People want simplicity in their life. If you are clear about your wants and why you want them, the universe will help you achieve your wants.

I did find issues. Although there is humor throughout the book, there aren't any clear cut steps to follow. This author found a remarkable way to tell people to follow the Bible. It's repetitive and unrealistic. I can't recommend this one.

I gave this one 1 cheer out of 5 because it isn't worth the price. ~Copy of book provided by author and I voluntarily reviewed it.

About the Author:

With a degree in English, a second degree in Finance, and a Masters in Business Administration, Michael Samuels has attracted everything into his life because he followed successful people and their thought ideologies. His first book 'Just Ask the Universe' is ranked 4th in the world under Spiritual on Amazon and has sold over 100,000 copies. His second book 'The Universe-ity' won Best Self-Help book for 2013 Rebecca's Reads Choice Awards. Michael lives in New York with his wife and two children.

My Review:

Michael Samuels is known for searching the universe and feeling the calm therein. In each of his books, he has tried his best to inspire us all to look to our inner self to make our personal goals a reality. The author is able to give you a bare bones simple book on self help. I personally agree to find my hope in God, but Mr. Samuels seems to look at it a little differently than I. He is on a road to inspire you to be all that you can be and more. And most importantly not to let anything stop you, even if you seem to be running out of options.



**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the author.

Already an expert at obtaining his desires from the universe, prominent author Michael Samuels graciously continues to share his in-depth knowledge about applying the law of attraction to have a fulfilled life through his newest work Keep Calm and Ask On. Author Samuels is also the author of not one but two other prominent self-help/ spirituality books; Just Ask the Universe and Univers-ity.

Based on the principles of the law of attraction which is currently a hot topic in the world of the spiritualism this work offers a comforting, earthy and often humorous look at the law of attraction and its application in life. Presented in a fascinating but short read that is succinctly informative and entirely relatable, Samuels primarily postulates that the universe will give you want you want as long as you ask your desires in a simplified but specific manner. He supports his theory by citing examples from his personal experiences. Author Samuels seems to have an expert grasp on the nature of the Law of Attraction and writes in an appealing, comradic tone, which made this a truly engaging read.

I enjoyed Keep Calm and Ask On and recommend it to others seeking to have a more satisfying life.

It took me over two weeks to read this little book. I had to stop reading each time I sat down with it because I was so inspired. It made me go offline and think. It compelled me to take steps toward a goal I was letting sit and rot. I began a new blog and outlined a new book. I also began to think about the bigger picture of life: We can't just sit there and not work hard on our goals! Tadaaa! This book is filled with simple, no-nonsense, common sense advice to help you get your life in gear.

It's not very often a book strikes me as useful as this. I have sent two kindle copies off to friends that I think can benefit from it. I have kept mine to refer back to highlights. It's one of those that I need to buy in print so it sits with sticky notes adhered to the parts for which I need daily reminding.

"Keep Calm and Ask On: A No-Nonsense Guide to Fulfilling Your Dreams - A easy read. Michael Samuels wrote a very simple but fun book to follow on how to live a less stressful life and guide your own life, instead of letting your life just flow how it may. Live a more positive life and bring that positivity, not just positive thinking, but actual positive things into your life. He helps you not to be afraid to ask for positive things, for those those you WANT to happen in your life, no matter how big those things might be. I have always been one to "ask" for what I wanted but more as a side note, as an "one day perhaps". Since I read Mr. Samuels book I have changed the way I do my asking, and I have started to create more positive outcomes.

Not perfect, but close!

This is the fifth book I have read about the law of attraction. Most were clear, simple, and direct in explaining and delineating the elements of the law and the process of utilizing it for your benefit. I especially liked the "relaxed" presentation and the encouragement to remain "calm" while attempting to move forward in the process. The Universe (Source, God, Ground of Being) will not accept that we are very trusting if we cannot be calm while at the same time passionate and have faith in the process of attraction. I highly recommend this read especially to those who are new to this reality!

"Keep Calm and Ask On" is Michael Samuels third self-help book which he pens with a bit of humor. A fast read that is filled with great tips on positive thinking. His words just flow off the page in ways that makes it very understandable. On the three books that I have read by this author, this is by far my favorite and one that I tend to go back to for reinforcement. A highly recommend read for all.

I really believe this book goes hand in hand with the book "just ask the universe." Michael Samuel wonderfully covers "what" and "why" we should want things in our lives. i love certain aspects that he covered in this book, that i have read in none of the other laws of attraction books like laughter, music, keep calm, jealously, et al. pick this simple small book, read it and keep calm and ask on. :)

In few words what this book is about: If you ask the Universe for something then the question is why you want it. Write it down and answer the question: Why? Second is using music and creating playlists to connect with anything joyful and memorable. And then is to lift yourself up and smile, avoid negativity. That is the main core of this book.

It takes no time to read this. 104 pages, small book, big letters, you read well within a day.

Some positive suggestions

I choose this rating because even though there were some good ideas on manifesting your wants, it was too wordy.

Had to skim info to find what I wanted. Read like a novel not a self-help. Ideas in point from would have been more helpful.
