This relates to the belief many people have that things will just come to them or if it's not easy it's not meant to be, etc. Action and lots of it is required in the process of manifestation. If people get an easy in or things come to them effortlessly great, but that's not always or usually the case in my experience. This is another LOA belief I question. Some have told me if you are in "flow" everything comes to you effortlessly. This seems a bit ethereal to work for most people and again related to this belief that mindset alone will materialize your desires.

I don't agree 100% with all these books but they are kind of interesting.
The first one, I found a weird little book in Stand book store called Ophiel: the art and practice of getting material things through visualization. I liked that the author came up with a few laws that he believed make it work. There's not much there about action but I like that it has some structure around it -- and some fun stories in there.
The other one I read was also strange -- Jane Roberts - I don't remember the title its written like the author was channeling someone called Seth. I don't really know how I feel about that part or if I think its true. The content its pretty good at times but sometimes its a bit extreme and not as grounded -- but its an interesting way to think about LOA.
Think and grow rich I think is technically an LOA book but I like that it goes from working on the mind to action planning.
Finally when I was in Australia I came across MJB seminars... I got a free recording of one of their events and its like a version of LOA with lots of action planning and other theories in there too.
Again, none of them are prefect but more in depth then what you get everywhere else. I'm a pretty down to earth person so most of these are a bit too out there for me.
