This is my first time through the book. I’ll take her advice and go through a second time, more slowly and with more practice. If you want to retain your skeptical view of life, you should skip it, but if you are ready to see your life differently it’s brilliant.

A family member gave it to me and said it would heal me. It didn’t. Instead it taught me that slaves chose to be slaves, gays invented AIDS so they wouldn’t have to deal with old age, and that “the anus is as beautiful as the ear”.
(Disclaimer, I believe that all the above points from the book are wrong and deeply offensive. This book started as interesting, then became comical, and quickly revealed itself to be dangerous)

I really wanted to like this.
In fact, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this book at times.
However, I can't enjoy the fact that Louise L. Hay stands by this ideology that states that if people are born with disabilities then they made the conscious decision to have these disabilities. It's insulting, rude and frankly puts more stress on this guy than a book should.
I wish there was an ableism free version of this book.

Great way to reflect on ourselves and how physical manifestations like diseases may be tied to life experiences, thought patterns, limiting beliefs and the power we have to resolve these. I wish some area dove a little deeper but overall it was a solid little jump into this very complex topic of soul vs body vs mind. I didn’t fully connect with the writing style but can see myself referring back to it in the future

This was a reread for me. I first read this book in 2011. I definitely think the content has been rewritten since then.
I like Hay’s advice on being mindful
Of your thoughts and how they can impact your life, as well as the general message to practice good self-care.
However, there is also a lot of toxic, shame-based advice such as you can prevent or cure cancer just by thinking more positively.
At one point she also connects being ill with not approving of yourself which can be fixed if you repeat, “I approve of myself” hundreds of times a day.

Na nog geen 20 pagina’s heb ik dit boek dichtgeslagen en regelrecht de papierbak in gegooid. De schrijfster gelooft in reïncarnatie en stelt dat je zelf je ouders, werelddeel, huidskleur, oogkleur etc. hebt gekozen en dat je dus ook hebt gekozen voor de problemen die dit kan meebrengen.
Ja - we kiezen voor bijv. armoede en mishandeling, i’m out.

Soooo much crazy in this book. I read it because Gala Darling always raved about it and I finally came across this floral fuckery at the library. I liked about 15% of her philosophy A LOT and the rest I read in between involuntary eye rolls. This is some wocka wocka The Secret shit right here.
But really I didn't expect much out of a book with butterflies all over it. However, that said, the first like 5 chapters had some good shit on perspective, but nothing you wouldn't get from one of Gala's podcasts.
