"And now for something completely different -- a self-help book that gives
us a radical, here-to-fore unthinkable, seemingly too-good-to-be-true path
to follow, finally acquiring what we all want out of life.
EXCUSE ME, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING is the book that promises to set the
self-improvement genre on its ear with this unorthodox theory: we create our
lives through how we feel. That's right, forget positive thinking,
visualization, mind over matter, and all those other well-worn cure-alls for
what ails the human race. What we feel is what we get!
EXCUSE ME, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING offers a welcome departure from the typical
self-help book in more than one way. Not only does it push readers to
question their long-held beliefs, it does so with an engaging wit and
candor. With a background that includes video production and seminar
presentation, Grabhorn knows how to tell a good story, to captivate her
audience, to make the unbelievable become believable. She is funny,
irreverent, and irrepressible, with a writing style that makes it seem as
thought she is speaking directly to each individual reader.
A definite thumbs up on this one!"

"Excuse me, your life is waiting" sat on my coffee table for about 4 months
before I read it. It was hard to talk myself into reading another
manifesting/"Law of Attraction" book, it's such a simple concept. Lynn
Grabhorn puts a couple new twists on the subject, and has plenty of
entertaining examples. I applied the concepts to my life and saw
improvements overnight. It was an easy read, I thoroughly enjoyed the book
and look forward to rereading some of the sections.
Why is the book 300 pages? Examples, plenty of them. Her style is a great
narrative that encompasses her life story and stories from participants.
They're all relevant and make the book and messages flow with ease. What
these anecdotes do is point out all the little pitfall you could experience
along the way. This is also the only downer in the book, how NOT to think or
feel prevails and often I was pepping myself up.
The most stressed point in the book is feeling your way through life. Both
listening to how you're feeling in each moment and creating day dreams to
find your motivations. Looking deep within yourself to find why you want the
money, to buy a car? Why do you want the car? Happier drive to work? Now
describe how it will feel to drive the car? Listening to the music, in the
cool air conditioning, smiling, cruising down the road.... feel your
happiness in this moment. These kinds of feelings are what she tries to pull
out of you over and over again.
As any book with a four step method that's applied to all aspects of your
life, it's repetitive and she uses the same words over and over again. It
will either drive the concepts home or annoy you. Lucky for you, she
presents three ways to lighten up your mood :-)
Five out Five Stars for bringing new life to a dry subject.
