What have you got to lose? It's a quick read and like the "Master Key System", "The Secret" and "Think and Grow Rich", to name a few, it places you in the driver's seat. And to me it makes the point that you've got the power. The book suggest you put all other systems aside in favor of its system or it won't work: a technique often used in brainwashing. I submit again, you have nothing to lose. The promise it makes is that you have the power inside you to make things happen...Sounds like a good idea, even if a little brainwashing is involved. If after awhile, it doesn't work, go back to looking for outside forces and help. Wattles doesn't discount a creator but instead claims the creator has given you power over the process.
