Praise for Leveraging the Universe and Engaging the Magic
Mike is one of our most profound teachers today
"Mike is one of our most profound teachers today! He uses such levity and joy to share lessons that are vitally important in creating positive change in our lives!! I am someone still reaching for and living into my greatest dream...this book has reminded me not to look at my progress with my outer eye, but to know and believe and trust that every wonderful thing I have dreamed is in its way...well, only because I am turning over every stone I can!!"

this book is straight to the point, easy to read
"In true Mike Dooley style this book is straight to the point, easy to read, hard to put down and very easy to follow the "instructions" of the 7 steps. Mike has a sense of humour that is lovely and hits home with the truth as the same time. He also lets you into the 'secret' of how he himself managed to get to grips with leveraging the universe from when he was at rock bottom, unlike other authors who tell you they 'did it' but don't give you the "how they did it."

A true masterpiece with every brushstroke
"I am freed !... In two words... Divine Brilliance ! A true masterpiece with every brushstroke & the most In-lightening material I have read yet, so like Mike says... It's extreeemely likely you'll "see how you don't need any more CDs or books (after this one of course)" - Spiritually speaking. I can assure you, I have read a lot of material including that of Mike's & this surpases anything I have read thus far (or am likely to), but I say "read 'em all !"

Mike Dooley has truly given us a guide for living an inspiring life
"Mike Dooley has truly given us a guide for living an inspiring life. I especially like that he uses his own experiences to demonstrate what he is teaching. I cannot recommend Leveraging the Universe too highly. His 7 Steps to Engaging Life's Magic are a complete guide to creating what we wish to create in our lives. THANK YOU MIKE!"

I read this book and loved it... Mike is an excellent story teller
"As a longtime student of self-improvement, Law of Attraction and Metaphysics, I'm thrilled to say that I read this book and loved it. Mike is an excellent story teller and weaves in his personal experiences into the principals of Leveraging the Universe making the information easy to understand and apply."

This book is a step by step path to exactly what the title says
"This book is a step by step path to exactly what the title says. I have bought tons of systems and I am a "Tutter" and have found that Mike Dooley makes manifestation easy. I still struggle with the cursed "hows" but it is a great book to keep me on the path. It helps me to keep reality in front of me and to help me to get where I really want to go!!!! "

Leveraging the Universe tells how he did it and how anyone can do it
"Mike has been in the trenches with his dreams dashed, and yet he came back. Leveraging the Universe tells how he did it and how anyone can do it. I highly recommend it. It's as instructional as it is inspiring."
Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul
Leveraging the Universe challenges listeners to harness the world around them
"Leveraging the Universe challenges listeners to harness the world around them as a force for positive change. Dooley embraces spiritual concepts that fall into New Age categories, but he manages to eschew the ethereal trappings of a guru."
Publishers Weekly
Leveraging the Universe was a large stepping stone in my spiritual journey
"I listened over and over and Leveraging the Universe was a large stepping stone in my spiritual journey. I am truly thankful that it came to me at the proper time when I needed it most. That's how it works!"
K. Marsh
The more I read the clearer my own actions and thoughts became until I could clearly see exactly how I was holding myself back
"Since 2007 I have studied the law of attraction and tried every concievable way to conciously change my life through spiritual methods. But my victories were always short lived. I wound up broke, sick and frustrated. Out of sheer desperation I ordered this book, even though I needed the ten bucks for food. The first chapter was a little ethereal, but it only got better from there. Mike explains a simple shift in perspective that helped me feel better right away. The more I read the clearer my own actions and thoughts became until I could clearly see exactly how I was holding myself back. Now I can recognize and stop the thoughts that won't get me where I want to be. Mike then gives the reader simple exercises that help focus your thoughts, sustain your momentum, and delegate the hard stuff to God/the universe. I can look back on previous victories now and see why and how I was able to accomplish them. I have hope and excitement for the future again. This book is the key that unlocks a brilliant future."

you will do yourself a favor reading this book if you want to Leverage the Universe, live a joyous life with unlimited possibilities
"I am going through massive change in my life and it is all good. I have read Mikes book called Inlimited Possibilities (great read) and Leveraging the Universe is a smaller jet fueled book to give you that push when your mind is challenging everything you could possibly be doing, and also holding you back with thoughts that make one suffer. We are human, but Mike has this term that I love called "baby steps". I know what I eventually want that "End Result" Mikes says should be a constant companion yet visioning only 4 min at day and Please don't start spiraling into the cursed hows! I do this. I pick up the book (after I have read it many times) and open to a page knock myself in the head (lovingly) and say, "Of course!". Much has happened since I have read the book, and I am moving forward and fulfilling my dream, baby steps of course but I SEE it happening. AWesome read, you will do yourself a favor reading this book if you want to Leverage the Universe, live a joyous life with unlimited possibilities."

This is such an intriguing set of CD's
"This is such an intriguing set of CD's. The things that Mike introduces and the way he guides you in teaching yourself focus is amazing. I gained so much from listening the first time around and was absolutely amazed that I was learning even more the second time around. It is such a crucial learning tool after watching the DVD "The Secret". After reading listening to these things I was amazed when I was actually able to see how I had already been using the information in my life. (maybe not the way I wanted to but I could see it) I was able to see how I had made certain circumstances take place, wow was that a discovery!!! "

Leveraging the Universe is another one of Mike's gems
"I have been a Mike Dooly fan for years! I love his easy going style as well as his delightful humor. Leveraging the Universe is another one of Mike's gems. Mike explains in a joyful fun way that it is truly up to you to manifest what you want. We all manifest daily, hourly moment by moment. My question is are you playing to win or are you playing not to losse? Many of us, myself included (in a past life) played not to loose. Mike tells it how it is. Put your goals and dream out there, visualize them happening, and let the Universe show you the way! Decide to play to win, I guarantee you will amaze yourself! Keep up the great writting Mike! "

He's a fabulously, inspirational speaker
"I absolutely love Mike Dooley and I listen to this cd and his other ones, everytime I need a reminder or just a little kick to get me back to the frame of mind I need to be in so I can accomplish my goals. He's a fabulously, inspirational speaker and because of his 'down-to-earth' demeanor he's such a joy to listen to. Everyone can relate to Mike and he's also funny & entertaining, while he's telling you the basics facts of life the way we should have learned them from the beginning. It's unfortunate that we have to 'undo' everything we have been taught and learned through the years and keep it simple so that our thoughts can work for us, positively."

His books and tours are warm and winning, funny, charming, and enlightening
"Mike Dooley rocks....again and again. His books and tours are warm and winning, funny, charming, and enlightening. This book a mellowing, deepening and distilling of his message to the masses - your thoughts ARE things, and, by choosing to think the good ones, your life WILL change. It is inevitable. This 'gospel' (good news) is well formulated and delivered, and even sheds a lot of new and interesting light on once-familiar quotations and scripture. LEVERAGING THE UNIVERSE in easy to read and apply chunks. You could even read this on the subway! And your fellow passengers will appreciate the change in you, too! It's a How-To that dismisses 'the cursed how's', which is no mean accomplishment all by itself. This and more in LEVERAGING THE UNIVERSE. It's always a pleasure and a delight to read his work; thanks again, Mike! "

A beautifully explained reminder of our divinity and the power of thought
"Mike Dooley has given me renewed inspiration with the gems of wisdom in this book. I have already read it twice and done all the exercises. I will probably read it many more times. A beautifully explained reminder of our divinity and the power of thought!"
Betty I.
This is an excellent book written by a world class author
"This is an excellent book written by a world class author. It breaks complicated concepts into do-able, simple to understand processes. I have other books by this author. While the themes are similar, the content is different, and very valuable, in each one."
Donna R.
I like Mike Dooley's voice. His matter-of-fact delivery is inspirational
"I like Mike Dooley's voice. His matter-of-fact delivery is inspirational to the regular 'ol joes who are new at the realization of our thoughts becoming things. He is not in the camp of the "name it & claim it" with alot of positive affirmations."

The book is well structured, and Dooley's writing style is fresh, enthusiastic, approachable and enjoyable
"Leveraging the Universe is a quite a cool book for a LOA book. It has many of the teachings of the genre, less BS, but a lot of magic. Dooley mixes principles from the LOA (effortless manifestation) with 'old school' advise (take action) on how to get from where you are now to what you want. It is a win-win advice, a safe position for any author to stand on, and for any reader to act upon. The middle way is the wiser way. Old adages never die and never lie. The book is well structured, and Dooley's writing style is fresh, enthusiastic, approachable and enjoyable. Each chapter ends with a key summary of the main points discussed therein, something extremely helpful to re-read or revise the book without having to go through the bits that don't really matter. There are some exercises and journaling required, just if you want, to help you decide what you want and on your plan of action. One of the things I like the most in this book is that Dooley himself anticipates some of the queries and apparent contradictions the readers might come up with, so what he says feels congruent and organic despite its apparent incongruities. Clever! I especially liked how Dooley defines happiness: "True happiness is not contingent upon things happening in your life. Happiness is a state of mind. Happiness is an appreciation for life itself, for yourself, for where you are, no matter where you are." (p. 167)."

Follow the ideas in this book and you will not recognize your awesome new life in a matter of weeks or months
" I finally found out, why all my positive thinking and happy thoughts weren't enough to get where I wanted. This book will exactly show you what you have to do to get where you want to be. Even if you don't know where that is. So many people are searching for the true calling of their lives and get frustrated by not finding it. The point is, that staying at home, making lists of likes and dislikes, of pro's and con's will NOT get you there. It's starting something - anything - that will finally lead you there. Trusting in the Universe, or God, however you want to call the Greater Being, will help everyone. But only the person who actually get's off his behind and STARTS to do something, will get there. I will be forever grateful for this book. I hadn't even finished the book as I already found myself excited to live my new life, I had new ideas I never had before and one thing lead to another. People, long forgotten in my life, miraculously started showing up and I felt like I am in the center of a spiral pulling me towards fulfilness and happiness. Everything I had ever learned (I always went to school for something, took classes, online courses, both practical and spiritual) made suddenlty sense and I can use each and every little puzzle piece of my past efforts to get to where I want to be. Follow the ideas in this book and you will not recognize your awesome new life in a matter of weeks or months. "

He also deeply inspires us along the way
"Mike Dooley is a genius. He offers us very tangible and helpful techniques to manifest our dreams. He also deeply inspires us along the way. All in all, a fantastic book. I treasure this book. "

I cannot put into words how much I adore this man. He is indeed a natural born speaker
"I cannot put into words how much I adore this man. He is indeed a natural born speaker. Yet, he is human, something that many of the audio's that I have listened to do not addres those of us not so developed...he is self-deprecating. More than that he is funny. His sense of humor is good enough to make me laugh at 7 in the morning and make me walk into work as if I could take on the world. He does not just tell you that your thoughts became things, but that you have a responsibility for those thoughts. Just believing that and sitting on the couch waiting for a miracle is not going to work. For instance, if you knew that tomorrow would be the best day of your life and you were a fisherman, would you not do everything that could to get fish or would you just sit on the couch and wait for the fish to come? That is pretty strange as he states. Throw a ball to the Universe, it may not seem to make a difference at the time, but you never know until you throw the ball. What about you decide on the one person who will be your soul mate? You know what 20 or 30 people? The Universe knows 30 billion, let it decide. I encourage anyone to listen to Mike, he can make you laugh and feel better about yourself as well."

Mike Dooley takes metaphysical self-awareness back to the beginning
"Mike Dooley takes metaphysical self-awareness back to the beginning, to that incredible, fantastic aspect of knowing who we really are as divine creations with unlimited possibilities and opportunities. He weaves this knowing into every stage of Leveraging the Universe, giving us alternate ways to view our thoughts and actions. Instead of heading in a direction and realizing 'it wasn't meant to be', we see that everything is meant to be - and we, standing in front of the great cosmic ballplayer of all times, have endless innings to pitch to the Universe, and let that divine part of ourSelves knock it out of the park! His writing is powerful yet easily digested, inspiring yet filled with daily manageable tasks to redirect our thoughts, and humbly filled with references to his own experiences yet magnificently positioned to take us all - himself included - to the next great level of being. In Leveraging the Universe, I see that yes, life is a journey and I can enjoy absolutely everything about it because I am the captain of my thoughts, cheered on by a very loving Umpire who wants us all to win, win, win! And see that winning is also all about how I'm playing the game."
