The Magic Mala: A Story That Changes Lives Kindle Edition

I wanted to love this book, because I think it's so important to have more spiritual novels in the world. Given the excellent reviews, for the most part, I thought this would be right up my alley. Unfortunately, the story comes across as too simple, too preachy, and the characters do not have to face any obstacles.Everything just sails on, as if the novel would have been written by a 15-year old. I also found the wife quite dumb and irresponsible. They don't have money to eat anything but mac and cheese from a box, but she goes out and has a sundae? And they owe several months of rent, but she signs up for a new apartment and just thinks it's OK not to pay her current landlord?I understand the thought behind it - have faith and everything will work out. BUT, this faith should not include scamming and cheating other people. The universe (or God) doesn't work that way. you have to act in the best interest of all involved.This book would have been much better as non-fiction. Unless you're new to spirituality, this book will definitely not change your life.

I didn't expect much from this book except applying the law of attraction by affirmations from the mala but was I wrong. It described in detail how it works and explains scenarios of how to use it. I meditate and also do affirmations but it is not enough, this book which I bought gives it the final punch to manifesting. Just knowing the law of attraction is not enough. Knowing how to use the mala in conjunction with LOA seals the deal. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Magic Mala". I just couldn't wait to turn the next page, I was engrossed in the book. This is a very inspiring and uplifting book. I plan on introducing this book to the book club I just joined. I also plan on buying the book for friends. For me to miss a Seinfeld episode to want to read this book means that I REALLY enjoyed reading it. lol I read it in no time, not wanting it to end. I highly recommend it.

This book has really opened my eyes to many new ways of working with my mala. I made a string of prayer beads --mala-- a few years ago for myself. Made it for stress relief and to work with mantras and the Divine Feminine. I love my mala even though it is quite simple - not a fancy beaded one-used what I had which was all I could get. I know from using it how much it helped my health and mind. Your book though has given me so many new ideas! I'm excited to practice them. This does remind of the Celestine Prophecy, like that book this too is a spiritual adventure. Thank you for writing it and sharing wisdom in a great story format.

I started reciting and contemplating the Mala a couple years ago, after having been looking at them and researching their meditative intelligence, online. At the end of two years, I was able to look at my self as the excited and enthusiastic 40-day Mala-blessed beads consort ... But I didn't know what I was missing and seeking in my mantra-meetings with the Divine until I read the Mala lessons that are told in Bob Olson's bedside table-necessary-book, THE MAGIC MALA.I had had the list of mantras, and their meanings, along with learning about the energies of the stones or bones used to string and not them by hand. What I didn't have were lessons in prayer and communication of mind that deepen the energies realized and created when one may find herself connecting with her Mala beads.I have been listening to Bob for years via his online show, Afterlife TV with Bob Olson, and have discovered great lessons and reads from the books of his guests. That being said, I am so glad he let us know what a great story teller he is by writing and publishing this novel of fiction. All those years of talking with people as an investigative reporter have given him the gift of conversation, and I am looking forward to more books from him.(BTW, I also have his book, ANSWERS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE which is a wonderful book, also.)

The Magic Mala is one of those books that chose me. As a lifelong spiritual student, teacher and coach, new takes on familiar themes like manifestation, usually don't excite me. I couldn't put this story down! And in the middle, I ordered two more books for friends and told others about it. The Magic Mala is not only engrossing, extremely well written and edited but it also delivers the story of personal creative power in an enjoyable and easy to understand way. As I told another friend about the Mala beads she said, "Oh I used to make those... let me make some for you." Really?Mr. Olson is a gifted storyteller with characters I care about and the ups and downs of Robby Robinson as he learns of his inner power, are totally believable. Bravo ! Well done. And you can bet I'll be buying and recommending this book to many others.

This book was not what I expected. This book is more on manifestation and limited beliefs. I’ve already been reading a lot about the topic, so I didn’t really get anything from this other than I really truly do want a mala- in fact I manifested one for free (it’s currently being made for me). I got this book because I recently have been wanting a mala. Overall the book is good and a great pick me up for anyone who is going through hard times. Would have loved this 1-2 years ago.

After reading this book I felt like I could take on the world. I am a positive soul most days and give my woes to God. I do believe without a doubt, everything for a reason, I am where I'm suppose to be. This wonderful fun read provided me with a realignment of my mind and a my heart an extra beat. What I've learned is that I need to learn to meditate. Slowing down my thoughts will be my new challenge. Happy reading

What a phenomenal read! It awakened some things I’d known but had forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life and living. It has also taught me new things and made me think about And re-evaluate myself and my life in general. I am on my second read now as it’s so good and this time I’m taking notes! Thank you so much Bob Olson, this book has been my companion in lockdown and is helping me through it. Highly recommended especially in the midst of a pandemic! It WILL make you feel better! It’s a book that can change lives and is already doing so with my life

Just what I needed right now. Love the versatility and flow of the ideas presented. I was beginning to develop a Law of Attraction phobia but reading this magical book gave me a new perspective on how things really work and the added perspective from Philosophy and Metaphysics brings it home. A must read for all!

I have been studying metaphysics for a few years now and must have read 100s of books on manifestation and positive thinking. This book is one of the best and easiest books I've ever read for changing your life. You Will not regret buying this book.

Thank You Very Much! I found the book very easy to read and also both empowering and entertaining. Bob Olson's benevolence is so naturally shining through the text, making the reading a blessed experience.
