 Well written August 11, 2008

Well written book. Very clear and precise on the subject matter. Anyone should be able to understand what the book is about. It's a good idea to do the work, because it will help you understand and realize the harmony of it all. I've already encouraged others to buy this book. Great reading to all!
 Great message, wrong messenger August 10, 2008

I enjoyed James Ray in The Secret so I was excited when I received the audiobook for Harmonic Wealth as a gift. My excitement quickly turned to utter annoyance. Ray tries to make his reading sound causal, but it really sounds like forced bad acting. He talks down to the listener and judges those who are not as "enlightened" as he is. He does a lot of name dropping and at one point compares himself to Bill Gates and Richard Branson! He calls himself a spiritual leader, but he behaves like a smarmy used car salesman, peddling spiritual wisdom instead of automobiles.
James Ray's "five pillars of harmonic wealth" sounds like an interesting concept, but he does a very poor job of outlining it, and is all over the place in his explanation of each pillar. There were many times when I didn't know which pillar he was actually talking about because he had been boasting about himself for so long. This book is really just an advertisement for his harmonic wealth idea, and apparently you have to give him more money to find out what it really is, as he doesn't actually tell you what to do to become as "enlightened" as he is. At one point he even tells the listener to go to his website and order his expensive mediation cds.
This book is also a vehicle for Ray to gloat about himself. He spends quite a lot of time praising himself and bragging about his own achievements. He probably should have just written an autobiography and called it "I'm Better Than You." The book would have been about half the size if he hadn't included so much useless information about himself. I'm wondering if he had to pad the book with his own gloating because he hadn't fully developed his five pillar idea or if he wasn't able to fully develop the idea because he was so wrapped up his is own narcissism.
That said, there are a few good pearls of wisdom here, but you have to wade through a lot of muck to get to them. I'm sure there are other books out there on the law of attraction that are much better and much more worthy of your money.
Harmonising your life August 7, 2008
James Ray intimately shares his life's experiences and beautifully weaves his own understandings into a well written, concise book about creating a harmonious life. Our current world desperately requires greater happiness and I believe this book can help. Thank you James.
Harmonic Wealth August 4, 2008
Excellent book. If you read & follow the plan it will make a positive and probably dramatic change in your life.
Follows The Secret! July 28, 2008
There are many books out there following The Secret but this is one of the good ones....it adds and explains and with easy reading so you too can attract the life you want. Another book with a workbook approach from an educational standpoint which is one of my favorites is Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook....another view on The Law of Attraction.
