| Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions, and Attract the Life of Your Dreams by Hay House Your Destiny Switch | I liked it well enough to get one for my sister.
It can show you a lot about your self. | | Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions, and Attract the Life of Your Dreams by Hay House Just another on the band wagon. | Knowing the author does no handle criticism to well, I will try to be easy on my review.
First, I don't see any educational credits entitled to the author. She tackles "emotions and feelings" as her modem in creating a personal destiny of one's life. Not seeing any form of academic degree in the field of psychology, sociology, neurosciences, or even biology, her viewpoint is her experience and not one of academic understanding. I would recommend to Ms McColl THE FEELING OF WHAT HAPPENS by Antonio Damasio so that she might clarify, sort out, and even understand the differences between emotions and feelings. So, this book does not fall under any heading or listing in social sciences, ie psychology,sociology, etc.. (type Tags on Amazon)
The book seems void of any true connection to spirituality and avoids any connection to religious affiliation, but does in instances use several passages taken from Bhuddism for example and a glancing mention or so in citing God. So I do not qualify this book within the genre of either Spirituality or Religion (type Tags on Amazon) because there seems no basis upon either.
The book reads more like an autobiographical account of Ms McColls personal journey from "there to here", as she exemplifies from where she was to where she is now and owes her woes and triumphs to her mastery of her emotions and/or the lack thereof, and how you too can do it. I believe she still has many issues and it a good thing she has connected with the spiritual group of writers/authors she is now affiliated with. This may indeed be her destiny so that she may finally find peace in her life and forgive the past.
I have issue with page 36,"....no one is responsible for your feelings--ever." This is psychology pablum which has been so maligned that its main purpose is a defense tactic used by those who do indeed hurt others emotions or feelings. Does not a marriage include some responsibility to the emotions of each partner? Is it not irresponsible to have an affair outside of the marriage knowing if one is "caught" that you may have emotionally devastated your partner? Isn't that responsibility for my feelings one of the things marriage brings into it? Perhaps Ms McColl is drawing from personal experience here and at some point it was her defense. She mentions low self esteem and how it can be produced through childhood upbringing wherein parents say things that hurt ones emotions. Doesn't a parent have some responsibility in the emotional upbringing of that child? This statement demonstrates a lack of understanding into emotions and feelings, and the responsibility thereof.
Pg 45 "Allow yourself to experience anger and you'll soon realize that you're also feeling sad, disconnected, and emotionally impoverished." Not always true. Anger can be "positive". It can be a "motivator". Wasn't the Boston Tea Party an act out of anger towards British rule and authority, "No taxation without representation"? Without anger, we would not have fought for our independence from England. (Ms McColl might not understand this example being Canadian, so this is for the American readers of this review.) Anger can produce positive results not associated with sadness, disconnectedness, or emotional impoverishment.
Bottom line. Ms McColl is a motivational speaker, period. She also has mastered the art of salesmanship which goes hand-in-hand with motivational speaking engagements and sales thereof. This is a book that promotes and supports her cause and business ventures, which inturn is how she makes a living. I feel she has attached herself into the loop of other authors and motivational speakers and would find it hard pressed to stand on her own so successfully without them. To get Neale Donald Walsh to write the Foreward was an outstanding marketing tool. She is business first, motivational speaker second. The book offers a positive perspective along with a self help format seen in many other books of this nature. It fits in with the recent "create your day" theme that seems to have hit the spiritual trail as of late. But, I do not find it outstanding or anything new. It is however, another way, and this may work as a tool for some. No harm in that and a good thing. But for all the acclaim, it is a let down in context and content. This is a mediocre book at best, but an excellent demonstration of what marketing can do and what she offers on her website. My vote goes not to the book, but to her marketing skills as she would be my pick if I were to put a book out on the market myself. Thumbs down for the book, thumbs up for capitalism. | | Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions, and Attract the Life of Your Dreams by Hay House Has HAY HOUSE sold out | I was a fan of HAY HOUSE and their authors until I began to see how the cross promote. Using many authors create lavish 5 star reviews when they might never have read the book. I have lost all trust in the opinion of the fluff reviews by HAY HOUSE authors and it has caused me to NOT purchase books by them and wait for the general public review the book.
I gave this book a 1 because I would like to see HAY HOUSE remove their paid and not paid author reviews removed so we will have a fair star system and honest reviews to read.HAY HOUSE and the AUTHORS have abused this system and have taken away your integrity. I hope you clean up your practice. | | Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions, and Attract the Life of Your Dreams by Hay House Your Destiny Switch | | Easy read, basic concepts to reflect upon your life, great list of emotions, some good ideas that can be applied to your own life | | Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions, and Attract the Life of Your Dreams by Hay House walking the walk... | In this book, Peggy McColl provides "illuminators" which light the way to being conscious of how your thoughts often unconsciously impact your life and happiness along with a multitude of insights which guide you step-by-step in "switching" to new emotional habits to create a potential life of mastery filled with joy and abundance. As one who has "been on the path" for over 20 years and has come to understand the power of creating my reality, I found the book's "illuminator tools" to be helpful resources in more effectively working with the concept of feelings. Just a few of the "illuminators" in the book that I found helpful are the concepts of writing a "power life script", creating an identity board and visualizing "the life of your dreams experience." You, personally, may find others even more helpful. There is much power in working with your feelings as a creation tool which is the core concept of this book. To find out more about the book and how these concepts work, I would recommend that you go to the website yourdestinyswitch dot com as I did and see the tools that the author has set up for you to use like the "free emotional analysis." I especially liked having the opportunity to feel the energy of who she is and real world ideas about how switching works by listening to a couple of radio interviews she did that are posted under Destiny News on her website. If you feel like you need to gain more awareness in working with your feelings and understanding them, I highly recommend that you "go deeper" by studying this book to work with your emotions as a way to attract and create the life of your dreams.
I also highly recommend the book Understanding: Train of Thought. | | Your Destiny Switch: Master Your Key Emotions, and Attract the Life of Your Dreams by Hay House Product Description | Your Destiny Switch isn’t just another self-help book. It’s a powerful concept and process that can consciously and creatively transform your life. You could call it a paradigm shift in creative consciousness, a shift that speaks to your demand for a richer and more experiential engagement in your quest for growth. More than a book, Your Destiny Switch allows you to balance your key emotions in order to reach your destiny.
Peggy McColl supports this work with a wealth of reference materials that provide an abundance of valuable and usable life-changing tools: state-shifters, the scale of human emotions, performance indicators, measurement tools, and a daily and weekly destiny planner. This book will help you understand your own creative power by way of your emotions and, more important, show you how to use this power to create desired results by tapping into a powerful energy source within.
