The first time I read this book, I was on a very rocky path and I found the book at a time when I really needed it. I spent three days reading this book, the first time through and just couldn't put it down. I'd read The Secret before. And while I've seen several people compare this book to The Secret, this book is so much better! It actually takes you through a basically real life example of how to use and apply the principles in The Secret, but in a more easily applicable form that we can each learn and apply to our lives starting today! And to help you apply these lessons, over the next 12 weeks, I am going to write a post for each lesson in the book, giving examples of how to apply it and how it has helped in my life. Kate is also posting these lessons on her blog as well.
On the cover of the book is the simple question, "What if you had one year to change your life?" This question applies to anything and everything life can throw at you, but you need to learn how to deal with it all and take it with your best foot forward. Stephanie, the main character in this book, starts out with what she "thinks" is a very happy life, but soon admits its all a facade to keep up with the Joneses. Is life really that important to you that you need to impress everyone around you and not yourself? Do you really need to have the best of everything the second it is released on the market? In the beginning of this book, that is exactly what Stephanie thought. She had to have the best of everything, which also included a mountain of debt she couldn't even pay!
Well, on New Year's Eve, she meets a psychic, who pulls 12 tarot cards for Stephanie, representing the 12 lessons she has to learn over the next 12 months. But that night, she only sees the first card, because everything the psychic said scares Stephanie, because how is it possible that someone who doesn't even know you, knows more about your life than you do?! When things start unraveling more and more for Stephanie, and she learns how right the psychic was, she has to go back to see her and find out what the rest of her lessons are. She then does apply these lessons to her life over the next 11 months and it's like her life changes miraculously!! And you can also apply these same 12 lessons to your life and watch it change as well!
So go pick up the book today! It's available in both Kindle and paperback. Kate has also prepared a Twelve Lessons Journal to go along with the book, also available in Kindle and paperback. Or if you would like your own 12 lessons to apply over the next 12 months, purchase your reading.
