The Law of Attraction

by Esther and Jerry Hicks

The Hicks' foundational statement: the law of attraction, the science of deliberate creation, the art of allowing, segment intending. It is the source material for much of The Secret and shares its weaknesses. Readers who want the Hicks material should start with Ask and It Is Given, which is more practical.

Read it if…

you want the origin text of the modern attraction movement.

Skip it if…

you want practice; the other book has more.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Intention-setting focuses attention.
  2. Allowing is acceptance by another name.
  3. The theory adds nothing to the practice.

Do this first

Try segment intending, setting an intention before each activity, as a focus technique.

Our verdict

Origin text; the practical one is better.
