Synopsis
Each of us is born with an inherent spiritual task, a sacred contract to learn to use our personal power responsibly, wisely and lovingly. World-renowned intuitive and motivational speaker Caroline Myss argues that we are most godlike, most powerful and most apt to increase our own power, when we act with true generosity towards others. For this new inspirational and spiritual teaching, Myss draws on her own experience and that of thousands of readers who wrote to her about their lives and the acts of kindness that transformed them. She includes stories of generosity, faith, emotional support and friendship and shows the many real ways that everyone has divine power and can act with it - indeed, MUST act with it. Coupling these stories with a dynamic new teaching about the innate physical/psychological/spiritual need we all have to do good - INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER will give readers the power to harness the positive energies of hope and faith in a time of overwhelming negative news and stress.

Customer Reviews

ahead of the crowd, as always
I'm told Myss is an acquired taste but, from the start, I was magnetised by her compelling mix of passion and candour. It's interesting that her blunt rejection of so much of the New Age nonsense is dubbed sarcasm by some: for me she comes across more as ironic, and her forthrightness is both refreshing and inspiring.

She started out as a medical intuitive with a fascinating ability to identify how different stages of history are reflected by specific major diseases and also to describe the world's spiritual shifts and stages over the decades since WWII. As always, her spoken material is more gripping than her written work. Myss has been on Oprah several times and is a magnificent guide and mentor with a powerful style. I have probably listened to every tape/CD she has produced.

This set is probably my favourite. Caroline Myss always presents original and often iconoclastic information but here she also introduces touching and wonderful stories of human generosity and charity that I loved hearing about and she clearly delighted in telling about. She shows how to break through hidden fears and breaks down generosity into seven different types, that she links to your chakras. She explains how to recognise sacred contracts in seemingly chance meetings, reveals the deep shifts that occur in your own energetic field when you respond to someone in need, and discusses both visible acts such as caring for a friend and "invisible acts" offered anonymously.

Read this book because...
This is an excellent book, very easy to read and full of wisdom. It restores faith in human nature and in our own ability to make small positive changes in our lives that reach out and touch other people.

Good uplifting read
I enjoyed this book and found it gave me new insights into the power of doing what you can, when you can for your fellow man/woman. Having said that, the tone became a little bit utopian and cheesy at times for my tastes but I think thats just my inner cynic talking.
In addition I read "The power of now" a few months ago and couldn't give a higher recommendation for those looking for a new perspective on all things spiritual and all the books i've read since have suffered a comparison. However, if you follow the advice given in this book, you will definitely notice some positive changes in your day to day.
