Book Review: CBAR by Walter Perdigao

Rating: ???????? (out of 5)

My Thoughts

Perdigao draws from a wide variety to sources to present convincing evidence in favor of his arguments.

In the preface, he mentions an exhaustive list of books on religion, spirituality, self-improvement, and science that he used to form the ideas presented in CBAR.

If you’re so inclined, the list is enough reading material for several months.

Most interestingly, he describes the relationship between the universe and the mind using physics analogies, statistics, and theoretical calculations.

Seven Universal Laws

The seven universal laws he describes are:

• Law of Oneness
• Law of Vibration
• Law of Attraction
• Law of Reaction
• Law of Polarity
• Law of Relativity
• Law of Rhythm

When applied sequentially, these laws enable one to move through the process of creation of life goals.

Each chapter begins with an inspiring quote that at once sums up the content and provides a starting point for introspection and further contemplation.

Perdigao has put in a vast amount of effort in researching this book and it shows!

Concepts in the Book

Through the steps of Conceive, Believe, Achieve, and Receive, he helps the reader build self-esteem and set goals that are challenging, yet reachable.

Perdigao provides actionable steps without rhetorical fluff, backing up his theory with parallels drawn from science and philosophy.

Concepts like:

• Vision Board focusing on the Five Foundations,
• Goal affirmations,
• Following a daily routine that works for you (includes meditation, exercise, practicing gratitude), and
• Being aware of “dream crushers”

can be practically followed by nearly anyone–with minor tweaks made to suit one’s lifestyle.

Summing Up

CBAR is a great book to sink your teeth into, and whether or not you feel you’re happy, successful, or content, I’m sure you will find something of interest in this guide.

Highly recommended!
