The Third Element walks you through how emotions are key to the law of attraction.

Randy uses his own story as an example and then asks the reader questions so we can start exploring our emotions ourselves. He’s a man of science, so his strategy combines both science and faith.

Each chapter builds on the last and we are given actionable strategies to apply in our lives.

The Third Element: The Missing Key to Activating the Law of Attraction by Randy Lyman is one of those books that quickly surprises you. While you might be expecting a typical personal improvement book, you will soon find that this one is a bit different in its approach. It blends science, philosophy, and storytelling with a profoundly personal sincerity.

Lyman takes a fresh look at the Law of Attraction, offering insights that go beyond the usual surface-level advice. Instead of just telling you to “think positive,” he digs into the deeper mechanics of how energy, intention, and consciousness really work.

The writing is thoughtful and informative without becoming dry. You can tell there’s a real heart behind every idea. If you’re into books that make you think, feel, and maybe even shift your perspective, this one’s worth picking up.

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

This book is about how to unlock the life you want. Randy teaches how to embrace your emotions and accept your past to move forward with your life. I liked that he mentioned the potential critiques people would have for each point he made. He acknowledged that people could push against these theories, but these are the things that worked for him.

The Third Element is an inspiring read!

If manifestation is so great, why does it feel like banging your head against a brick wall?

Sure, you may have the discipline—the drive, strength, and perseverance it takes to build the life of your dreams. Yes, you may have the intellect—the understanding that you have the power to shape your own reality and a foolproof, step-by-step plan to do so.

So why isn’t all the planning, hard work, and visualization working? And when you do finally start achieving success, why does it still feel like something’s missing?

When it comes to creating abundance or finding inner peace, most people assume that mind-body alignment is enough. But we’re still missing one critical element—the long-neglected key to manifestation.

Each and every one of us holds the answer to unlocking the life of our dreams: the power and limitless potential of the Third Element.

Join entrepreneur, engineer, and speaker Randy Lyman as he unpacks his own journey and shows us exactly how our emotional experiences—the pains, the joys, and everything in-between—are both our greatest obstacles and our most powerful assets.

And this book is going to show you how to use it.

I have read quite a lot of books about the so-called law of attraction. Most of them are super vague and end with something disappointing like implying that this works for everyone, yet if it doesn’t work for you, well, that’s your own fault because you must be doing it wrong and it’s on you.
This one? Not vague. Very clear, in fact. And not pushing pages upon pages of fluff, only to end up being yet another sales pitch for some paid manifestation course. Seriously, I’ve seen so many of those. Omg.
Ok, back to what this book is – EMOTIONS. It talks about emotions and emotional regulation as the missing element. Makes sense, as emotional regulation skills seem to be a major missing key to, well, to literally everything – if you want to achieve anything at all. I believe so many fail at what they do just because they are not too good with their own emotions, with their own attitude towards the way they feel, act, react.
I’d say it doesn’t really matter if you believe in the law of attraction at all – this book has actionable steps to recognize and manage your emotions, your emotional background, and your emotional reactivity. And that is a lot.

I found this to be a very relevant read for our tumultuous present times. The idea of using emotional mastery is interesting, and I appreciated the author’s scientific explanation of how emotion is a part of our journey to achieving our goals and can be a barrier to success. In my experience, being able to accept professional feedback as someone’s way of trying to help you rather than getting defensive can make such a difference.

What if your emotions weren’t just reactions, but the key to success, fulfilment, and personal transformation?

In The Third Element, physicist, multi-millionaire entrepreneur, and emotional mastery expert Randy Lyman presents a fresh, science-backed perspective on how emotions shape our reality.

This isn’t just another self-help book full of motivational quotes. Lyman combines cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and practical exercises to help readers rewire their thinking, process unresolved emotions, and take control of their lives.

The Core Idea: Emotions as the Missing Link

We’re often told that success comes from hard work and positive thinking, but according to Lyman, that’s only part of the equation. The “third element” is emotional mastery: the ability to understand, regulate, and harness our emotions to unlock true potential.

Without mastering our emotions, we unknowingly create self-sabotaging patterns, holding ourselves back from abundance, happiness, and achievement. Through a blend of scientific principles and real-world application, Lyman provides a roadmap to reprogram our subconscious mind and break through invisible barriers.

What Makes This Book Stand Out?

✅ Science Meets Spirituality – A rare blend of physics, psychology, and personal development that feels both intellectual and deeply personal.

✅ Actionable Steps – Practical exercises to help readers identify emotional blocks and shift limiting beliefs.

✅ Real-World Examples – Inspiring stories from entrepreneurs, scientists, and everyday people who transformed their lives by mastering their emotions.

✅ Fresh Perspective – Moves beyond traditional “positive thinking” approaches, offering a deeper, more holistic method for self-growth.

Who Should Read This?
* Entrepreneurs & High Achievers looking for the secret edge in business and life.
* Anyone Stuck in Self-Sabotage who wants to break free of limiting beliefs and emotional baggage.
* Personal Growth Enthusiasts who love books that mix science, psychology, and self-improvement.

The Third Element isn’t just a book, it’s a roadmap to self-discovery and success. If you’re ready to break through emotional blocks and step into your power, this guide offers the tools to help you do just that.

The author does a fantastic job in helping the reader in finding themselves in a deeper, spirtual selves. He teaches on how to better oneself, how to be happier, finding their purpose. I thought it was great for myself as I am trying to heal from losses of my significant other of 15 years, my best friend of 40 years, and lifelong toxic relationships. It helped me how to take those situations to use as a tool to learn and grow from them. It was insightful for me to see things in a different perspective. It really spoke to me in ways other self help books have not been able to do.
