It Works by RHJ is a short book, pamphlet really, on the Law of Attraction. I was fortunate enough to pick up the deluxe version that not only had the text of the original work, but also a PDF of the way it appeared in its first printing.
A short chapter was also included that discussed the nearly anonymous author. No spoilers here.
I’ve read a lot of New Age/New Thought material, but I focused on this one because a certain loved one of mine is struggling. I won’t mention him by name because he says that I talk about him too much in my reviews.
He was laid off from a job that he enjoyed, had worked at for more than a decade, and he hasn’t found anything else yet to occupy his time. Part of the trouble, I think, is that he doesn’t know what he wants in a new occupation. It Works addresses that directly.
The mechanics of it are simple. Make a list of what you want, think about it every day, don’t tell anybody that you’re doing it. The assumption is that there is a force beyond our comprehension that responds to our thoughts and directs our lives based on what we choose to turn our thoughts toward.
To be fair, this is a very short description of the mysteries of life, viewed through a materialistic lens. Much has been said about the Law of Attraction to put it mildly. Personally, I think many have put aside their critical thinking about the topic, relying instead on the promises of those who claim to have such knowledge and use it every day to build their own fortunes.
