I bought this book over a year ago, and I've purposely waited until now to write a review. I wanted to give it time to work.
I'll start by saying that the book itself is an easy, fun read. I finished it in a few days, and I've gone back to read it a few times since then.
So many self-help books are full of fluff, or are advertisements for more expensive programs offered by the author. With Mr. Boc, I never once got the sense that he was trying to sell me anything. It was clear that he found a method for improving his life and that he simply wanted to share it with the rest of us.
In addition, so many books about the Law of Attraction speak in vagaries and never commit to describing exactly what you need to do in order to activate the law. That way, if it doesn't work, then the author can claim that you didn't really believe in what you were doing, or that you somehow focused on what you didn't want, or some other twisty-turny trick of evasion that would make any logical person's head explode.
Mr. Boc - for better or worse - lays out exactly what you should do in order to follow his method. It's a gutsy move, even if in a perfect world it wouldn't be.
His ideas made enough sense to me that I have folllowed them religiously for the past 13 months. Every single morning, I wake up and focus on my affirmations. Every single day,I write out one affirmation 20 times (okay, I accidentally missed 2 days out of 395, but I woke up the next morning and frantically scribbled out my affirmations for the day before). Every single evening, I focus on my affirmations before I go to sleep. And every single time I earn money, I immediately give 3-4% of it to charity.
I believe this qualifies me to say whether or not the system works.
Right up front, I will say that not everything I have affirmed has come true. For instance, I'm not a millionaire yet. So, if you are wondering whether the system works every time for every affirmation for every person - for me, at least, the answer has been no.
That said, I can easily say that my life is so, so so much better than it was 13 months ago, and it is clear to me that so much of it has to do with following Mr. Boc's methods.
Regarding my life before I began this program, I don't want to get into the usual "living in a van down by the river" cliches. But 13 months ago, I was overweight, and no method of weight loss was working for me; I was working at a job I hated, which stressed me out and wore me down every day; and my finances were - to put a fine point on it - crap, with daily stress about how I was going to cover my bills.
Today, I am 43 pounds thinner than I was last year; I found a job that I love (three weeks after affirming for one); and while I'm not even close to being a millionaire, my money stress has disappeared, and I am making enough to cover my bills and save a healthy amount each month towards a better future.
You could say that these changes happened magically, as a result of following Mr. Boc's method. But if you're not inclined to believe that, then I will posit two more reasonable theories:
1) Repeating my affirmations every morning and evening, and taking the time to write down one of them 20 times every day, kept me focused on the exact direction I wanted to move in, and it kept me moving in that direction. I never let a day pass where I didn't know exactly what I wanted my life to be like, even if I seemed so far away from getting there. It's no surprise, then, that I moved in the direction I wanted to move in and never deviated from it.
2) Repeating my affirmations gave me faith that things would get better. Instead of spending my days frantically wondering how things could possible improve, I told myself, over and over, that I would reach my goals and eventually live the life I wanted to live. I had that much less room for doubt because I was spending my time telling myself that things would work out, even if I didn't know how, and even if I didn't completely believe it yet.
One of the hardest things in the world to do is be in the middle of an awful situation and sincerely believe that things will get better. Well, hammering affirmations into my head every day is the best method I've found for getting there, even if it takes a long time.
That's not magic, but it's been enough for me.
I've also followed Mr. Boc's method of "glad-giving": donating a small percentage of all the money I earn to a worthy cause. Again, this hasn't made me rich. But the purpose, according to Mr. Boc, is to lessen your grip on money and to keep it actively flowing in and out of your life. In that sense, it's given me a much more relaxed and playful attitude towards money. I don't hoard it, and I don't hold on to it so tightly, and I've been better off for it.
Nearly the first thing I do after every paycheck is decide which charity I'm going to donate to, and then make my donation. You may or may not believe this, but it's fun. I look forward to choosing a charity, and I look forward to giving away money I just earned. I've given away - happily - at least a thousand dollars in the past 13 months, and I look forward to giving away thousands more in the future. I don't ever see ending this practice, even if it turns out that I'm not bringing an equal or greater amount of money back into my life. It just feels good.
I'll admit that I initially hoped that all of Mr. Boc's methods would work like magic, and that I'd be typing this review today from a golden computer. And who knows, maybe I will eventually. I'm not giving up on these methods.
But any small disappointment has been nothing compared to the mind-boggling changes that have occurred in my life since I began following Mr. Boc's methods. I was miserable and stressed; I tried these methods; and now I'm relaxed and happy. On every measurable level, my life is better than it was, by far. Correlation doesn't imply causation, but in this case, I'll imply it anyway. The book works.
To Mr. Boc: Thank you for the ideas that have so improved my life and hopefully will continue to improve it for years and years.
To anyone on the fence about buying this book: If you are honestly going to follow Mr. Boc's methods, then I cannot recommend it highly enough. Read it, follow it, and hopefully you will experience the positive, happy changes I continue to experience every day.
