review 1: Why less is more, more often How to Rule the World from Your Couch , by Laura Day, is an unofficial follow-up to The Circle, where she writes more on the notion of energy as a method of shifting the forces of fate around you. In The Circle, Day listed that the second element of wish fulfillment is embodiment. Embodiment is defined as the ability to fortify your senses in such as way that your entire being feels as if your wish has come true. It’s like the expression, "I can almost taste it," when describing an imminent victory.Day does touch upon remote viewing and how one can use energetic states to attract a person for a romantic relationship. Remote viewing is a controversial topic and gets into New Age territory. This is the part of the book that makes it harder for ... morelogical minds to relate to.Like Day’s other books, she includes exercises and guided meditation practices to put her techniques to work. How to Rule the World from Your Couch overall is a practical and down-to-earth read. Hopefully there will be more sequels to The Circle soon.
review 2: When I first read the title of this book, the possibilities seemed endless. The fact that I won it as a first-read seemed like destiny was calling. The time seemed right to usher in a new age. I wondered what sort of uniforms my personal guard should wear. Would I be responsible for sorting out the Middle east or could I just send them to their rooms? Where should I situate my new capitol? So many decisions to make...Joking aside, this book was an odd read for me. It just didn't capture my attention. From the cover, you get the image of something that will let you make drastic changes in your life (if you want them). On the inside, there is a lot of the standard self help things that you need to do to improve your life, couched (no pun intended) in semi-metaphysical words like "telepathy" and "intuition." Most of the advice is what you would hear in other empowerment books. (e.g. "stop dwelling on past issues" becomes "don't allow people in your past to continue to telepathically hold conversations with you")One of the things that Ms. Day asks is that you follow her exercises and write things down, which I have done, but I haven't seen anything outside of my normal perceptions. I do believe in the power of the human mind and that it can provide many answers to us through "intuition," but felt that this book was so focused on getting what YOU want that it put down in places peoples belief in other things besides their own power. All in all, this is a decent self help book that could be good for many people. To me it felt like it couldn't decide wether it was a self empowerment book, a new age spirtuality book or a buisness guide. Maybe it could be all three to some people but not to me. I think the guards would need ceremonial swords, don't you? less
