This is something I haven't done much of - manifesting thoughts, ideas, dreams. To add it to art is even more fascinating to me, and I could easily see how the process becomes meditative, almost trance‑like, as you draw and let your imagination flow. It is something I will be exploring further.

I listened to the audiobook, which made it a little harder to visualize the techniques being described. As a visual learner, I found myself turning to YouTube for demonstrations, but once I saw the process in action, I was hooked. What really enhanced the experience was that the narration was by the author. Her passion and enthusiasm came through so clearly, adding a personal touch that made the book feel even more inspiring.

Really enjoyed this ,
Recent I have been very interested in looking into books about manifesting and this one was perfect.
I have read a few others previously but this one was so easy to understand and be able to do!
I LOVE the aspect of being drawing into it !
Made perfect sense and made it so much easy to fully visualize and brought the whole thing together!

I just recently found Colette this year. I find her book and her outlook engaging. I’m interested in just about everything she has to say believing there is more to life than what we see. I believe in a higher power guiding us. This book shows that we are all capable of manifesting our desires. Everyone is an individual and there is no wrong way to make this work. It brings out your individuality of being creative with no pressure or set rules. The fact that this book gets me away from wasting hours on my phone doing nothing is just an added bonus. Colette herself read for the audiobook so it felt more intimate and personalized. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC. It’s very much appreciated

I've been following Colette for a few years now, always giving me a way to focus and redirect my life through her methods of meditation, vision boards and plain inspiration with her message. Meditation is usually hard because of distractions that life throws at you, but I feel that this method with art and drawing and manifestation and visualization will be useful and fun. Colette's reading of the audiobook was charged with all her energy and enthusiasm.

Thanks to netgalley for the audio copy for review.

The Art of Manifesting by Colette Baron-Reid with Anna Denning was an insightful read introducing art as a way to manifest since this is the first time I have ever heard of this. This informative book teaches you step by step and it is easy to follow so if you are new to this like I am then you'll be able to easily understand what is being taught to you. Without giving any spoilers, overall this was a great read and I think this is perfect for people who struggle to use words when manifesting or are just creative.

The best part about this experience was the narrator because the voice was pleasant to listen to and I didn't have any troubles following along or understanding what was being said. I think the writing was beautifully done and I enjoyed all the information that was included because I was able to take notes for some of the practices that I wanted to try while I was following along.

I have always believed in the power of manifesting and this book helped to remind me of the importance of believing and not just thinking. This helped me remember that thoughts can help or destroy what you want.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this arc

I love Colette Baron-Reid's enthusiastic reading of this book and the topic of manifesting through art. I have been practicing manifesting for a while but this is a new medium for me and I love it!
I did think that this may be better as a physical book especially since it is difficult to envisage the exercises described especially since we do not have access to the mentioned pdf.

The author has a beautiful narrating voice! It made the listening of the book very enjoyable.
It’s a pity that the pdfs referencing all the ways to practice AM were not made available. I went to her website but could not find any PDFs to download. Such a shame.

Anyway… this art of manifesting through drawing is quite new to me. I’ve heard about The Secret book that launched Manifesting into mainstream life. It reminds me of Steve Jobs and his Reality Distortion Field. Sadly when he tried to manifest a reversal of his pancreatic cancer rejecting all medical and scientific intervention, we all know how that panned out.

I am sure most of us have done some form of manifesting without realising that we are doing it. But if we were to intentionally manifest good health but lead an unhealthy lifestyle, I doubt though if that manifestation will be realised ever. Manifesting still requires the “manifester’ to be realistic and help to realise the intended manifestation.. One can’t hope to win the lotteries without buying a ticket.

You can skip to chapter 21 and get the entire lowdown if you don’t have the time to listen to the audiobook. Again it would have been nice to get the PDFs she mentioned.

All said and done, I really enjoyed listening to the entire audiobook and thanks again to Netgalley.

A step by step guide including directions in terms of working towards manifesting what you want or where you want to go in life. By utilizing the subconscious and directing your body, thoughts and actions in the direction of what you want your life with "manifest" it into your life. Be careful though you need to be specific and know what you will do with it once you have it. Many thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for the opportunity.

I have to say while I’ve heard people talk about ‘manifestation’ for years, the always thought the concept sounded a bit ‘out there’, which is likely why I never looked into it. But then I had the opportunity to listen to the audio version of Colette Baron-Reid and Anna Denning’s The Art of Manifesting and after looking into it and seeing that the ‘art’ mentioned in the title was two-fold, I just had to check it out. Even if you have zero artistic talent I still suggest checking this one out. Great way to clear your mind, get focused, perhaps even rewire your thought process to get more out of life. Think of this as doodling with intention. As much as I enjoyed the audio version, I’m considering picking up a physical version as well. I’d like to thank Hay House and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to a review copy of the audio version of The Art of Manifesting.

Book Title: The Art of Manifesting
Authors: Colette Baron-Reid & Anna Denning
Narrator: Colette Baron-Reid

Rating: ★★★★☆

I received a free copy from Hay House Audiobooks | Hay House and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I started listening to The Art of Manifesting by Colette Baron-Reid & Anna Denning with somewhat skepticism, expecting high-level spiritual promises that don’t match reality. Instead, what surprised me was the meditative calm it instilled through the reading of her own book. Listening to Colette Baron-Reid’s friendly voice, I felt a genuine sense of peace, realising that the “manifesting” isn’t about passive wishing —it’s about the physical, low-stakes act of creating drawings to focus cognitive energy and driving intended outcomes.

The core message is that creativity is focus, and focus is power. My lingering question isn’t about if the process works, but how one can truly measure the tipping point where this repeated creative practice successfully dismantles deeply held limiting beliefs?

Feel free to skip this if you prefer purely clinical psychology without spiritual framing, but pick it up if you’re ready to bridge the gap between motivational self-help and an actionable, daily practical practice. It’s especially powerful for individuals who struggle with traditional seated meditation but find focus through simple, repetitive, hands-on tasks.

This is a beautiful, breathtaking, gorgeous piece of work that has been beautifully produced as an audiobook. This book helped me understand how to have a different and better approach and understanding of parenthood.

It gives factual ideas and insights into how to be better or have a better understanding of how manifesting and your mind works and how you perceive yourself and others.

This is highly recommended for all

This book is inspirational and uplifting. It introduces the techniques of neuro art and walks the reader through several manifesting exercises using drawing.

It's a great length - not too long, and the author narrates the audiobook with an enthusiastic yet soothing tone that works perfectly with the content. I will check out more from Colette Baron-Reid.
