I have been told that books come into your life at just the right time and I think that this is true with The Magic.
The basis of this book is showing gratitude which is the basis of most spiritual teachings from Christianity to Buddhism. Whatever your belief system this book is a great way of teaching you how to practice gratitude in your life.
I like the book because it's short chapters, each of which has an exercise for you to do and it's designed to be read one chapter a day. I found this easy to add into my morning routine and was enjoying doing the exercises as well until I came to one chapter and just could not complete that particular exercise!
After a number of days, I decided to leave that chapter and carry on with the rest and there were a few that I found I couldn't complete. My daughter is reading the book now and I'll revisit it in a couple of months when I can hopefully complete all of the exercises.
I didn't find that the book taught me a lot that I didn't know, but by doing the exercises and really thinking about my blessings and showing my gratitude I have noticed a few things in my life have changed.
I really recommend this for everyone, personally, I was finding myself becoming very negative about a situation in my life (and I hate being negative I should add, I much prefer the positive side of myself) and I credit this book with helping me 'find' my positive side again. I also made an achievement in my work life which I think was directly connected to one of the exercises in the book.
Have you read The Magic?
I'd be interested to know if you've read The Magic and/or The Secret. I think once I've finished a couple of the books on my list I might try and read The Secret again and see if I get past the first few pages!
