The Power Is Within You Reviews
-
"...the simple things are usually the most profound."
Sometimes a book politely taps you on the shoulder, and says "here I am". For me, this was the right book at the right time. While "self help" books are no longer new and have become somewhat of an over-inflated phenomenon, it's nice to get back to one from an Author with integrity like Louise Hay.
I've read many of Louise Hay's books over the years, and find that her warmth and empathy shine through. For me, so much of what she writes makes sense re: the mind-body connection.
While many sections of this book didn't apply to me at all, the ones that did were well worth spending time to ponder over. It's good to slow down and take stock , to re-evaluate what's important, what's working. And what isn't. Are we where we want to be? And if not, why not. What's holding us back, and what are we doing about it?
Pause, reflect, re-wind, re-start. Breathe.
There's such a beautiful piece in the book where Louise suggests how marvelous it would be if teddy bears were given to all children in hospital. So that when they felt lonely or frightened, they would have a teddy to cuddle and make them feel safe. That was so poignant for me, as I recently had a dear friend have an unexpected hospital stay, and she mentioned how nice it would have been to have a "cuddle buddy" with her when friends and family had gone home. So teddy bears for everyone I say!
This book has a quiet positivity running through it, without being saccharine sweet or wishy washy. It simply asks us to dig deep. let go of regrets, be grateful for what we have, and to be kinder to ourselves and others. Our minds and thoughts have such an impact on our daily lives.
"When the student is ready, the teacher appears."
It's quite inspiring to think that though Louise Hay is no longer with us, her words continue to be read, absorbed and paid forward. That's got to be a good thing. A solid 3.5★ from me.
🍃"Allow yourself to accept good, whether you think you deserve it or not." 🍃 -
This is basically a simplistic version of
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind so I rather enjoyed it!
The premise itself is simple: Change your thoughts, and you can change your life.
It's about not seeing yourself as a victim but learning from every experience, whether good or bad.
It promotes gratitude, and the notion that what you put out into the universe comes back to you in kind, often magnified. So if you treat people like crap, guess how you're going to be treated?
I love this idea that our thoughts are the driving force behind what happens in our lives, and I work actively to alter mine every day. It's not about not having bad thoughts, but being able to recognise and alter them. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to want to be better.
One thing I noticed, though, is that this book assumes a lot about the reader, which I can see has been influenced by the author's own circumstances. The book seems to be aimed at an older readership - 50+ I would say. It does cover how to nurture children (skimmed it) but for the most part it seems to target that older readership.
It also seems to assume that every reader had a troubled childhood, with horrible parents. I found it really difficult because my childhood was actually pretty good, and my parents have been such incredibly supportive, loving role models. I've certainly overcome obstacles in my life, but I like to think I can still be a better person without having to overcome a dark past.
Overall, a really easy guide on how to begin changing your thoughts, and the benefits this behaviour will have on your life. Just be aware you may have to take some of it with a grain of salt. -

I absolutely adore Louise Hay's books. There are my go to in rough times and they always find me when I need them the most. I believe, if everyone on this planet would read her books, the world would be a better place. Enlightening, powerful and a must- read for everyone.

Volim što uvijek pronađem nešto za sebe, volim što je uvijek pozitivna, volim što kod nje nema predaje! Još više volim što mi je ova knjiga na polici!
„Ukoliko nismo spremni da se nečeg oslobodimo, jer, ustvari, zbog nekog razloga to želimo zadržati ili nam to na neki način koristi, ma što činili, nećemo uspjeti.“
„Postoji razlika između osuđivanja i vlastitog mišljenja. Mnoge od nas pitali su za sud o nečemu, a mi smo zapravo iznosili svoje mišljenje. Mišljenje je nešto što vi osjećate o nečemu... Ako vas netko upita za mišljenje, ne dopustite da to bude osuđivanje ili kritiziranje!“ -
I have learned so far so much about myself and my responses or non-responses to the past pain in my life - if you are experiencing depression, addiction, or grieving the loss of a loved-one, this is a book worth reading.

كتاب قابل أن يغير فيك الكثير من الأشياء ويغير رؤيتك للحياة وحتى لنفسك أيضا...

This book has given me strength in my life more times than I wish to admit. This time is no different.
This is one of those books that you have to reread periodically in certain stages of your life, just to remind yourself how strong you are and that nothing can actually take you down or make you feel down, despite you - yourself!
I truly believe in the amazing power of positive thinking, although I have to admit, sometimes in life it's just easier to stick to the bad. I'm so glad Louise wrote this book as a constant reminder that it doesn't take much of an effort to change the course of events happening around you in the positive direction. And I assure you this absolutely works no matter how weird this might sound. I have experienced this amazing power in my life not once, and I truly needed to turn to it at this moment I find myself in right now.
I wish everyone could read and follow the advices given in this book and really stick to the positive rather than the negative. And I support Louise's words that this should be studied in school before everything else. The world would be a better place this way. And I believe it's up to all of to make it one, for us and for everyone around us. This brings back in my mind the words of a Michael Jackson song Man in The Mirror saying: "If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change..."
I'm certainly making the change by finding The Power Within Me. Thank you Louise for always be there with this book, when I need you. You never disappoint <3 -
Gives good insight to oneself and how to perceive things in a more constructive and empathetic way. -
The power is within you is like cleaning for the soul.
Even if you don't like or agree with everything she does or thinks, you'll still be touched. I wish everyone would take a day and read this book. You feel positive energy while you reading it. -
أنا اعيش في عالم الامكانيات اللامتناهية،أجد الخير اينما اكون

في كتب التنميةالبشرية والـ self-help كل واحد بيشوف الكتاب ويقيمه على حسب تجربته الشخصية
الكتاب جميل وبسيط وواخد موضوعات مختلفة بأمثلة حية ... الموضوعات لمستني بصفة شخصية واستفدت منها جدا ... عجبني في المجمل
"الطبعة دي فيها أخطاء أملائية كتيرة ودي اكتر حاجة كانت مضيقاني" -

4.5 stars
I started reading this book the day after its writer Louise Hay passed away at (30.8.2017) .. i owned it months before and at that day i felt its time to read her book and revive her soul that lies within the lines she left for us .. it has been with me for three months filling me up with the power of love every time i read it .. Thank u Louise Hay from heart ❤️
“You are not here to please other people or to live your lives their way. You can only live it your own way and walk your own pathway. You have come to fulfill yourself and express love on the deepest level. You are here to learn and grow and to absorb and project compassion and understanding. When you leave the planet, you don’t take your relationship or your automobile or your bank account or your job with you. The only thing you take is your capacity to love!“ -
Wer sich gerne mit sich selbst, seiner Seele und seinem Innern beschäftigen und auch mehr über sich und sein "wahres" Wesen erfahren möchte, der sollte dieses Buch nicht auslassen. Dieses Buch zeigt, ohne abgehoben zu sein, wie man sich selbst in die Lage versetzen kann, mehr auf seine innere Stimme zu hören, mehr auf seine eigene Kraft zu vertrauen, um sich so zunehmend vom Außen unabhängig zu machen und stattdessen Authentizität aufzubauen.
Themen sind das Bewusstwerden der eigenen Person, die Selbstliebe, innere Barrieren auflösen, die Vergangenheit positiv zurücklassen und das Anwenden des eigenen inneren Wissens.
Ich kann das Buch nur empfehlen. Mich hat es auf meinem Weg positiv verstärkend begleitet, ohne mir die reale Bodenhaftung zu nehmen. -
While I enjoyed some of the ideas of Louise Hay, others were a bit strange to me (probably because the author is a member or follower of Religious Science). I still took away some good advice from the book.

من أجمل افتتاحيات الكتب و هي أكثر ما حمسني لاكماله
الكاتبة كانت صادقة جدا في سرد تجربتها و تعلمها لهذه الأساليب التي أوردتها في الكتاب
لم يكن كتابا يغمره التفاؤل بل كان للحزن و للخيبة جزءا كبيرمنه و مع هذا كان لطيفا و إن لم يقدم لي الكثير. -
The book took me in a journey of self discovery and yet there are many concepts to comprehend to reach peace from within.
Louise prescribes that the power to live and choose the way we live comes from within, when we solve all the issues and past dreadful experiences we went through and release them , we can have the life we deserve and want!
I listen to Louise’s books in the morning while commuting to work as they give me the right mindset to start my day!
Quotes i liked from the book:
The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives
Once we begin to make peace with ourselves on the inner level, life seems to flow much more pleasantly -
مقدمة الكتاب تُعطي مُرونة في تقبل ما يحتويه أو نقده أو حتى رفضه..
الكتاب على بساطته وعدم عمقه إلا أنه إضافة جيدة لمن يبحث عن فتح الطرق المؤدية إلى ذاته.
يحتوي على نصائح وتعليمات لا يصعب تطبيقها أو الأخذ بها.
قد تكون بعض الفقرات لهجتها سلبية تجاه الأهل، وقد يكون ذلك مستقهما من الكاتبة.. خصوصاً أنها أشارت مراراً وتكراراً لما عانت منه في طفولتها، ولكنها لم تكن سوى كلمات أتت في السياق لا تؤثر على هدف الكتاب ولا تُجبر القارىء أن يقبلها ويعممها.
اضافة جيدة للقارئين في مجال التنمية الذاتية والتنمية البشرية. -
To be perfectly honest I had never bee into self help books, specially because of their reputation. Anyways, fast forward, 2020 and a global pandemic hits so now I have a book membership I need to use and only about 6-7 available books.
Why not give it a go and see how you feel about it? You know, never know it until you try it. So I did the inevitable: *fast forwards 3 minutes * I tried it.
I enjoyed the book, it was a light read. Took me about two weeks, some chapters were definitely better than others. Loved the idea of the wounded child inside of us, I actually did take her advice and have become an overall more positive person since and just shifted my perspective on a lot of things. I also really enjoyed the part about being environmentally conscious as I do agree we are one with the environment and, yes, we do have to take care of the planet.
Here is my problem, the whole part about diseases being provoked by people, and hereditary diseases by children... yes, that was a HUGE slap in the face, and bear with me here because I am a medical student and I felt downright offended, because I know a lot of patients with cancer and they are extremely self less and overall some of the best people to exist. To say that a horrible disease like cancer or children born handicapped was a deserved answer from the universe made me want to drop the book right there. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to assume disease is a choice, specially auto immune or genetic ones where more often than not people can't prevent was just extremely rude, people with these kind of diseases already feel desperate and are in a lot of pain. On top of that to blame them is just downright cruel. This is the reason I did not give this book 5 stars. -
DNF. My Mom is a Huge Louise Hay fan,long before I got into self help and new age books,she was devouring all of them and constantly rereading Mrs Hay. Every author that I love in the genre is published by Hay House and so I think I had profound expectations about Louise Hay's writing when I went into this.
I didn't like her writing style. I didn't find her writing to be empowering, inspiring or uplifting,my soul didn't soar with joy the way it does with other authors. She talked about sickness and cancer and depression non-stop and for someone who knew about law of attraction so well,how did she not see her emphasis was almost entirely on Unwanted. It was also just dry and very lacking in depth, she'd mention a technique or something and then recommend another book to learn it from,it felt like she didn't explain fully anything herself.
I read this one first because my Mom had put it in a thrift shop bag to go and I wanted to read it first,so since both Mom and I didn't like it, perhaps it's just her worst book. I'll try reading mom's favourites! Definitely not in the realm of Abraham Hicks or other authors published by Hay House. -
Louise L. Hay é uma autora de livros de desenvolvimento pessoal muito conhecida e cujo método inspira milhões de pessoas por todo o mundo. Assenta numa pedra basilar muito simples: amarmo-nos a nós próprios e difundir esse amor incondicional pelo que nos rodeia. Pensar positivo, ter uma atitude positiva e emocionalmente equilibrada pode ajudar a enfrentar o dia-a-dia com mais serenidade e ajudar a crescer emocional e espiritualmente, a ingressar numa viagem interior gratificante.
"Os astrólogos afirmam que estamos a sair da Era de Peixes e a passar para a Era de Aquário. Na Era de Peixes víamos nos outros a nossa tábua de salvação. Queríamos que os outros nos salvassem. Na Era de Aquário em que estamos a entrar, as pessoas começam a virar-se para dentro e a reconhecer que têm a capacidade de se salvar a si próprias." (p.219) -
It was the first book ive read after ages.So it took bit longer to get it and feel it truly.I had misunderstandings and confusion i dont know why because of the translation problems or i couldnt comprehend.This is why this kind of books should be read twice.I love the parts that saying;
1.Look at the mirror and say "I love you" to yourself.
2.Listen more.
3.Realize your strenght parts and enhance it.
4.Don't use negative words,swears.
5.Be thankful to the things you dont like so that there will be something better.
6.Doubt is not an enemy,its a friend.
As i said before I love Louise is always honest and not commercial-like famous gurus and i love her for that.

قرأت الكتاب باللغه العربيه ، وجدت فيه بعض النرجسيه ، ولكن هذا لا ينافي اُسلوب الكاتبه الرائع في إيصال فكره حب الذات ، لم تكن ماده الكتاب جافه ، شعرت ان ماده الكتاب مكررة ربما بسبب قرائتي لكتب الدكتور ابراهيم الفقي التي تجعل الشخص واثقا بنفسه و لا يحتاج الى نصيحه في حب ذاته ، أصنف هذا الكتاب ضمن الكتب التي قد تنفع لمن هم في بدايه مسيره القراءة ، ثلاث نجمات. ، اثنتان للرائعه لويس ل هاي ، و الثالثه لاقكارها و قوتها في تخطي عقبات حياتها( السرطان و الاعتداء الجنسي)
كل الحب ❤️ -
What i like about Louise Hay books are its simplicity writings and personal feelings i get reading them. I have read " How to Heal Your Life" prior to this and i feel that this book is an extension or a supplement reading to it. I have enjoyed it and i hope you do to.
-
4.5 stars. Audio read by the author, Louise Hay. I love her gentle and soothing voice. A companion book of sorts to You Can Heal Your Life as it reaffirms the lessons learned in it and provided you with a few more.
-
I read this book 2 times in one week. It had so much content that I was ready to hear. Louise Hay writes in a way that is very simple to understand yet has a huge impact on the self and the planet.
