There are dozens of books, if not hundreds, on the market to help you achieve success and make all of your goals obtainable. However, most are pretty much claptrap that you've already heard before and few offer any real advice that you couldn't get for free. Let's see if Harmonic Wealth can buck that trend and provide some solid information that will help you in your quest to lose weight and get your life back on track.Most of us want to improve ourselves in some way, it's only human nature. We always want to be thinner, richer and happier, and the book world caters to these desires. Every year we get the latest and greatest, but few leave you satisfied and wanting more. We appreciated the way that Ray cut through all of the mumbo jumbo and presented his take on the matter in a thoughtful and logical way, but we're really not sure there is anything new here.

However, there is a lot to be said for stating something in a way that makes sense. Basically Ray contends that you have the power to slim down, change your life and get richer, you just need to unlock that desire and put it to work. Thankfully, this wasn't a book about instructing the "Universe" on how to get what you want, but it does pull heavily from a lot of the ideas contained in that famous and controversial theory.

We appreciated that the author was very practical in presenting the information and that his writing will undoubtedly empower many people to take control of their lives. However, it's hard to shake the feeling that the author is merely capitalizing on the success of the "The Secret" and finding a way to make the same theory work in a different way. There is nothing wrong with that per-se, but it's falling back into that same trap of repurposing information and selling it in a new way.

Bottom line, if you're looking for a kick in the pants that will help you get your life back on track, you can merely look within and find all of that desire right there. Whether or not you put it into action is up to you. This book may help you find that answer and help motivate you to start building a plan of action. However, if you're expecting to start collecting money with your mental static electricity, it's best to be more realistic. For one, get the best credit card you can... check out these credit card recommendations.

Like anything in life, weight loss and wealth take a lot of work and a lot of devotion. If you don't have that, you may never achieve your goals. If you do, do you really need a book to tell you how to do it? It's an interesting read, and for some, it may be the answer. We just couldn't get past the fact that we've heard it all before, even if it was put in a little different way.
