Manifest Anything You Want: Six Magical Steps to Create an Extraordinary Life

In this approachable debut guide to personal transformation, ghostwriter Rajah advocates for moving beyond “affirmations, visualizations, and other mainstream” methods of manifestation and toward a process of releasing fear and embracing self-acceptance to build a life that “reflects what you believe in.” Rajah helps readers to identify their core desires and get out of the universe’s way so those wishes can come to fruition, a process that is achieved partly by accepting one’s circumstances and signaling “to the Universe [that] you are ready for the bigger, better, more beautiful reality.” In addition to familiar yogic and meditation practices, Rajah provides novel exercises for crafting a “Manifesting Avatar,” a composite of desired “traits, virtues, and skills” that captures the “essence of your Future Self” and can facilitate self-transformation in the present. Quizzes and question prompts give the proceedings a fun, interactive flair, and Rajah wisely keeps things grounded throughout—there’s talk of the universe and its energy, but her exercises are rooted in improving self-knowledge and self-acceptance in order to live more intentionally and with greater openness. Those new to the concept of manifestation would do well to start here. (June)
