The Power of Receiving

A Revolutionary Approach to Giving Yourself the Life You Want and Deserve

De: Amanda Owen

Narrado por: Rose Itzcovitz

Once in a blue moon an idea comes along that once heard seems so obvious that you wonder why somebody hasn't written about it before. Amanda Owen's The Power of Receiving: A Revolutionary Approach to Giving Yourself the Life You Want and Deserve presents a new paradigm for the 21st century - a philosophy that values receiving as much as giving and demonstrates that giving is enhanced when receiving is embraced. With the formula: Believe + Receive = Achieve, The Power of Receiving presents a wholly original yet easily accessible road map for people to follow, showing listeners how to restore balance to their over-extended lives and attract the life they desire and deserve.

Inspiring stories are featured about people who have experienced life-altering results after becoming skilled Receivers, including Ken who regained his hearing after a devastating hearing-loss, Julie who met the man she would later marry, and Don who received an extra $1,000 a month in his pay check.

Based on over 20 years of research into the nature of receptivity and its link to manifestation, The Power of Receiving offers a unique vision for anyone seeking to create greater reciprocity in their relationships and more harmony and abundance in their lives.

Learning to Say “Yes, Thank You”

For me, giving has always been easy. I’m generous with my time, energy, and attention. Probably too generous. But when it’s my turn to receive? I freeze. I deflect. I pretend I don’t need it, that I don’t even want it. This book reminded me that letting someone give, whether it’s a compliment, an insight, or an invitation to come closer, can be an act of generosity in itself.

“The Power of Receiving” is teaching me the art of receiving. Not passively waiting for life to deliver. But receptively, awake, open, and willing to let goodness come all the way in.

I’m learning to stop swatting away small pleasures. To open the door when the knock comes. To let a moment land exactly where it’s meant to…without the reflex to even the score or take the wheel. And that maybe, just maybe, my “no, you shouldn’t have” could be replaced with “mm… yes… you may.”

This book makes it clear: receiving is not passive. It’s… participation. It reminded me that receiving can be an act of respect for the giver, that it’s not about taking. It’s about allowing. I’m not fluent yet, but I like how this language feels when I speak it

WOW!!

Just great! A must have for all of us who want to grow happy!! Thanks!

Actual Genius

So many self-help books are the same regurgitated ideas repeated over and over and this book is the absolute opposite! The ideas in this book are NEW and working for me after only one week. I’m grateful to the author for imparting this wisdom. I’m recommending it to everyone I know.

Powerful and easy to integrate!

The seemingly simple concepts promise a wealth spring of benefit. The shifts are already beginning!

Receiving

This book definitely had some small bits of problematic but it has a general really good mindset/viewpoint to offer And the monster party personification exercise is super awesome and probably would work for me and I'm glad I found that

great read

great book that has powerful insight and practical knowledge. I am so glad I read this book

quite literally life changing.

I plan on studying this book because it has great exercises. it has taught me a lot and am grateful for all involved that has allowed me to come in contact with this book.

I enjoyed this book, but I need the physical to go along with it.

This book has some great insights into how we receive information and how to change our perspective to better our lives.

Amazing!!!!! Must Read.

This is a revisit and work through book. It’s not meant for consumption, but for integration through practice. Thank you Amanda Owen!

This skeptical reader pleasantly surprised!

If you could sum up The Power of Receiving in three words, what would they be?

Balanced, smart, currently applicable

Who was your favorite character and why?

The monsters! Because as much as we don't want to feel or even recognize our inhibited or painful feelings, we must if we are to ultimately improve.

Which scene was your favorite?

Inviting your monsters...at first it was a challenging concept for me, but then I paralleled it with feeling your feelings...coping skills - extraordinary example! Also, the discussion on begging for alms resonates with me still. I have no idea how I will embrace putting myself in that position, but I at least reference it often to keep me, at least, gracious when I'm angry or troubled.

What did you learn from The Power of Receiving that you would use in your daily life?

I've been using the tools since I've read it. Thank you without qualifiers, GRATITUDE, how to envision becoming a partner to your goal (loved that one!)

Any additional comments?

I'm skeptical of coaching and self-help. Not that I don't subscribe to their overall philosophies, but I find a lot of fluff above substance. Ms. Owen's book is NOT like that. I am so tickled that I read/listened to it. I listened to it over like 3 times to get the concepts and practices in my brain. I've learned and improved and I'm thanking her in person next time I see her!
