Shotgun Shopping – How to Materialize Anything You want Through the Metaphor of Shopping by Sheevaun Moran
Shotgun Shopping by Sheevaun Moran is an insight into how you can use the art of non-shopping to get what you really want in life
My Book Review Rating: 3 stars – I can appreciate the sentiment, but it’s not really my thing!
If you are a shopaholic, and you have closets lined with purchases that you bought on a whim or with the hope that you might one day be slim enough to fit into it then this book is for you.
Moran walks you through the steps you need to take to become a more effective shopper, and to ensure that the purchases you make will add value to you and your life, rather than being a drain on your bank account.
It’s a quick read – I polished it off in less than an hour – and it does contain some useful tips and insights. It all got a little bit too new age for me though in the penultimate chapters!
Shotgun Shopping is essential for shoppers in the current economy, where people still need to make purchases. This book gives them tools to have clarity and get what they want at significant savings. Sheevaun Moran shares the experiences of growing up and going shopping, she means being dragged along, with her mom. The rub is that her mom was a shopaholic and Sheevaun, who could have cared less, was the best dressed tomboy in town. When Sheevaun became a corporate junkie and traveled she had to buy nice things all without shopping. Sheevaun calls it "non-shopping". When people stop her and ask where she got something she is wearing she tells them she got it through Shogun Shopping. Everyone strangely understood. The premise of the book is that although we are constantly shopping, we shop unconsciously. Whether we're looking for a purse, new job, new broker or a new relationship, if we are thinking about it and looking for it, we're shopping. Without enough intention or specificity we end up in negative buying situations. We end up owning something that isn t exactly what we wanted or exactly what works for our life . Shopping has its lovers and aholics but this book takes a fresh look at shopping and is for those who don t love to shop but still love to get what they want. While Shotgun Shopping is filled with stories and fun there s a deeper message. That message is about giving everyone tools to actually get what they want . There was the Secret and while it works, it is definitely only a small sliver of how to get what you want. Shotgun Shopping has the tools to actually manifest. The stories shared in Shotgun Shopping are filled with lessons for everyone. Through the tools, tips and techniques you will learn to get into the highest state that can result in ultimate manifestation. Some of what has been said about Shotgun Shopping - My favorite story is about how she s late for the Dalai Llama for a pair of shoes and gets a real reminder about following her own advice. Cindy Cashman, million selling author - What a fantastic way to transform a wider audience to believing that they can have what they want. - I manifested the motorcycle that I had been dreaming about for years, just by reading your book. Leila There are stories about how Sheevaun got a $30,000 baby grand piano for $1300, how she almost missed the Dalai Llama for a pair of shoes and how she got a $600 pair of designer shoes for $68. The book is filled with humorous, yet practical, tips, tricks, and techniques that share how to become an expert at getting anything you want - apartment, job, vacation or whatever your heart desires. You gain understanding and actual techniques to get clear about what you want, don t want and will function from a place of their inner self, rather than from external stimuli. The most successful spiritual teachers who have lived have all been master materializers. Through what may seem frivolous techniques, each person who reads "Shotgun Shopping" takes a step closer to being their own master, even if only at the supermarket.

Written just like a great conversation with a good friend, Shotgun Shopping will make you laugh out loud while sneaking in subtle lessons about focus, clarity and manifesting. Sheevaun is a master manifester - her booty includes Manolos, designer clothes and a Baby Grand among other loot - all effortlessly produced at rock-bottom prices by focus, thought and energy. What I found most extraordinary was the way she completely erases the line we all draw between the spiritual and the material world. Manifesting is manifesting, whether it's a pair of shoes or inner peace. In the same way, you can take this book as a frothy romp through the mall or a deep and clever guide to achieving an advanced state of focus and clarity, which will bring you anything your heart desires.
Sweet and to the Point

I loved this book because I had a lot of "Aha!" moments... like the time I went to buy sunglasses and had only one requirement: that they be comfortable. After trying on different pairs, I narrowed it down to two. Instead of going with my instincts, I asked the saleslady which pair she thought looked better on me?? (lack of focus!) Driving away, I had a nasty feeling I would be returning them as they had already started bugging me. As it turns out, I spent some gas, an afternoon, and my time returning them a week later only to pick up the pair I instinctively wanted to go with. Shotgun Shopping gives a lot of good advice and made me aware - among other things - of the value I want to place on my time. Thank you - I wish I had read it sooner!
