Features & Highlights

  • #1 New York Times Bestseller! In her latest book, The Universe Has Your Back, New York Times best-selling author Gabrielle Bernstein teaches readers how to transform their fear into faith in order to live a divinely guided life. Each story and lesson in the book guides readers to release the blocks to what they most long for: happiness, security, and clear direction. The lessons help readers relinquish the need to control so they can relax into a sense of certainty and freedom. Readers will learn to stop chasing life and truly live. Making the shift from fear to faith will give readers a sense of power in a world that all too often makes them feel utterly powerless. When the tragedies of the world seem overwhelming, this book will help guide them back to their true power. Gabrielle says, "My commitment with this book is to wake up as many people as possible to their connection to faith and joy. In that connection, we can be guided to our true purpose: to be love and spread love. These words can no longer be cute buzz phrases that we merely post on social media. Rather, these words must be our mission. The happiness, safety, and security we long for lies in our commitment to love." When readers follow this path, they’ll begin to feel a swell of energy move through them. They will find strength when they are down, synchronicity and support when they’re lost, safety in the face of uncertainty, and joy when they are otherwise in pain. Follow the secrets revealed in this book to unleash the presence of your power and know always that The Universe Has Your Back.

Too mushy for my taste, but still packed with solid, time-tested advice

This is not a bad book – if you are susceptible to mushy books like this.

The advice ultimately offered in a welter of metaphysical-sounding words is solid advice and has been offered in thousands of books and lectures before. Bernstein is simply spinning it in a wrapper intended for the new hip generation.

Bernstein strikes e as being very self-absorbed which is not inconsistent with m impression of her generation.

As critical as I may sound, I still give this book four-stars. I am not fond of the style, but for those who are, Bernstein offers solid advice. It is time-tested, proven advice, just wrapped in a contemporary vernacular.

repackaged versions of the same information

I have read all of Gabby's books, watched her lectures and had joined her membership club. I have been a supporter of her work for the last 5 years. Spirit Junkie was the book that made the most impact on me. Unfortunately, I have been feeling, since then, each of her books are repackaged versions of the same information. This book was, in particular, the most guilty of this. I cannot even get through it. There was nothing new to add to the conversation. Particularly if you have read her other books or books by similar authors.

I am also very frustrated that many solutions are followed up with "if you do this, you will instantly feel better." I feel this is creating a bit of spiritual bypass within the community of readers, myself included.

On a positive note, I do think this book is good for someone who is new to this type of spirituality. Gabby's work is definitely appreciated and touches lots of people. Her tone is very down to earth and personable.

This Book Opened My Eyes to Concepts I'd Heard Before But Never Understood How to Implement

This is the first book I've read by Gabrielle Bernstein, but I can say that I enjoyed every minute of it. Every single thing that she discussed in this book is something that I was dealing with in my life at the time. She has opened my heart to the world of meditation. I feel like a new person, who is calmer, more loving and more at peace than ever. I know I'm still a work in progress, but I'm better than I have been. I'd never heard of the concept of a universal assignment, but I now know what it is because of this book, and I think I've finally, finally after 37 years showed up for it, so much so that I hope I've stopped it from repeating itself in all aspects of my life. I feel a freedom that I've not known before through the surrender of my plans and will. Throughout this book I found concepts that I'd been taught in the church growing up, but not until now, did I know how to practically do the things asked of me in my Bible. Thanks for opening my eyes and making it plain for me, Gabby.

Full of good stuff but I found it hard to get through

This is basically an excellent book; I just had difficulty in getting through it, and had to give it up.

The author, Gabby, tells her story and then presents us with a series of “universal lessons”. One such lesson is: “When we surrender our will to the power of the universe, we receive miracles.” We are also given a few prayers in connection with some of the lessons.

Another universal lesson is “Limitless guidance is available to you when you surrender to receive it.”

She refers constantly to “A Course in Miracles” and, among other things, tells us about the “Holy Instant”. This is “the moment that you surrender your fear to the care of the universe and accept the perspective of love”.

We can practice the Holy Instant all the time. The more we practice it, the faster we return to love.

We’re taught that the world is our classroom and people our assignments; we must allow ourselves to feel our feelings and breathe into the pain.

Gabby gives us short, useful meditations that can also be downloaded from her website.
Some of her key words/concepts are “surrender”, “faith” and “miracles”.

The book is well-written, inspiring and mostly very readable except for the fact that its lessons are extremely concentrated, and thus not easily assimilated. Perhaps this was the reason I had difficulty in getting through the book.

One of my favorites

I love this book. I have so many parts highlighted and so many notes in the margins. I read lots of books like this, and this is by far one of the best (and one of her best).

A must read!!

This book is amazing! She writes from the heart and every word I inhaled in through my nose and into my soul. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to be reminded of their own light and how to turn your view from fear to love. It’s a beautifully written book. Everyone should read it.

Nice refresher

Gabrielle Bernstein's "The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith" is for a certain audience. I guess it would be what used to be called "new age" in the language. That said, it does have some good advice on looking at patterns that lead to fearful behavior and adjust those behaviors to a more positive route. Much of it is stuff that one may have heard before but she writes it in a way that makes it seem fresh which isn't a bad thing. I thought it was a nice refresher of a read.
