In Playing the Matrix, New Thought leader and New York Times best-selling author Mike Dooley shares his most impactful, transformational program for creating major life changes and shaping our futures. Previously only available at live workshops, this information has been delivered in 132 cities, 34 countries, upon 6 continents. For the first time, these complete ideas can be at your fingertips in book form.At the heart of the Matrix lies a simple yet highly unexpected concept for creating major life change, unlike anything shared by other teachers, past or present. It clearly reveals why "manifesting" sometimes works with incredible ease, why it sometimes doesn’t work at all, and why, on occasion, it works and yet in hindsight we wish it hadn’t. You’ll not only learn about the "Bermuda Triangle of Manifesting" that too often leads to heartbreak and loss, you’ll discover how to navigate around it, under full sail, with new "Aha!" moments as you come to understand: •How to achieve clarity in purpose and desire •How to avoid contradictions and self-sabotage •How to fuel your dreams with passion while not attaching to unimportant details and outcomes •How to plan and take action on your dreams without messing with the "cursed hows" •And so much morePlaying the Matrix lays out the actual physical and metaphysical mechanics of manifestation, including your role in the equation of reality creation, so that you can deliberately orchestrate the changes you most wish to see. Once you begin working with the Universe instead of unwittingly working against it, you will truly astound yourself.

I have been receiving Mike Dooley's Notes from the Universe for several months. Reading them is a wonderful way for me to start me day and I look forward to receiving them in my inbox. From these Notes, I had learned about this book. Having said this I was ambivalent about buying it. I had read one of MIke's previous books and although it was good, I had found his writing style to be a little over my head. I'm just not that quick and it takes me a while to process what I read. But, his marketing style wore me down and I eventually purchased this book. Honestly, I am so glad that I did. I found this book to be an easier read and simple to put into action. It is worth buying if one is serious about changing one's life. But, as Mike says we must put our thoughts in to action...act on them in order to get results! In this book, Mike also shares his story.. How he eventually succeeded in life, love, business...even public speaking...when according to him it had been essentially in ruins not too long ago. I really enjoyed hearing his story. It's so easy to assume that many people who seem to have it all, have always been if not successful, than at least heading in that direction. Not so for MIke. I loved hearing how he manifested this. Overall, this was a great read....and I would buy it again.

I’ve followed Mike Dooley for almost a year. I receive his Notes from the Universe at TUT.com. I know he sens the same “note” to everyone, but it almost always ends up being exactly what I needed to hear. It’s the Universe working, I know. :)

In addition, I listen and read as much as I can from him. His writes and speaks in a very relatable style. I’ve read his other works, and listened to some of his Playing the Matrix speeches. So, I was delighted to find out about this book.

It’s all contained here in an easy to read format. Once you start you won't want to put it down, so you can get all the information and get to manifesting. I like that it’s not just theory. There are REAL action steps. You won’t finish this book and wonder how to do this — you’ll know exactly HOW. It’s all laid out here.

Full disclosure: While this review was written in exchange for a free gift, it is my honest opinion and one I would have written regardless.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best books on living your life to the fullest.

I've been learning from Mike Dooley for a while, starting with his book "Notes From The Universe". He always gives great tools, techniques and "thought upgrades"; this book is all that and more. This is one of the best books on living your life to the fullest that I have ever read and I've been a student of "enlightenment" since 1980. What sets it apart is that it is all about learning to live your dreams and how to do it with grace and ease. Mike speaks from years of experience and it shows how much he's learned. He's become one of the top five "unintentional gurus" in my life (i.e. he leads a life that I want to emulate). And to top it all off, it's a fun read.

I bought the Kindle version and I'm going to buy the hardback because I want to easily reference parts to share with others. How many books can you say that about?

Mike Dooley is a great conversational writer. He lends good advice and it almost seems as if he is right there talking with you as you read his book.
I am halfway through PLaying teh Matrix and it just arrived last night!
I am trying to wrap my head around his teachings and I enjoy the fact that he breaks things down for you simply though I wish I could just sit and have a conversation with him to clarify some things.
I am giving this book 4-stars because some of the things I am reading were said in previous books and emails. But otherwise it's amazing so far.
Thanks Mike!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deliberately and Consciously Playing the Matrix
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2017

A while back I had signed up for the Hay House Summit and Mike Dooley was talking about Playing the Matrix. I'd been keenly interested in the topic but put it to the side. I fully and with candor admit to having a section in my library dedicated to Mike Dooley's books. I find myself quoting from Infinite Possibilities regularly with my coaching clients. I can foresee utilizing this awesome program with my clients and even encouraging clients as well as students to get their own copy of this book. I have done the video course and as someone who prefers to sit down with a good book rather than have my eyes burned out from a computer or TV screen - this book is fantastic! Filled with Mike's surprisingly down-to-earth style of writing for a former international tax consultant, snippets from The Universe, infographics and experiential opportunities to put what you're reading into practice. I've personally manifested the life I love by using Mike's tools and tips! Be open and allow the Matrix to work with and through you!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2017

I am so happy that I got this book and I just started it. I find the content compelling and exciting! The value you will get from the teachings far exceeds the cost of the book. Really, it's priceless. The thing is, I'm passionate about Mike Dooley's teachings. :) Full disclosure, I am a little biased because I recently took the Infinite Possibilities course, became a Trainer and am on my way to becoming a Trailblazer. This new book Playing the Matrix is part of the evolution of learning not just for myself but for all. His work really resonates with me and all the others I have shared it with. All of his books are well written and I feel like he breaks things down and helps you to open up to the amazing possibilities.

Give yourself permission to be the best version of you that you can be (and read this book!)!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The universe has put this book across your path for a reason, take the hint and read it, then try it out - it really works!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2017

There are many people out there telling you how to get what you want using the law of attraction, no one is telling you why the system only works sometimes, part from the fantastic Mike Dooley of course! This is a delightful system for living as a happy traveller, knowing you are supported and you will arrive miraculously at your destination. You don't need to know how to get there, the universe knows, just set the right destination in your GPS and enjoy the journey.

I had the enormous pleasure (he makes everything playful) of attending Mike's day long workshop 'Playing in the Matrix' and yes it really does work. But of course even when we know things, even when they're common sense, we can slip back into our old ways and not make them common practice. So I have bought the book to remind me to keep on playing, my destination is happiness and after a look at the Matrix you'll understand why it should be yours too.

Mike writes with all the energy he delivers in person. Nothing is complicated and he gives you practical advice for how to play with this. If you don't take any more action than to read, you'll be entertained, but try it out and you will be thrilled by the results. Everyone deserves to have the most fun possible and they can, thanks to this system.
