Follow Your Passion, Find Your Power: Everything You Need to Know About the Law of Attraction

Bob Doyle. Hampton Roads, $16.95 trade paper (256p) ISBN 978-1-57174-647-4

After the 2006 publication of Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, the idea of drawing what you desire%E2%80%94the law of attraction%E2%80%94drew worldwide buzz. Doyle (Wealth Beyond Reason), a motivational speaker featured in The Secret film, addresses questions raised by its popularity. Guest columns from other teachers and Doyle's chatty tone mean the book sometimes reads like a seminar transcription. But those eager to embrace the law of attraction will find answers as Doyle offers guidance for identifying passions; overcoming resistance, both internal and external; and visualizing desire until it becomes reality. Nearly half the book addresses specific questions, including how to deal with skeptics. Doyle is interested in the law's science (with talk about frequencies and magnetic energy), but says studies are unlikely to prove the truth of magnetic attraction. However, his aim isn't defending the law of attraction; it's teaching the reader how to align energy with desire and with detailed recommendations, resulting in a practical guide to utilizing this New Age belief.
