Esther Hicks narrating her own work is not a neutral choice. It's a deliberate extension of how Abraham-Hicks teachings have always been delivered: in first person, with the authority of someone who treats the material not as information but as lived experience. Money, and the Law of Attraction is the second book in the Abraham-Hicks series, and this audiobook carries the same experiential quality that distinguishes in-person workshops from written texts. I listened to the opening hour during a long walk on a gray January morning, and what struck me immediately was how consistently Hicks modulates between explanation and instruction, between describing the mechanism and telling you precisely how to use it.
The book is structured as five essays, moving through financial well-being, the body, weight and mindset, and career as a source of pleasure. That structure is worth knowing in advance because it shapes how the audiobook functions: each essay is essentially complete in itself, which means you can return to specific sections as your circumstances change rather than treating the whole as a linear progression. The bonus excerpt from a live Abraham-Hicks workshop on the Art of Allowing is a useful addition, giving a sense of how these teachings function in a live context compared to the written and recorded essay format.
What Esther Hicks Delivers
Hicks narrates with the cadence of someone who has delivered these ideas in workshops for years. The pacing is deliberate rather than rushed, and she allows key phrases the kind of space that lets them land as concepts rather than simply pass as sentences. The Law of Attraction framework, built around the principle that your predominant thoughts and feelings form your point of attraction, is presented here with specific attention to the two areas where most people feel that framework most acutely: money and physical health.
What separates this audiobook from more generic Law of Attraction content is the specificity of the practical techniques. The 'pivoting' method, shifting attention deliberately away from what you don't want toward what you do, is explained not as a vague attitude adjustment but as a concrete practice with distinct steps. The 'positive aspects' process, used to stabilize a better-feeling point of attraction when circumstances are already causing stress, is walked through with enough detail that a listener can actually attempt it during or immediately after the relevant passage. One reviewer who assessed the book from a non-spiritual perspective noted that even approaching the Law of Attraction as simply 'if you think about something enough, you'll probably end up doing it,' the practical techniques retain their usefulness.
The financial section is where many listeners will spend the most focused attention. Hicks builds an argument, channeling Abraham, that financial well-being follows naturally from a fundamental shift in how you relate to abundance and scarcity at the level of feeling rather than strategy. This isn't conventional financial advice about budgeting or investment. It's a philosophical and experiential argument that your relationship to money is determined by your habitual emotional state around it, and that changing those emotional habits changes what you draw into your life.
For listeners who are skeptical of metaphysical frameworks, this section will require either a willingness to engage with the premises or a decision to abstract the teachings into psychological terms. The reviewer who connected this material to Earl Nightingale's 1956 secular take on similar ideas, 'if you think about something enough, you'll probably end up doing it,' is pointing toward a real compatibility between the Abraham-Hicks teachings and more conventional cognitive-behavioral frameworks. The techniques work whether or not you accept the cosmological explanation for why they work.
Where Esther Hicks Loses Some Ground
Listeners who are new to Esther and Jerry Hicks should know that the Abraham-Hicks teachings involve a channeling framework: Abraham is described as a non-physical consciousness speaking through Esther Hicks. The audiobook doesn't spend time explaining or defending this framework. It proceeds from it as a given. For listeners who find that premise meaningful, the material will feel authoritative and grounded in a kind of cosmic wisdom. For listeners who prefer secular framing, the techniques are still accessible, but the explanatory structure around them will require some translation.
The body and health sections cover weight, mindset, and physical experience in ways that overlap significantly with other mind-body wellness frameworks. Some of the content around health and physical conditions may feel reductive to listeners with chronic illness or complex medical histories, as the teachings consistently locate the source of physical experience in thought and emotion. This is core to the Abraham-Hicks worldview and won't be softened or qualified within the text itself.
The workshop bonus excerpt at the end of the audiobook is a different listening experience from the essays: more conversational, more responsive to specific questions, and more immediate in its energy. Listeners who find the essay sections too abstract may find the workshop segment more accessible, while those who prefer the structured essay format may find the workshop excerpt less satisfying. Worth knowing in advance so expectations are set correctly.
Who Should Pick Up Money, and the Law of Attraction
This audiobook is aimed squarely at listeners who are already interested in Law of Attraction teachings, either as practitioners or curious newcomers. If you've read or listened to the first Abraham series title, Ask and It Is Given, this continues the framework with specific application to financial and physical well-being. The self-narration by Esther Hicks is part of the experience rather than a production choice, and listeners who want a professional narrator's performance should know they're getting the source voice instead. Skip it if Law of Attraction frameworks are categorically outside your interests, or if you're looking for evidence-based financial or health guidance.
Before You Press Play

- Verdict: A focused audiobook for listeners engaged with Law of Attraction philosophy, offering specific techniques for shifting emotional patterns around money and well-being.
Should I listen to Ask and It Is Given before this audiobook?
One reviewer recommends it, describing the first Abraham series title as a great introduction to the Law of Attraction framework. That said, Money, and the Law of Attraction can stand on its own. It explains its core premises as it goes, so new listeners won't be lost, but prior familiarity with the Abraham-Hicks framework does make the financial and health sections land more smoothly.
Does the audiobook require belief in the Abraham channeling framework to be useful?
Not entirely. Several reviewers engage with the material from secular or non-spiritual perspectives, treating the techniques as cognitive or psychological tools rather than metaphysical ones. The pivoting and positive aspects practices work as behavioral techniques even without accepting the cosmological explanation for why they function. The framework is present throughout, but the practical content is separable from it.
What does the bonus workshop excerpt in the audiobook add?
The live workshop segment is more conversational and immediate than the five structured essays. It gives a sense of how Hicks delivers these teachings in a responsive setting, fielding specific questions rather than building structured arguments. Some listeners find it more accessible than the essay format; others prefer the organized essay structure. It's a genuine addition rather than padding.
How is this audiobook different from other Law of Attraction titles?
The specific focus on two life areas, financial well-being and physical health, makes it more targeted than general Law of Attraction overviews. The techniques, particularly pivoting and positive aspects, are explained with enough practical specificity that listeners can apply them directly. The self-narration by Esther Hicks also gives it a quality that recordings by other narrators don't replicate.
