 Wisdom Gained From Experience December 18, 2008
"Life's Missing Instruction Manual" is a collection of Joe Vitale's wisdom interspersed with wisdom from his friends. If you learn just one new idea from this book then it will be worth the money spent. For example, one of the contributing authors describes how she gets her prayers answered. I loved her idea of visualizing the prayer ascending to heaven.
Some of the ideas in this book are similar to "The Secret." If you've read that book then you understand how the universe is supposed to supply you with whatever you want. I prefer to think of the blessings coming from God, but in this book you will also find Joe Vitale talking about the universe.
There is a lot of wisdom in this book but it is sometimes overshadowed by Joe Vitale marketing all his other books. He even gets so bold as to tell the reader that he now has power over them and that they should go buy his other books. This just seemed silly to me and ruins the spirit of the book. One of his ideas seemed rather strange. It was about how getting old is merely a disease and that it isn't normal. I guess he believes that you can have control over aging although to date no one has stopped themselves from dying of old age. I do believe you can make good decisions to keep yourself healthier as you age gracefully.
While reading, I had to agree with the fact that if you change your thoughts you change your feelings and then can change your life. I've seen this work in my own life so I know it is true. This book definitely preaches the power of positive thinking.
In this book you will find information on how to combat fear, how to learn how to forgive, how to be instantly happy and how to learn to listen to people ...really listen. So there is a lot of valuable information that can help you become more successful.

This book was ok... A little redundant and difficult to get through. Lots of advice and ideas you've heard before... Everyone seems to think the title is misleading... I'd agree.
The things you knew you should know August 5, 2008
I just finished listening to this book on CD while driving back and forth to work, now I am getting ready to spend the money on the book... after listening to the CD the second time!
While there are no straight forward solutions to issues or mechanics, it is clear the Joe Vitale belives in the power of the universe to bring us what we need. On the other hand, there is no encouragement to sit back on the couch watching cartoons and expect the world to fall into your lap either.
Essentially what is contained within is an encouragement and a guide to "see" your goals clearly, no matter how high, and be aware enough to act on the opportunities that present themselves.
Many other authors have contributed and I am looking forward to holding this book so that I can look more deeply into what they have to offer outside of Joes Vitales realm.

GOOD, BUT NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE...NOTHING EYE OPENING, NOT A BOOK I WOULD GIVE TO A FRIEND TO READ
If you read The Secret, don't buy this book... July 3, 2008

It's a re-fried version of The Secret. Plain and simple. Even worse Joe Vitale uses this book to promote over and over again his other book "The Attractor Factor".
It's easy to read because it's a compilation of small "nuggets" of wisdom. It even has the same people that appear in The Secret, like Jack Canfield and some other people I don't even remember. It's like they got together to make a bunch of books and videos and tapes that say the same message.
Like I titled this review, don't waste your money or time if you already read The Secret.
