Notes from the Universe: New Perspectives from an Old Friend

by Mike Dooley

Overview

What if the Universe were to send you frequent reminders of the absolute power you have over your life? Author Mike Dooley, an interpreter for the Universe, has done exactly that in Notes from the Universe—a collection of empowering, invaluable truths that can be read front to back or opened at random.



This first book in the Notes from the Universe trilogy teaches its readers to live a life far richer than they had previously thought imaginable.

The Universe is here to remind us that we are in control. To have the life you desire, all you have to do is ask. The secret to manifesting change is not focusing on the how but instead, the end result of what you’re after—the kind of life you want. Then, once you are truly focused, the Universe will conspire on your behalf.

Author Mike Dooley has turned over every stone, knocked on every door, and followed every impulse. He has immersed himself in the truths he needed to hear most; these were the kind of lessons he wrote about in his weekly emails. What started in 1998 as a little poem sent out once a week to 38 email addresses has evolved into an inspiring anecdote delivered to over 300,000 subscribers from 169 countries, each receiving a new note from the Universe five days a week. Mike Dooley serves as an interpreter for the Universe.

Notes from the Universe begins a three-volume set that is brimful with powerful affirmations that will have you thinking positively, feeling confident, and walking the path to personal success.

When readers discover the truths the Universe is unveiling in Notes from the Universe,they will begin living happier, more fulfilling lives.

Read an Excerpt

It's easy to look around at all the people who already have what you want, notice how they differ from you, and then think that they are the "kind of people" for whom having what you want, comes naturally. Whereas you are not, otherwise you'd have it too.

Very rational thinking, and a super way for non-adventurers to avoid responsibility, rest on the sidelines, and watch more TV.

Adventurers, on the other hand, understand that they are exactly the kind of people who should have the things they want, otherwise, they wouldn't be blessed with wanting them.

There's nothing you can ask for that won't set the entire Universe in motion.

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

You wouldn't believe the stuff people think they want.

Just the other day someone was asking for a llama.

Nothing wrong with llamas, I have a few myself, but the llama he wants is supposed to help him with his business; schlepping stuff over mountains, they're good for that.

Now, why do you suppose he didn't just ask for a pickup truck?

Trust me, he could've asked for a pickup truck, and he'd have been a lot happier.

So... I'm off to the bazaar. In the meantime, should you need anything, please, be sure to ask for what you really want.

From the Publisher

"Mike Dooley's Notes from the Universe have charged my day with absolute joy more times than I can remember."

Rhonda Byrne

Dooley’s work is a compilation of daily emails sent to a subscriber list under the nom de plume of "The Universe." It’s a collection of short takes on positive thinking and self-esteem, and as such they’re timeless. They’re also monotonously list-like. But superior audio delivery and musical segues help redeem the work. Mike Dooley is one of those authors who can read their own work well. His passion flows from his writing into his reading. This is a strange work indeed, so take it in small bites. All in all, it’s a good listen for those who understand that repetition is the soul of learning and that focus on the positive tends to generate more of the same.
