Its like chi, connecting your spirituality with the universe is something possible. A part of this book is true! Thanks!

I found the review helpful, especially the discussion about the confused theories.
I am keen on self-help, and I admire people who write to help others. The author uses his own experiences to help others, which is always good.
There are many self-help books of many kinds, I don't think that this one is for me, but thank you for the review.

Thanks for the review. The Universe/God confusion isn't a big issue for me, but - despite the lovely title - I think the book sounds really irritating. Furthermore, I would be pretty angry if I'd paid for a book and then had to go on a website to download a missing chapter. I've met Technology and Maths books were you can go to download test material or exemplary files, but that's different, in my opinion. I'm glad to have your review, otherwise the title might have seduced me into buying the book.

I agree. I think he should have called it a "Bonus" chapter!

Much of my undergraduate degree was spent studying world religions and I often enjoy dissecting new viewpoints. Non-fiction isn't my preferred way to enjoy reading otherwise I might add this to my list. Thank you for your review!

A self-help book that motivates the reader to improve his life and be one with the universe sounds good. Adding personal stories to the book makes it more personal. Equating God with the Universe is another way to look at things. Too bad some of the concepts were confusing and unclear. I don't read self-help books, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

Nice review. This sounds like a great book for fans of motivational reads. I like how the author points out how our attitudes can positively or negatively affect our health. I really believe that. I don’t think this book is really my cup of tea though. Thanks so much for sharing.

I read the sample on Amazon, but I don't think I would read the whole book. It is not my kind of material. But great job on the review!

I like motivational and spiritual books. I thought about reading it but I did not like that the author’s message about God and the Universe is not clear. Thanks for the review!

This definitely sounds like a unique motivational self-help! The concept of dancing with the universe in order to gain harmony and more positivity in life is something I've never really thought about. I'm not sure how I feel in comparing the Universe to God and the confusion between the two, but I do like the idea of having harmony in life. I do agree that thoughts can affect our health, but I'm not sure about it being the cause of cancer. The personal stories included, I'm sure, adds a nice personal touch to the book, but I'm confused about the missing chapter here? Too bad about the errors, and unclear/confusing parts. It looks like you enjoyed the book regardless, though! I don't think this is for me, but thank you for sharing!
