Synopsis
This is a guide aimed at helping the reader realize their dreams - just by placing an order with the universe. The author explains how she used the "cosmic ordering service" to gain her dream job, the ideal man, money, health - even a castle to live in! She intends here to show the reader how to listen to their inner voice, place their order, sit back and let marvellous things just happen.
Customer Reviews
Very Disappointed
I had such great expectations for this book especially after all the hype about Noel Edmonds saying that 3 out of his 5 orders came true and he was just waiting for the other 2 to materialise. The forward sounded quite good but after the first chapter I began to realise that there was nothing new in the book at all. The author barely touches on the "ordering service" and pads the rest of the book out with relaxation techniques and other irrelevant stuff. It was a complete waste of money and, in my opinion, the book only gained popularity because Noel Edmonds mentioned it. Better books are "It Works" by RH Jarrett and "The Magic of Believing" by Claude M Bristol - which, together, can be purchased for less than Barbel Mohr's book
Superstitious claptrap
This book is written in an easy-going style, so that most people supposedly will be able to access it. However, when one does read it, one finds a mass of contradictions. For example in one chapter it says: you do not have to believe in Cosmic ordering for it to work. However, in another chapter it says: you have to be free from all unbelief of its efficacy for it to work. Go figure!
The basic premise is that you place an order, however you wish, with the Cosmos for a wish to come true at a certain time ... and that is it. However the authoress had to pad it out for another 100 pages otherwise there would have been no book to publish. Needless to say there is never any evidence that any of the results described were anything more than luck.
One is tempted to think that Miss Mohr put the following order in with the Cosmos: "I want a way to deprive gullible idiots of all their money..."
Abysmal
Noel Edmonds is the best thing this book can conjure up! The instruction to connect to the cosmos is conspicuous by its absence. You just cannot keep scribbling on bits of paper and then totally forgetting about I and then make a big song and dance over it in a book!!! I am amazed at the coverage this has had, it certainly captivated me. I think this is going to disappoint a lot of people, unless they buy it for its novelty tie-in to Noel Edmonds. There is absolutely no credit given to the reader's intelligence, even being told that the author has an advantage over you! Most certainly she has by a few million quid. No doubt more will waste their money on this book by the drove. I'm off to find something more positive.
