This book is not teaching us to be lazy or selfish, it simply showed us a way not to be blinded by certain mindsets in the society and to be creative. The mindset of "hardworking = gain" or "just do, don't think" are very common mindsets among us, yet very powerful as we can see from the comment made above as an example. We are human beings with complex mental intelligence which we can't even explain fully ourselves. In this case, how can one determine which is the best way to earn the things we want? One might find a thousand reasons to prove that this "law" doesn't work, but by doing this, one also wasted his time while he could find and explore better ways in earning. The Law of Attraction may not be perfect, but it's a new light that could help us really think about the way things work in our lives. Blindly denying it wouldn't help you earn anything, but you might be missing out on the opportunity to earning everything.

"If you want something, you have to earn it." Quoted from the commentator above. I don't disagree with you on that, but if you have even read the book, that is exactly what the book is trying to teach you; to earn something that you want, just not in your way. As soon as you find it not suiting your way of thinking, or values in life, you disapprove it. You might be accustomed to earning something your own way, however, the process of you wanting something and then earning it is not a process which you can fully control or determine on your own. You have to admit the "power" of you alone is not everything that makes up your life. I don't see how finding ways to increase that "power" is rubbish. You can spend half your life disapproving others as you did in your comment, but how is that going to make your life any happier?

Actually the Law of Attraction does not care if you believe in it or not. It just is. Like most simple messages there will always be those who do not wish to hear. The Law of Attraction works even if you don't believe in it you attract what you think about and give emotion to whether you want it or not, there is no judgement it just is, you only need to look at your own life for the proof, nothing else matters really. This is not a new concept it is as old as time and this book explains why things appear to happen or not and it isn't because you "believe" it is because you think and feel! but you need to be aware of what you are thinking and feeling in order to attract what you want. So it explains how you need to start paying attention to how you feel when you say the things you do or ask for the things you want, if you feel as though you have it - you know it is on its way. if you feel like you don't have it then you don't and won't indeed you get more of the don't. OH well I know how my life is turning out and honestly if you love what you have then there is nothing to worry about.

this is an excellent book and very basic to understand. everyone should be made to read it in school years to understand how the universe works and not be pig headed about any particular religion and convinced that it is the only belief that will get you to heaven. Be open minded about all things

Deeper and more in depth truth and understanding of that of the secret. Amazing clarity for those ready to listen and learn.

Everyone would do well to read, understand and know this book of simple truth.

Bollocks. Complete and utter rubbish. There's a saying, "Wish in one hand, shit in the other -- see which one fills up first." The universe does not respond to the whims of greedy, middle-class social climbers or patchouli-sniffing, cardigan-wearing hippies. If you want something, you have to earn it. You have to work for it. No one, and that includes God, the universe or the sodding tooth fairy is going to simply hand it to you on a silver platter. This book encourages laziness, selfishness and the delusional belief than things will just fall into your lap if you "believe in them" sufficiently. What a steaming wheelbarrow-load of codswallop.

The 'Law of Attraction' is real enough, however. Greedy, money-grubbing parasites are always attracted to the bank accounts of the lazy, stupid or naive.
