The Desire Factor

Description Desire Factor by Christy Whitman

There is no limit to the amount of happiness that we, as human beings, can experience. There is no limit to how much love, laughter, excitement, or satisfaction we can feel. This universe is unendingly abundant, which means that it has the ability to yield to us whatever experiences we desire. Why, then, do some people manifest their desires so fluidly and naturally, while others are living lives of struggle, mediocrity, or quiet desperation?

Hard work alone does not guarantee a positive result.  In fact, pushing forward with determination and effort when things are not going as planned usually only makes a bad situation worse.  Energy – not action – is the source of all manifested things, and The Desire Factor is the definitive guide to achieving energy mastery.

The Desire Factor provides one of the most current, comprehensive, and easy to apply explorations into the realm of energy, and shows readers how – by purposefully calibrating the energetic frequency of their dominant thoughts, moods and expectations – they can bring any desire into physical form.

The book is built around 7 universal principles, each of which assists readers in connecting with and deliberately harnessing the divine energy stream that sources all things. These are:

  • The Principle of Alignment
  • The Principle of Focus
  • The Principle of Joyful Expectancy
  • The Principle of Having
  • The Principle of Loving
  • The Principle of Surrender
  • The Principle of Action

Each principle builds upon the last one, and together, they provide a clear path – not just toward the manifestation of objects, experiences and conditions you desire to create in each important area of your life – but toward the personal evolution your desires are guiding you to embrace.

My Thoughts Desire Factor by Christy Whitman

Guest Review by Mark S.

This book could almost be considered a guidebook to the universe. ‘The Desire Factor: How to Embrace Your Materialistic Nature to Reclaim Your Full Spiritual Power,’ is a self-help book with a twist– and that twist involves teaching you how to help yourself with tools that you already have.

Courtesy of author Christy Whitman, ‘The Desire Factor’ consists of seven main chapters, each one teaching a different principal of how to make your desires work for you.

Say you see a beautiful new car and you decide that you want it but you know that there is no way you can afford it. Most of us would probably just forget about it, but maybe there is another way.

In the beginning of the book, Whitman outlines tells a story about that scenario happening to her, with a designer purse, but she did not forget about it. Instead, she started thinking, and she quickly realized that she couldn’t imagine putting a pack of cigarettes inside of a beautiful designer purse, so if she wanted the purse, she would have to quit smoking. Eventually, Whitman returned for the purse but this time she was a successful business woman.

These kinds of anecdotes typify the style of writing that Whitman expertly executes in this guide. Even if you aren’t interested in her advice, this book is worth the read for her writing which is top notch.

Going through this book I highlighted so many sentences in my notes that I ended up with huge blocks of highlighted text. There are so many little nuggets of wisdom to take away!

This book will spark creativity and inspiration for anyone that reads it and will make the universe seem just a little bit smaller and a little bit more friendly to you. Will I get the car? No, I think I need to start smaller to use Whitman’s advice, at least to start.  I did just get a new Mazda 3 sports edition though.

I accepted the e-book for my honest thoughts.

Excerpt Desire Factor by Christy Whitman

How is it that desires are made manifest? How come some people seem to manifest so easily with great results while others struggle for years—if not their entire lifetimes—trying to create what they want? What exactly is the formula for becoming the happy, abundant, wildly successful versions of ourselves that we truly wish to be? And how is it that our thoughts—seemingly so etheric and intangible—turn into objective, material realities like relationships, cars, career breakthroughs, magnificent vacations, and high-end handbags?

It may seem that taking physical, concrete action is the obvious—even the only—path to creating all of the above. And the more we intensely desire something, or the bigger that desire looms in the distance, then the greater the effort we feel we need to apply. This is the essence of the no pain, no gain mind-set that so many are still living within, which tells us that paying our dues and working hard is the only way to fulfill our heart’s desires. Clearly, we can accomplish certain things just by applying physical force and mental effort. After all, just about everyone is capable of devising a plan and executing it, in the same way we can move a pile of rocks from one place to another.

But what about the fulfillment of truly extraordinary—even miraculous—desires? Is physical action alone responsible for the sudden flash of insight that evolves into a multimillion-dollar enterprise? Is mental effort the principal force at work within the artist who writes a song in fifteen minutes that wins her a Grammy and becomes a part of pop culture forevermore? What about the “chance” meeting that delivers you face-to-face with your soul mate, or the single piece of information that drops into your lap and ushers in a whole new way of life?

When a desire—big or small—manifests this easily, it feels almost miraculous. But it’s not a miracle. The people in this world who are the happiest; who have energy, vitality, and clarity; who have plenty of money, creative self-expression, and loving and supportive relationships aren’t accomplishing these things through hard work or effort alone. They are allowing them into their experience through their alignment. And the manifestations themselves are rarely the primary source—and certainly not a lasting source—of their happiness. The real joy comes from the feeling of being in the flow of life and having the direct experience that the universe is our willing, cooperative, creative partner.

Whether it’s the manifestation of a ten-million-dollar winning lottery ticket or the manifestation of a choice parking spot at the mall at Christmastime, the joy and satisfaction we feel as we watch something we desire fall into place comes from knowing that we attracted that outcome to us, through our clarity, our receptivity, and our alignment. We allowed ourselves to be guided to the right place at the right time, and we accurately interpreted the clues that were being offered to us by the benevolent universe of which we are all important parts.

In truth, these clues—which have the very real potential of leading us quickly and joyfully to the spontaneous realization of everything we desire—are all around us, all the time, pointing the way toward everything we desire in every important aspect of our lives. But to pick up on them with clarity and accuracy, we have to be open to receive. In other words, the energy we are broadcasting through our thoughts, our moods, and—importantly—our expectations must be in energetic resonance with the outcome we desire.

It’s All About Energy

We now know that everything within this seemingly material universe, ourselves included, is made up of energy. Einstein proved this, and modern science and quantum physics have further confirmed and expanded on the understanding. What appears to our senses as solid matter is simply energy, vibrating at different rates of speed. Your eyes translate light waves into sight. Your ears translate sound waves into hearing. But nothing material actually exists. And this means that the “stuff” that makes up the entire universe is actually not stuff at all. It’s energy.

Energy is the currency of life. It’s the force that animates all things.  Energy is at the basis of everything, and there is no beginning, ending, or limit to this potent, powerful source energy. And here, of course, the questions naturally arise: If the energy that creates all things exists in abundant supply and is equally available to everyone, then why is it that some people manifest their desires so fluidly and naturally while others are living lives of struggle, mediocrity, or quiet desperation? If divine energy is at the basis of all things and we all have equal access to it, then how is it that some people are using it to create their version of heaven on earth while others—by depriving themselves of it—are creating a living hell? What are the hidden mechanics behind the reality that each of us is living, and why is that reality so vastly different for each of us?

The answer to all of these questions is the same. Everything comes down to the alignment, or misalignment, of our own personal energy field. The energy that creates worlds is available to each of us at all times, but as individuals, we have the option of allowing it to fuel us, inspire us, and guide us, and we also have the option of remaining ignorant of its astounding power and therefore denying ourselves access to it. This is the incredible power of free will. The degree of our happiness or unhappiness, our satisfaction or deprivation, and our experience of abundance or lack is simply a reflection of our relationship with this energy stream. And that relationship is entirely within our control.


Advance Praise Desire Factor by Christy Whitman


The Desire Factor is a testament to the success principles I’ve been living and teaching for more than forty years. Whether we experience happiness or unhappiness, success or failure depends on what we, ourselves, believe we are deserving of. What we think about, talk about, feel strongly about, and act on, we attract into our lives. In this book, my friend Christy Whitman lays out a reliable road map for how to do all of the above on purpose.”-Jack Canfield, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series and The Success Principles™, and a featured teacher in The Secret

“In The Desire Factor, Christy Whitman has pulled back the curtain and revealed how successful people fulfill their desires. Well-written, with engaging, easy-to-relate-to stories, this book will guide you to a completely new understanding of what fulfilling desires means and why you have the desires you have. This is one of those books to put on your must-read list.”-Chris Attwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Passion Test and Your Hidden Riches

“As a TM meditator of almost forty years, I’ve often felt profoundly connected to our collective quantum soup. Christy Whitman’s The Desire Factor beautifully makes the case that desire not only doesn’t deserve its bad rap (thanks a lot, Adam and Eve), but it’s actually one of the soup’s most transformational ingredients.”-Tom Bergeron, TV host and soup resident

The Desire Factor is a handbook that teaches you how to manifest any desire, big or small. Christy reveals the art and science of creating fulfillment and empowerment in every aspect of your life. Bravo, Christy, for sharing these important principles.”-Cynthia Kersey, bestselling author of Unstoppable, founder & CEO of Unstoppable Foundation

Artt of the Black Card

Description Artt of the Black Card by Anthony Ryan Sadana


“The Artt of the Black Card” is a fresh, concise, irreverent instruction manual on how to succeed as an entrepreneur based on the author’s own original insights and his risk-taking record as a businessman and innovator. This is not a cookie-cutter business book filled with tired advice and worn-out clichés. “The Artt of the Black Card” is a contrarian guidebook for a new generation of business owners and leaders — anyone with the smarts, guts and passion for making money. You don’t need an MBA to get rich, and “The Artt of the Black Card” proves it.

Employing nine vital work/life lessons using the exclusive and legendary American Express Black Card, aka the Centurion Card as a framework, author and serial entrepreneur Anthony Ryan Sadana explains how to make money while the world around you is going to hell  and emerge stronger than ever. It’s the perfect antidote to today’s extraordinary challenges.

Review Artt of the Black Card by Anthony Ryan Sadana

Guest Review by Mark S.

“In the pages that follow, you’ll learn nine vital work/life principles, backed by my stories as an entrepreneur.”

An incredibly valuable resource for young professionals and aspiring entrepreneur’s alike! Anthony Sadana has an incredibly varied resume. He has consulted for major companies and runs his own real estate investment organization, so it’s no wonder that he has the knowledge that he does about the business world.

This book is unlike any other financial self-help book that I have read because it comes from the perspective of a young, 21st century business man who operates much of his business online. There are nine main sections in the book, each of which Sadana focuses around a single topic of advice. Some of these topics are things like, ‘Be on the lookout,’ which discusses having the proper amount of self-motivation and how to see opportunity where others do not and ‘Change Happens’ which talks about keeping yourself open to adjusting your business idea.

One of my favorite chapters was the one that talked about how to correctly employ ‘being an asshole’ when you are a manager. Sadana says that being an asshole basically means standing up for yourself and leveraging the best possible deal, which is different from just being a jerk who has no self awareness. Standing up for your idea and not letting yourself get taken advantage of by potential partners or even customers is so vital to starting a business, I was pleased to see that Sadana included it.

This book is well written and witty, both of which keep it interesting as you read along. I think it is one of my favorite books of this kind that I have read and I would love to read more from this author in the future. 5 out of 5 stars!


About Anthony Ryan SadanaArtt of the Black Card by Anthony Ryan Sadana


At the tender age of 23, Anthony Ryan Sadana received an exclusive invitation to apply for the fabled no-limit American Express Black Card, which represented, in his mind, “the pinnacle of my financial success and the ultimate recognition for measuring any sort of achievement against your peers.”

A scant two years later, he found himself flat broke and millions of dollars in debt. Today, this entrepreneur, innovator, author and influencer enjoys a multi-faceted, successful career on a global scale in a wide range of businesses. He’s run retail operations, consults for large and small companies, owns his own real estate investment organization, and is involved in a series of high-ly profitable online ventures.

Sadana’s hard-won knowledge and insights, applied properly and with the right amount of motivation, will help budding entrepreneurs and seasoned business veterans alike create their own success stories.

Sadana currently lives in Las Vegas with his faithful sheltie, Lucky.
