Living with Intention

The Science of Using Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World

By: Lynne McTaggart

Narrated by: Lynne McTaggart

Is intention simply wishful thinking, or is it a force that can actually change the world around you? Nobody has made a more comprehensive investigation of the power of the mind to influence the universe than Lynne McTaggart. Her conclusion: Thought does shape reality, but much depends on how skillfully the thinker can use his or her intention. With Living with Intention, this groundbreaking author builds upon her findings from The Field to explore what makes mind-over-matter work, what can interfere with its effectiveness, and how you can use focused thought to enhance your life, help those around you, and transform your world.

Consciousness: the final frontier of physics...

"Individual studies neither prove nor disprove the power of intention," McTaggart explains, "but when we take the research as a whole, a remarkable picture of the truth begins to emerge." Her extensive research into the frontiers of science reveals that our understanding of what is physically possible is rapidly expanding to give us a new view of the universe, in which the role of consciousness is as important as the laws of physics. On Living with Intention, she lucidly presents the latest science from the quantum pioneers - and then shows you how to put these discoveries into action.

Learn the secrets of the "masters of intention".

By studying the common traits of "intention masters" from various traditions - such as Buddhist monks, Qigong experts, and intuitive healers - McTaggart has developed a series of practical techniques for getting the best results from your intentions. Now she shares her most reliable exercises for "powering up" your thoughts through visualization, focus, and surrender to the greater universal energy that is the true agent of manifesting your desires.

With Living with Intention, Lynne McTaggart provides an invaluable resource of information, practices, and scientifically based training for turning thought into reality - and unlocking your true human potential.

Great book!

Good learning experience. I highly recommend this book, it help me to see things in different ways.

Amazing

Such great material
It was especially important to me to hear the peace about powering up, and preparing for activities. Testing the quality of our own intention is the biofeedback if that will make us better.
Well the Scholarship is top shelf, this material is a bit like a dream. Thank you so much for all your commitment

A Different View - The Intention Experiments

Any additional comments?

An interesting view on intention from a more scientific perspective and not without useful spiritual efficacy. The Author presents findings from her research on the use of intention, participation in "Intention Experiments", and what appears to be the most effective way to utilize setting ones intention from a results oriented outlook. Not much in the way of New Age-y, what some might consider "woo woo", slant in this audio. Though I've not seen the actual data, the presentation gave me no cause to believe the results, both observed and quantifiable, would be suspect. There is an associated web site that includes some additional information which I have yet to review. Part of the presentation includes the actual steps which have seemed (again both quantified and observed) to produce the best results. Overall, probably best described as a Spirituality - Science link up type in the same vain as Dancing Wu Li Masters, though focused on intention.

Read by the Author, I found the presentation to be ok, nothing to write home about, but not irritating either. Suggest listening to the sample as some may not like the reading. For me, the information included was well worth overlooking that the reading was a tad dry.

I found this audio book to be worth the credit and the listen.

Some Mexicans?

Any additional comments?

Everything was going great until I heard 'some Mexicans ', of curse referring to a fellow colleague scientist, I wish to believe she forgot their names.
But she did mention all the other authors name, last name & the experiments in the book.

Excellent. Well presented information.

This is an excellent "how-to" book. I've learned how to apply the principles of intention through this book. I'm thankful I have it on audio book. I listen to it in the car on long drives. This is a book I'll listen to several times for sure.

interesting ideas

has some good points provided for you to follow and learn new technology. I recommend this book.

Interesting beginning, but then quackery

I'm all for alternative healing, but when she says your doctor should lie to you about the seriousness of your medical conditions, especially life threatening one's, so that you won't feel bad, had to turn it off. In what world is that an ethical thing to do to the ill and their families. And no, I'm not paraphrasing, that's exactly what she wants doctors to do to their patients.

More of a long podcast

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The narrator did not seem to have practiced some of the lines. Some sentences seemed longer than she'd planned. It just seemed too casual. Also, the whole thing is just too pulpy. Maybe that's the wrong word. But I prefer Wayne Dyer and his very spiritual approach. This is a bit strange... she talks about buying devices (to neutralize ions or something in the air) to make an ideal occasion to send intentions out. It's just seems a bit too stereotypical-- reminiscent of old gypsies in movies with crystals and incense.

Has Living with Intention turned you off from other books in this genre?

A little bit.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrator?

Yes!

Narration

Could not get past the narrator’s palpable reading of the book with pauses at mid sentence. It was so distracting that it was difficult to listen to the information.

Regurgitation of Research

What would have made Living with Intention better?

This book is one research study after the other. I don't need convincing that intention works. I was expecting instructions on how to use the power of intention as the title states. The title should state research...This is not the book to turn to for help in how to use intention.

Has Living with Intention turned you off from other books in this genre?
