in 42 languages with millions of readers world wide.

I just finished reading it for the first time. The book is an easy page turning read. I found the story of Julian Mantle, the Monk who sold his Ferrari, fascinating as well as uplifting.

As Julian tells his story to his best friend, John, over a very long night, he reveals a different way of living, on a simple but more fulfilling level.

As Julian talks the transformation begins in John as he absorbs the methods Julian used to total transform his life from a top gun lawyer burning his candle at both ends, to a Monk who’s life purpose is now to share his emancipation to as many people as he can.

From a man who almost dies from a heart attack to a revitalized , vigorous and radiant being, Julian’s passage gives hope for all of us who search for meaning and purpose to our lives.

Here is Julian’s words of Goal setting which is beautifully illustrated in the book:

People spend their whole lives dreaming of becoming happier, living with more vitality and having an abundance of passion. Yet they do not see the importance of taking even ten minutes a month to write out their goals, and to think deeply about the meaning of their lives, their Dharma. Goal-setting will make you life magnificent. You world will become richer more de;oghful and more magical.

Here’s another quote,

“The quality of your life will come down to the quality of your contribution.”

And this:

When you work to improve the lives of others, you indirectly elevate you won live in the process.

And this about laughter:

“Laughter opens you heart and soothes your soul. No one should ever take life so seriously that they forget to laugh at themselves.”

Like all of the best books on spirituality and self development, this one becomes a handy reference to ponder and return to in order to refresh the spirit while giving encouragement to strive for those goals of service.

I highly Recommend the book, whether you read it ten years ago or not, it’s time to hear the story of Julian Mantle retold.
