Some wise words from How to Get What You Want and Want What You Have
Your experience of the world reflects your inner state.
Whenever you are not getting what you need, you are always looking in the wrong direction.
Find your soul’s desire, and start getting everything you want.
Material success can only make you happy if you are already happy.
The power to get what you want comes from confidence, positive felling, and desire.
You have the power to change. No one else can do it for you.What you want materially and what you want spiritually are both important, says John Gray, Ph.D., in How to Get What You Want and Want What You Have. “Wanting more is the nature of our soul, mind, heart, and senses,” he says. As an antidote of sorts to the sometimes overly strict books of late that advocate a life of utter simplicity, he concedes that it’s okay to want a big promotion or fancy car. It’s also noble to want a solid spiritual life and to want to be at peace with yourself. However, he says, you need to recognize and work on the many self-defeating behaviors that may be thwarting your chances for reaching your goals. In fact, he identifies 24 typical stumbling blocks to look for.
How to Get What You Want and Want What You Have is perfect for the ostensibly successful businesspeople who can’t explain why they’re miserable, or people who blame their partners for their miseries instead of looking inward. It’s filled with anecdotes and tools to help you achieve a fuller sense of identity. Gray says that one of the most important steps to reaching this level of self-awareness is meditation, and Gray gives dozens of stepping-off points for meditation exercises to help you ascertain what exactly it is that you want, and how to remove any obstacles–whether external or internal. Take it from a man who used to be so ascetic that he was rendered homeless but now has achieved a strong sense of self and has managed to write nine bestselling books: both spiritual and material success are within your grasp.

This brilliantly original and practical system for parenting children is the brainchild of John Gray, whose Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus books and seminars have helped millions of adults communicate more effectively and lovingly with each other. Based on this idea that children respond better to positive rather than negative reinforcement, the Children Are from Heaven program concentrates on rewarding, not punishing, children and fostering their innate desire to please their parents.
Central to this approach are the five positive messages your children need to learn again and again:
It’s okay to be different.
It’s okay to make mistakes.
It’s okay to express negative emotions.
It’s okay to want more.
It’s okay to say no, but remember Mom and Dad are the bosses.
Psychologist John Gray (he of Men Are from Mars… fame) cites a need to shift from “fear-based parenting” (a punitive and oppressive approach to child rearing) to “love-based parenting” (which accepts children’s desires and negative emotions while still setting reasonable limits). With child and teen violence increasing, rampant low self-esteem, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and attention deficit disorder, he says, “the Western free world is experiencing a crisis in parenting. Almost all parents today are questioning both the old and the new ways of parenting. Nothing seems to be working.”
He suggests “Five Messages of Positive Parenting” that will facilitate such a shift:
- It’s okay to be different.
- It’s okay to make mistakes.
- It’s okay to express negative emotions.
- It’s okay to want more.
- It’s okay to say no, but remember mom and dad are the bosses.
Although his parenting philosophy is not necessarily revolutionary (think “positive discipline”), Gray manages to keep this parenting primer contemporary by weaving in specific challenges of new-millennium families–such as our tendency to be consumer-driven and overscheduled. “When parents learn what their children really need, they are less motivated to create money to acquire things and more motivated to create time to enjoy their family,” Gray writes. “The greatest wealth for a parent today is time.” –Gail Hudson
