Arielle Ford

Parts of this book were not to my liking at all. There's an entire chapter that seems to be devoted to your past life and how it interacts with the past life of your partner (or something like that -- I didn't read too much of it before deciding to move on to the next chapter). There's quite a bit of this rather woo-woo stuff that I could've just as easily skipped and never missed. If it were all this way, I would've given it 1 star.

And yet, there were interesting parts too. The anecdotes of other couples (the one where a woman decides her husband "sheds" just like her dog particularly comes to mind) were interesting and sometimes insightful. There are a few references to studies that actually have useful insights. For instance, did you know that on average, couples have 9 more or less irreconcilable differences? And the overall message that I gleaned from it -- treat your partner with love and respect, and your relationship will probably do well -- seems on target. (Even if it seems obvious, it never hurts to be reminded at times.)

So in summation, there are some useful and interesting messages in here, but you'll need to skip the hippy-dippy parts at times.… (mais)

I am so pleased to say I interviewed Arielle Ford for my book. She greatly added to the beginning part of the book on what to do to prepare for the relationship of your dreams.

In The Soulmate Secret, Ms. Ford discusses how to bring the person you want into your life by engaging the Law of Attraction. The way it works is that the Universe will bring you those things upon which you focus your attention.

If you focus on why you can't find a good man or woman, you will continue to have difficulty because the Universe wants to have what you focus on which is your lack of success in relationships.

Instead you want to take some of the steps I discussed in my article above and read Ms. Ford's book and put her suggestions into action. You too will be well on your way to manifesting your true soulmate.… (mais)
