You Can Have It All 4th Rev. Ed.

This is a magnificent book that shows you how the only energy in the universe is love and you can have more of it, more happiness, abundance, more bliss in your life. It presents you with a significant choice: to see things as events and circumstances that happen to you, as random and dangerous - or to shift into being the power, the active creator of everything, understanding that you're making up the game, with energy expanding and opening into new levels of joy. The book is written eloquently and simply, and it's a true gem to behold. This book has been praised far and wide - even by Oprah who called it "One of the most important books I have ever read." This is a book about Universal Principles that opens your heart and steers you to the path of limitless abundance. Arnold Patent has a gift for helping to transform energy into joy. He has done this with great skill in You Can Have it All. I recommend that you read this book as soon as you can. It's life-transforming.

And in a way, the ideas contained therein did, just that but not in the way I thought it would. As a beginning, it rocks because those ideas challenged me to rethink the paradigm of "reality" that we have all built and agreed to, as how things are, rather than how we-us--the people who inhabit that construct, can re-imagine and recreate a different paradigm of non-competitiveness that benefits all of us, rather than some individuals and industrial complexes, in a simple, short work--designed to get you thinking. This is Western thought--as apparent in the title with allusions to "money," unfortunately. If you think it's "HOOEY," see the "Zeitgeist" movies then read some Krishnamurti for an Eastern perspective, just to get you started. THEN START THINKING. You may be inspired to action, or not, but DO think. "It's good for you son. Eat it!"

Arnold Patent is a uniquely superb teacher of the principles or Laws of the Universe that are constantly operating in our lives and which determine our life experience. His presentation is at once simple, compelling, empowering, and practical. To paraphrase the lawyer he once was, "Ignorance of Universal Laws is no excuse." They are always at work in our lives. We can ignore them or consciously choose to use them. If we want to change the life we're experiencing, You Can Have It All offers powerful insights and tools for change not belied by the striking simplicity of their presentation.My first encounter with Arnold Patent was hearing a recorded talk in 1985. It made a lasting and influential impression in my life that continues to this day. If you'd like to get an excellent preview of what this book is about, you can hear this talk at   If you like what you hear, I highly recommend this newly revised edition of You Can Have It All.

I read this book when I was a teenager (a long time ago) and it made a huge impact on me and still does to this day.It's hard to master all the ideas Patent talks about but understanding how doing what you love creates positive energy that reinforces everything and everyone around you is clearly an important concept to take to heart.Patent also has some good audio programming as well that goes into his concepts in greater depth. Although the core of his material is spiritual and religious it stuck with me because it was also so practical and pragmatic.The fact is by incorporating this thinking into your life you will be more successful in anything that you do.For those looking for another brick in house of completeness I'd recommend Everyday Zen by Charlotte Joko Beck.

I have read many books about human development, psychology, love, religion, sex and I have never before have found such a profound book. Out of a 204 pages book I got 19 pages of notes in a MS Word!This book is simply a gem by itself! It contains no filling mumbo jumbo, and goes straight to the point in every page and every line.Mr. Patent got to my field of view through a program called Abundance for Life from Learning Strategies. When I heard an interview, I knew that /I have to really dig into his work and believe me, I was in no way deceived!Many thanks Mr. Patent for such a great book that got into my life in a very crucial moment in time.

I have followed Arnold Patent before and his method will yield peace of mind and unbelievable results. The book is an easy read and one to keep for reference.

After having done vipassana meditation for some time, i was already aware of some of the concepts in this book. This is probably one of the first books i read of this type that is not written in a "spritual" or religous overtone. The biggest downfall in my opinion is the lack of detail on how to practice what is taught, which is best done under the direct guidance of a teacher rather than through a book. Nevertheless i recommend this book for most people.

Book was certainly an eye opener in its form of presentation. Although I felt like I was in a psych class, it was easy enough to understand. I would have never picked it out from the title - it is very misleading to the content, a friend recommended it. Basicly the over all theme is to let go of the "normal" taught strategies for making life become what you/I would like it to be like.

I bought this book expecting it to be the same old run-of-the-mill self help book but I was pleasantly surprised by the sincerity of the author and the layman terms used in order to get an important message across to the reader. One of the best books I have ever read.Delivery of the book was excellent received within a day because of my prime customer status. The book wasn't new but is in very good condition however, my only negative is that the previous reader had outlined a few passages in pen so be aware when you buy a book second hand.

Excellent book - gives the reader insight on what it is like to live your life and how you can acheive anything you like with a Balanced Brain.

Simply put this simple but powerful book can change your life.It has practical activities as well.Read without judgement.
