Scripting the Life You Want: Manifest Your Dreams with Just Pen and Paper

Actor Christyn (Eigengrau) argues that “you really can be anything you want and have anything you want even if it seems impossible” in a work that’s long on conviction but short on advice. Christyn writes of how he discovered “scripting” (articulating a desire in some fashion) as a means to manifest one’s desires, and of finding what he believes is the most effective way. To do this, he recommends writing a daily want script and want list filled with desires and actions to carry them out. There is a pleasant earnestness to Christyn’s excitement, but despite the author’s declared love of science and research, citations often refer to blogs, websites (including Wikipedia), and other sources that lack peer-review by professional organizations; as such, it’s tough to swallow some of the book’s wilder claims, among them the technological singularity and that reality could just be “conscious beings causing each other’s experiences.” Still, those already interested in the concept of scripting and the actualization of one’s intentions will be moved by Christyn’s optimistic work.
