As I reluctantly continued to read, I was surprised to see a shift by the time I got to the middle of the book. Suddenly, George starts offering real advice. She breaks down the different kinds of companies (small, large, privately owned, etc.) She discusses how to format a resume and cover letter, even providing examples. She mentions the advantages and disadvantages of various interview sites, and even offers advice on when to call back to follow up. This was the information for which I was waiting.
Oh sure, she still mentions energy here and there, but I was relieved that George finally got into the real reason people might be interested in her book- to look for a job. It's a shame that she took about 100 pages to get there. Unfortunately, during the last couple of chapters George returns to the metaphysical stuff, but I guess it's to complete the cycle since she began the book talking about it.
There are countless books out there that offer great advice for job seekers. This is not one of them. It could have been though, had George left out all the metaphysical properties. While this Law of Attraction stuff may have been more suitable for people trying to improve their outlook on life, it doesn't fit in terms of job searching.
People who need help looking for a job benefit from grounded, real advice. They want to know the best job search engines to use. They want to know the best way to format their resume and cover letter. They want to know what potential interview questions may arise so they can prepare for them. They don't want to worry if they're sending "good vibrations" through their resume.

I haven't read the book, just the review. Here are some "real" law of attraction ideas, though.
Volunteer at something you love to do. Good for resume building, getting noticed and doing good.
Send thank you notes to those who have helped you. That makes you feel "swell" and get you noticed. Networking for giving & getting works wonders for job leads. Thanks. mjt

Marilyn- Thank you for your comment and for concrete examples of the Law of Attraction. Your examples made more sense that the ones offered in the book.
