Publisher's summary

Playing the Matrix is a master class for creating the life you want to live. Tried and true, delivered and perfected over a decade while being shared live with tens of thousands of students in 132 cities, in 34 countries, upon six continents.

New Thought leader and New York Times best-selling author Mike Dooley brings to bear his advanced course on living deliberately and creating consciously. The concepts Mike shares here make up his most impactful, most transformational program ever. For the first time, these complete ideas are available in audiobook form.

At the heart of the Matrix lies a simple yet highly unexpected concept for creating major life change, unlike anything shared by other teachers, past or present. It clearly reveals why "manifesting" sometimes works with incredible ease, why it sometimes doesn't work at all, and why, on occasion, it works and yet in hindsight we wish it hadn't. You'll not only learn about the "Bermuda Triangle of manifesting" that too often leads to heartbreak and loss, you'll discover how to navigate around it, under full sail, with new "aha!" moments as you come to understand:

  • How to achieve clarity in purpose and desire
  • How to avoid contradictions and self-sabotage
  • How to fuel your dreams with passion while not attaching to unimportant details and outcomes
  • How to plan and take action on your dreams without messing with the "cursed hows"
  • And so much more

Playing the Matrix lays out the actual physical and metaphysical mechanics of manifestation, including your role in the equation of reality creation, so that you can deliberately orchestrate the changes you most wish to see. Once you begin working with the Universe instead of unwittingly working against it, you will truly astound yourself.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The most important self help book ever!

I found Mike Dooleys playing the Matrix the most concise and down to earth metaphysical book I’ve ever read. It’s practical, understandable and inspiringly compulsive listening. I’ve read the page copy but got more out of simply listening to him tell his story. Highly recommended.

THE roadmap for getting where you want in life

As always, Mike Dooley goes above and beyond with this book. As with his other books he helps you understand the mindset & thoughts that you need to have and what you need to do to get where you have always wanted to be in life. He really breaks the mechanics of our part in getting what we want out of life. Great book. I highly recommend!

Totally GREAT, except ONE thing

Love it -- wonderful. Great learnings even tho I've heard/read/seen similar things... this is the best version yet of the game of manifestation. Also, I can't believe so many people hate Mikes's narrative style.... I think it may be one of the best things about this book. Here is what is driving me NUTS: can't find the visuals they reference with regularity. NOT ANYWHERE. THAT IS REALLY annoying....

A truly great book!

What made the experience of listening to Playing the Matrix the most enjoyable?

It made all the difference to hear the book rather than read it. Hearing the emotion in Mike's voice, and the humor, made this a very enjoyable book! I also loved how this book was uplifting,and yet extremely practical. I am now a big Mike Dooley fan! More, please!

Good Book, Great Message

I love LOA readings, and this is a first from Mike Dooley for me. I enjoyed the overall jist of the book, knowing that I already have the "basics", however, if I were reading this as someone who has never heard of the concept of LOA before, I would probably be unimpressed and frankly, unmotivated.

Mike Dooley is definitely one of my favs!

Would you consider the audio edition of Playing the Matrix to be better than the print version?

I have not read this particular book in print, only listened to the audio. But I have read other books by him, which I also enjoyed. What I do like about his audio books (I am listening to another one now that I had only read before in the past) is that he narrates them himself and since he is also a public speaker he does that very well. (Naturally) He knows exactly how to read his own books and so in my opinion it definitely adds a lot to the books. Since listening to this book I do actually prefer audio books by him from now on.

What other book might you compare Playing the Matrix to and why?

Hmmm (thinking)... this books actually delves goes deeper into what he said in his previous book "Infinite Possibilities". Maybe it could almost be considered a sequel, and though you do not necessarily need to have read "Infinite Possibilities" to understand it, I do recommend reading that one first. And it will be worth it, they are both very good! This one explains more on how to apply the knowledge from "Infinite Possibilities".

What about Mike Dooley’s performance did you like?

I love his enthusiasm! His performance is very lively and I cannot help but get very motivated by it

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, the whole book moved me! :)

Any additional comments?

Thanks Mike!!
