Interesting Points: The idea that you can manifest your desires is not unheard of. How many times have you wanted something so bad that you did anything you could to get it and eventually things seemed to fall into place as if by magic. Once you set your mind on something, keep your focus, and be persistent about it you will most likely get whatever it is that you desire. For most people money is not a strong enough desire for that to become true because most people treat money as just an exchange to get an item they desire or things they could buy with it.

After-thought: This book was an interesting read. It has a very similar theme to a lot of other books and reaffirms the power of thinking through this majority.
