Product Description
Since the publication of his stunning worldwide bestseller Conversations with God (over two and a half years on the New York Times list; now published in 37 languages), Walsch has been telling readers that a new understanding of God can change lives and change the world. Now, in this new book, he expands on that theme by exploring how ordinary people can work in direct collaboration with God to transform their everyday lives into extraordinary experiences. This is not a book of spiritual theory. It provides a plan that can change lives. Included here is a program that Walsch calls ''17 Steps to being Happier Than God,'' a plan that combines the best of the conceptual truths of his 9-book Conversations with God series with the clearest description yet of how to turn those concepts into practical tools for altering life for the better--forever.

This was a lovely book. Easy to read. The messages are delivered in simple language and promote great understanding of emotional issues. It's all about the vibrations we emit through our thoughts. God wants us to be happy:if only we will let ourselves.
 Law of Attraction is only one Law operating in the Universe May 11, 2008
Walsch , in his effortlessly conversational style, clarifies confusion surounding all the hype about the law of Attraction from "The Secret" etc. Goes further to reveal & explain the other laws operating in the Universe & how by understanding these & working with them we can be open to embrace the happiness which is our birthright. Easy & enjoyable to read & truly enlightening.
 Ok but not extraordinary May 9, 2008

Ever since Conversations with God Book 1 I've been waiting for Neale to hit it out of the park again. He's come close in parts of his books but has yet to match his initial genius. Neale refers to this book as a project and uses a lot of quotes from his previous books. It read as a project rather than the previously natural inspirations from God. I felt as if he was trying to conjure something profound and advertise previous publications, mostly introducing and revisiting past concepts. This may be ok for someone new to Neale but I would recommend his first book. This book lacks that naturally inspiring progression. He walks you through but it seems like a lot of filler without the promised substance. As far as filling in the gaps of The Secret, I think this book is hyped up and only accomplishes minimal insights about the creation process, at least for this reader who is familiar with Neale's work. I give this book two stars because I was disappointed and await another ingenious publication like the first, even though I've purchased them all.
 AWESOME! May 8, 2008
I would reccomend this book to everyone. I bought one for my friend and she turned her life around. It helped me a great deal. Buy this book. It is very easy to read and is full of information to help you with your journey in life.
Mechanism of Manifestation and Other Articulate Ideas May 7, 2008
I always enjoy a book by Neale Donald Walsch and consider him one of the most profound authors of our time. "Happier Than God" is no exception. His insight into the nature of human reality is extraordinary and his ability to articulate ideas makes compelling reading.
If you've read Neale Donald Walsch's previous books in the "Conversations With God" series, this book will feel friendly and familiar.
His discussion of what he calls the "Law of Opposites" is what stood out to me as one of the best parts of the book. In order to understand the "Mechanism of Manifestation" we must understand and embrace the "Law of Opposites". Neale Donald Walsch says that in order to create anything we must first create a context in which it may be experienced. The dualistic nature of the world we live in requires that context to be opposite in nature.
From my viewpoint, if you apply this to the state of the world, then the escalating terrorism and violence we've seen for the past few decades appears to be a natural result of the fact that there is also a profound shift happening in consciousness. More and more people have begun to embrace the idea that they do in fact create their reality by their thoughts and feelings, awakening a spiritual renaissance that is sweeping the globe.
I enjoyed this book tremendously. Yet the explanations, as profound and intellectually engaging as they are, lack a quality that I can only describe as experiential. It provides plenty of food for thought for the mind - in fact it's a feast - but I thought the writing lacked a feeling quality that could have made this book more powerful. The personal examples he used from his own life to illustrate a point were scant and described in a very perfunctory way.
I love the size of this book. It's a bit smaller than his others and is handy for leaving on a nightstand, carrying on a plane, in a purse, etc. It's the kind of book that lends itself well to reading bits and pieces at a time. In fact, the structure of the book is laid out in a way that provides the reader with plenty of breaks to stop and reflect, giving the reader as much or as little "breathing time" as is needed to integrate its substance. All in all, I would highly recommend this book.
