1.0 out of 5 stars A book of no substance, Mar 15 2003

By

john cook (new york) - See all my reviews

This review is from: You Can Have It All (Paperback)

Arnold Patent's Book is a typical simplistic 'new age' treatise.' It is very preachy and blame oriented i.e if your life is a mess then it is your fault, you created it. The cornerstone of his philosophy is 'Integrity' but is really moralistic. Although it is very wordy and repetitive there is very little substance to the book.
Has sold well over the years because of its title which is the hook, the promise of a supremely abundant life, which is another way of expressing greed at any cost. This fits nicely in the long tradition of 'Get rich quick schemes' by selling 'How to get rich' books. There are no short cuts in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book with a profound impact!, May 22 2002

This review is from: You Can Have It All (Paperback)

In May of 2000, I had someone mention this book and how the author says we are all perfect, whole and complete just as we are. Wow! I knew I had to read this book and what a gift it has been in my life. I also bought the tape and as I walked every day I would listen to it over and over. I was so amazed to become aware that I was responsible for everything that happened in my life...that I am first cause.
At the time, I was estranged from my two children and this book helped me to find the way back to them by taking responsibility for me and my actions....to give them unconditional love and to be there to support them in their choices.
I also credit this book with giving me the tools to forgive my ex-husband at the core level after eleven years and to release him from any further responsibility for me. I only want from others what is freely given with love. This book helped me to see that everyone I attract into my life is there to support me in reclaiming my power within myself.

There are so many other things I could share, but just know that this little book has helped me in my life more than any other book I've read. I was so ready to hear what Arnold had to say and I am so grateful to him for sharing so well and so simply what he has learned.

5.0 out of 5 stars You really can have it all, Mar 4 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: You Can Have It All (Paperback)

But only if you're willing to take total responsibility for the things that happen in your life. What Mr. Patent has done is simply extraordinary. He has shifted the blame from outside to inside. And once that is done, you are empowered. I have had this book for years now and I still find it as fresh and exciting and the first time. I've read and reread this book over the years. It is so simple it's scary. If you never buy another self-help book, buy this one. It's well worth the money and time. This is the original and the best.
