Ich hab tatsächlich sehr lange gebraucht bis ich mich jetzt dazu entschließen konnte meine Rezension zu schreiben. For years, journalist and podcaster Jordanna Levin thought that she was psychic. She would worry about things and they would come true. But she wouldn't just worry; she would feel them, take subconscious action towards them and believe with every cell of her being that they would happen-and most of the time, they did. A broken foot, a cancelled flight, a tragic love story... the list went on. She soon realised that she wasn't just predicting the future, she was manifesting it. Until one day she changed the game. If she could manifest mishaps and disasters, why not the things she actually wanted? Positiv denken, sich selbst lieben, Wünsche und Träume aufschreiben, Atemübungen, Vertrauen, Dankbarkeit (oh Gott!), bla bla. Alles schon tausend mal da gewesen.

What a book! I’ve literally not been able to put this one down this afternoon… I love a good self-help book and I’ve not read one in a while. I got this weeks ago in a charity shop so I didn’t know if it was going to be any good but I really liked it. Some parts were quite spiritual mentioning crystals, tarots and the lunar cycle but that was only in the last two chapters so don’t let that distract you if your not into that it’s still a great self help book. None of this is relevant. And the Queen Anne neighborhood is not explained to people unfamiliar with Seattle. Wikipedia tells me "Queen Anne is disproportionately populated by unmarried, young adults. The population is more racially homogeneous, better educated and wealthier than Seattle as a whole." I guess including the neighborhood might show how successful a singer he had made himself? I included the bit about tea and crusty peasant bread because even before reading the opera singer's story, it was obviously out of place. I like bread and oil, but reading this is mildly disgusting--why, I wonder? I'm not a tea drinker, but wine seems like it might be the more natural pairing. And him eating with great gusto, tearing off chunks; picturing it, you imagine oil running down his chin as he talked. Gross. This book definitely helped me to view my life from another viewpoint and consider all the ways I can change pretty much everything, with just a change of attitude.I made an appointment to meet him at the apartment the opera company had rented for him in the Queen Anne neighborhood. When I arrived, he made me some tea and put a crusty loaf of peasant bread and a dish of olive oil on the table. Then he sprinkled fresh Parmigiano Reggiano on top of the oil. He told me his story with great gusto and as he talked, he tore off chunks of bread and dipped them in the oil and cheese, inviting me to do the same." Sternzeichen zum Beispiel. Da ist die Rede von der Sonne, die durch die Sternzeichen läuft und ja, die Autorin sagt natürlich, dass die Sonne sich eigentlich nicht bewegt, sondern ein Fixstern ist. Allerdings wird in der Astrologie nun mal alles "von der Erde aus betrachtet". Was bedeutet, dass dieser Humbug die Wissenschaft ignoriert und im Prinzip überhaupt keine Bedeutung hat. Und wieder einmal: bitte nicht falsch verstehen. Ich habe nichts dagegen, wenn Menschen ihre Horoskope lesen und ihrem Sternzeichen eine große Bedeutung beimessen. Jordanna Levin beschreibt in „Make it happen“ alle Aspekte der Manifestationsgleichung ausführlich und nachvollziehbar. Eine gewisse Skepsis bleibt mir bisher noch erhalten, ein leichtes „Aber....“ schwingt bei mir im Hinterkopf, aber vom Prinzip her finde ich die Erklärungen sehr logisch. I’m a bit of a dreamer myself I’m always up for the challenge of going after a dream and lots of my personal goals I’m really fortunate to have come true but not every dream I’ve chased has come true …many have fizzled out to nothing and others have just blatantly failed miserably😂 but I’m quite determined (stubborn some may say) and I totally believe everyone is worthy of achieving their dreams. The key is to get out there and at least try… gotta have faith guys !!! ❤️ I think this book has some great tips to help manifest the life you want with the key element being you can’t just dream it you have to take action… so true 🙌

Stufe um Stufe führt Jordanna Levin an das Prinzip der Manifestation heran. Viele Beispiele zeigen, was im Leben möglich ist. Praktische Übungen – wie Schreibübungen, Meditationen und Reflexionen – regen dazu an, Wünsche konkret zu formulieren und ins Handeln zu kommen. Don't wait for the perfect circumstances. Begin having a full life today. A whole, fulfilling life. Normalerweise lese ich solche Bücher gar nicht so gerne, doch als ich die Chance bekam, das Buch zu rezensieren, dachte ich mir „Why not?“. Im Nachhinein bin ich sehr froh über diese Entscheidung, da mich das Buch wirklich sehr begeistert hat. I thought this would be a little more about writing out your goals to focus your attention, and a little less about literally writing letters to a Christian god. There's a large focus on scripting. Also the cultural appropriation in chapter 17 aged poorly.
