To Live the Life of Riley by Elke Reihl

Based on ideas in the bestseller "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne this ebook offers an analysis of our reality which will lead to a reorientation thus creating a belief in, and an understanding of, the fact that every individual is, by means of his own reflection and his own feelings, the creator of his own world of experience and therefore will be able to consciously master it. The practical realization dealing with "The law of Attraction" is dealt with more extensively and possible fallacies that might arise when doing so will be laid open. In an uncomplicated and easily comprehensible manner ways will be shown to shape one’s own life to the utmost positive degree, by proving among other things that our feelings are self-generated and therefore can be changed by ourselves at any time. It is the most expedient guide to self-help for everybody intending to live in inner contentment and fulfillment in every respect and thereby to be free and independent.
