content: I Love the Abraham-Hicks material. I have been reading and listening for the past 10+ years. If you did not have parents or mentors around who assisted in building your confidence and who gave you empowering and enlightening knowledge about how things work in the world then I suggest you buy both books.The simplest message is that lot's of things are true, even the negative stuff, but it's up to you whether or not you activate these negative things or just ignore them and move on. I think someone said something about "turning the other cheek." You can apply this to just about any life experience. I'm not saying that things will change over night, although they could, but this is mateial that can be used for life.
