Turning Life's Mysteries into Miracles

12 Paradoxes of Manifesting and How to Make Them Work for You

A beloved spiritual teacher flips the script on the Law of Attraction with 12 surprising keys to understanding exactly how our thoughts become things.

Why does manifesting sometimes work, sometimes stall, and other times succeed only for us to think, Be careful what you wish for . . .? Why are we told to want more, and then labeled “selfish”? Then we’re taught to accept the past and be happy now, but isn’t this settling for less? And how can we take steps toward our goals without getting bogged down in the “hows,” the details that sabotage our progress?

These aren’t contradictions to overcome—they’re paradoxes that simply need decoding with deeper spiritual understanding.

In Turning Life’s Mysteries into Miracles, Mike Dooley, best-selling author and creator of Notes from the Universe, reveals 12 counterintuitive truths that quietly determine how fast—and how gracefully—your dreams come to life. Among them:

  • The road you start out on will not be the road you arrive on
  • True selfishness leads to authentic selflessness
  • Your problems aren’t in the way—they are the way
  • Life isn’t fair . . . it’s rigged (in your favor)

Each paradox is a doorway. Once understood, it restores your power, dissolves resistance, and accelerates manifestation. Instead of struggling against life’s seeming contradictions, you’ll learn to work with them, allowing the Universe free rein to conspire in your favor.
Mike Dooley is the New York Times best-selling author who created Notes from the Universe, whose books have been published in 27 languages. He has inspired live audiences in 156 cities across 42 countries on six continents and was featured as a teacher in The Secret. Mike is also the founder of TUT’s Philosophical Adventurers Club, home to over one million online members. Learn more at www.tut.com.
