Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires Paperback – October 1, 2004
Purchase options and add-ons
INCLUDES 22 PROVEN PROCESSES TO IMPROVE YOUR MANIFESTING AND HELP YOU FEEL MORE HAPPINESS NOW
The most comprehensive volume of the first 20 years of the teachings from Abraham - a loving group consciousness from the non-physical dimension.
“A publishing milestone that offers you a blueprint for understanding and implementing your own destiny.” -Wayne Dyer, best-selling author of The Power of Intention
Ask and It Is Given, the pivotal manifestation and law of attraction book by Esther and Jerry Hicks, presents the inspirational teachings of the nonphysical entity Abraham, to help you learn how to manifest your desires so that you’re living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve.
This empowering book will show you how to feel good now and as you read, you’ll come to understand how your relationships, health issues, finances, career concerns, and more are influenced by the Universal laws that govern your time/space reality—and you’ll discover powerful manifesting processes that will help you go with the positive flow of life.
"An absolute must for anyone interested in the law of attraction, and using it to better their lives, finances and relationships." - Soul & Spirit magazine
"The reason you have not already gotten what you desire is because you are holding yourself in a vibrational holding pattern that does not match the vibration of your desire." - Abraham
“Ask and It Is Given is primarily about how whatever we’re asking for is being given to us—and it’s also the first book to ever, in such clear terminology, give us the simple practical formula for how to ask for, and then how to receive, whatever we want to be, do, or have.
This book offers you a hands-on course in spiritual practicality and also teaches you how not to be, do, or have anything that displeases you.”
- Jerry Hicks
“One of the most valuable things about Ask and It Is Given is that Abraham gives us 22 different powerful processes to achieve our goals. No matter where we are, there’s a process that can make our lives better. I love this book, and I love Esther and Jerry Hicks!”
— Louise Hay

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Although Jerry and Esther are listed as the authors, Ask and It Is Given is actually a collection of channeled messages from Abraham. Fans of Abraham and the Hicks may not find new information, but will probably be delighted to have an inspiring, updated book that speaks to the familiar conversation of attracting the life we want. Newcomers may also be intrigued by this excellent, in-depth discussion on how to change ones life by matching the vibrational energy of ones desires--taking the power of positive thinking to a whole new level.
Because this material is channeled, it often reads like The Power of Now or A Course in Miracles--not a fast food book to be devoured in one sitting. Rather, this is a book to be read in passages, with a soothing gestation period in between. It includes much advice on working with energy and emotions as well as specific chapters on increasing prosperity, reclaiming health, working with meditation, and clearing clutter for clarity. For those who are onboard with the "Laws of Attraction" and the "Art of Receiving" that Abraham speaks of, this could be one of those deliciously mysterious books that you can open to any page and it seems to offer the exact advice or insight you need right now.--Gail Hudson

They are among the most powerful and transformational I have ever encountered. Live them, and your life will become new and brilliantly happy.”
— Alan Cohen, the author of A Deep Breath of Life
“These incredibly profound, yet simple and practical teachings of Abraham will have you trusting your inner guidance again, and will set you on course for the most uplifting adventures imaginable. Ask and It Is Given is the road map to self-upliftment and a joyous life.”

- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2010Also, I'm writing this review as a response to PUMA'S 1-star. S/he seemed to have questions that seemed unanswered, so I thought I'd throw in my own two cents for those curiously inclined. :)
1. The ego and everything else is part of who you are. As Esther says, we are eternally and blissfully, incomplete.
The ego takes many forms, perhaps, like everything else.. we are to master control over it and find it's place. The ego only becomes an issue when it is imbalanced - like everything else in life.
2. Abraham sounds British? Sounds like the same Esther voice to me. Perhaps our definitions of "British accent" is different? Cause I see no pronunciation of the sort. But in either case, even if it were, the ENGLISH language should be spoken the way it was originally intended to be spoken (in my opinion).
So yes, I would expect an intelligent being to prefer to pronounce things the way the language was intended to, to begin with. Alas, this seems not the case. Still says nothing about intelligence. Words are just that. It's just my own personal preference. ;) So yeah, "LOL" indeed.
3. I think you've over-simplified the case in order to "prove" your perspective. Cute. And clearly the tactic works.
But what you fail to notice is that Abraham's teaching may be lingering through our "scrutiny." Perhaps Esther and Jerry read the book to a different level where they began to vibrate to the same level of the book. More deeply so than the general reaction. *shrug*
4. "Feeling good" through LOVE (why do you drop the LOVE bit in order to prove your case?) A mass murderer does not feel love or he wouldn't be murdering now would he? There is no simple answer for human wiring and their personal complexes.. but if the murderer feels good to the point where they feel they LOVE to kill - this is not in vibration to the pure love but in the corrupted wiring of deeper pain reflected through murder and harm (human are EXTREMELY expressive creatures) and we tend to express ourselves in the need to feel understood. People express chaos and harm when they have this inside of them.
Basic psychology.
5. Carve your thoughts, and you've carved an action, carve an action repetitively and you've carved a habit, carve the habit and you've carved a personality.. your personality equals your fate.
I can personally assure you that if you feel GENUINE, pure and clean love, the way it is CONSTANTLY emphasized, then you WILL be hooked upon taking action in order to EXPRESS your feelings into physical manifestations. Seems she's working on the heart of the whole operation - YOUR MIND.
Teach a child hate, he'll learn to kill. Teach a child love and she'll learn to nurture. Action stems from your (gasp) MIND! And if a fat person remains fat, clearly they are not thinking skinny, are they? I'm not saying they're not trying... or "thinking" .. I am saying that people tend to do things incorrectly by filtering information the "wrong" way. We're complex beings and it's only bound to happen.
Hence why we should know who we are and what works for us. But our feeling meter (so long as it's feeling good due to genuine contentment and not from a deeper underlying problem) does not fail us once.
6. Abraham explains this in their seminars. You should YouTube them sometime. I feel if I answer, I might butcher it due to trying to make such a complex answer reduced to a shorter comment response. *shrug* The answer is there though, feel free to seek if you truly wish to find.
7. "Superficial"? I think humanity has taught you to condemn that which has been overbalanced. (i.e "Beauty might turn you vain - you must not be proud if you are reasonably attractive - no no! it means you're vain!! VAIN!!!" - it does not.) Designer clothes are just another form of human expression. HUMANS *LOVE* to express themselves. Through our clothes, writing, contact lenses ANYTHING from big to small. Is this surprising to you?
Designer clothes make me feel privileged and comfortable (as long as the material, design, comfort is to my liking and style.) - your clothes shift your subconscious whether you're aware of it or not. Why neglect the little things that change your life?
Of course, I'm not saying that expensive clothes is THE ONLY thing you should wear. Again, that's an imbalance. And if you can prove that Abraham is trying to promote this, you'd have a case.
"Why do these Law Of Attraction books always target either ordinary people who want to become rich or rich people who want to become richer? "
Because the rich people don't really need them. And the generally poor are (coincidentally?) too pessimistic and lacking (in money/character) to afford interests in books/money, it seems.
8. Through getting what we want will we know what we need. Again, things tend to get a bad rap when it's had some form of history of primitive misuse. (i.e. That little girls has been given an imbalance of all she's ever wanted... causing her to be spoiled! IM NEVER GIVING MY CHILD ANYTHING HE WANTS AGAIN HE MUST LEARN TO APPRECIATE")
Hopefully mankind will learn to advance instead of desperately trying to change that which is easily solved by learning balance.
If you feel I might've left something out - feel free to point it out.
Like I said, I tried to keep my response as short as possible. But I'd like to leave a suggestion of my own..
Instead of asking a million questions and doubting ... why not give it a shot?
If you think it all sounds twisted and insane... you're right. It does. Cause the results are.
I can write an equally large amount of things I've manifested.. (all of which had eventually proven empty until I discovered the deeper things/meaning to life ;) ) but I wouldn't type such things on the internet for fear of sounding fake to those who don't believe, crazy to those who do, and arrogant to pessimists who focus on imbalance.
When in doubt, try it out.
Best of wishes,
- Aria
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2025I had been listening to Abraham Hicks segments for well over ten years on YouTube. I had heard everything that was said in this book many times over, but I thought it might still be a good idea to read it anyway. That was a major understatement. Reading the concepts has cemented them in my mind with a clarity that I did not have before. I can already see how much I am changing in my approach to life and finally living the way I intended when I came forth from Non-Physical into this physical time-space reality. If you're questioning whether or not to get this book, drop your doubts and go for it. It's well worth the price of one combo meal at a fast casual restaurant!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2011ASK AND IT IS GIVEN is amazing! It is one that you could read again and again because every time you read it you reinforce or see something you may have missed.
If you focus on what you can find good or can appreciate in a bad circumstance or situation, then good positive energy will flow and expand, and conditions will improve. That is helping others along with yourself. Your emotions let you know if you are connecting to your Source Energy, which is all-positive. If you feel bad, you are resisting the constant flow of Source Energy. If someone is cruel to you and you feel bad, think a good, positive thought and somehow try to see the good. The information is very simple without being oversimplified or condescending. It's extremely repetitive but repetition is what imbeds information into the brain. Step outside of your earth-bound ego of expecting to be a victim and hoping for some outside force to change. Take charge of your thought process. How do you see the world, with gratitude or grumbling?
Mythomania, toxic control freaks, and so many other delusional personality disorders require therapy and other horrible and sad conditions such as schizophrenia, and other forms of insanity require medication, but the "normal you and I" can gain so much from reading this book. The sad thing is that we all merely want to be liked and accepted by everyone but some push people away because of their own insecurity and lash out in bitterness from the rejection that they inevitably bring on themselves. Simple listening, understanding and reason would solve a lot of problems. But, one thing that is made clear is that we are responsible for our thoughts, to connect to our source energy by choosing better-feeling thoughts. We each are connected to this source and we can't do anything for others that they don't have the power to do. We need to follow our bliss. There wouldn't be war or murder. We have the power to change the way we see and from "seeing" good, we have the power to help others, through association, to help them want to see good and trust in the fact that most of us merely want camaraderie and peace. It is so simple. It is right in front of our noses. We just need to "choose" to see it and "the other person" needs to make that choice for himself. We can't do that for them. We need to "expect" the other person is doing the best he can in life and isn't "out to get us". I'd like to think that an evil, jealous heart can be healed. Sometimes, dealing with some is truly impossible and you need to remove yourself from an unhealthy situation in order to preserve your own peaceful, feel-good place. But, on the whole, do your best to "see" the good in people and the beauty of this earth, and trust that you will have all the peace and graciousness in heaven. We each chose to be born into this physical body. We get what we think about. We dwell on miserable, we get miserable. We dwell on ugly, we get ugly. Nothing is more important than feeling good, well-being, and we each are in total control of our thoughts. See ugly? Think about something beautiful. See miserable? Think about something happy and good. If everyone would connect to their Source Energy, there would be no assaults, insults, no jealousy, no insecurity, or no uncomfortable feelings of competition. Any feelings of insecurity and hatred are born from disconnection from who they are which Source Energy, (God) is. We all fear that evil person who deliberately intends harm to another, but it is not possible for someone who is connected to Source Energy to wish harm on another. If everyone read this book and "got it" we could quite possibly have "Heaven" right here on earth. This book is a winner and should be on all of our book shelves!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantabulous Book
I never believed in the Law of Attraction but this book which was recommended to me by my friend became the guidepost for me to project my thoughts to the external world.
Just finished the book and have already manifested many things and continue to manifest.
I never knew that it was me and my negative thought patterns that was bringing into my life those very situations and circumstances that I did not want to manifest. So I was exactly manifesting I did not want.
But this book from the very beginning has transformed the way I think and our place in the larger scheme of things and how does LoA works and more practically, various steps and processes that you too can bring to manifest your deepest thoughts, goals and desires.
Thanks a lot Jerry and Esther Hicks and of course Abraham Hicks!!!
