Highly sought-after self-development coach and mindfulness advocate Amber Lyon has released her much-anticipated book, You Are a Magnet: Guiding Principles for a Magnetic and Joyful Life. The book is a culmination of Lyon’s personal journey and potent teachings on magnetism, providing readers with a practical guide to unlocking their inner potential.
Magnetism, the new buzzword on the block, is redefined by Lyon as the ability to “create what you desire most, by attuning your inner state to that reality.” This internal shift, she argues, is the foundation for creating lasting external changes.
“We often focus on our goals so much that we stifle ourselves from taking action, because we’ve placed it somewhere out ahead of us,” she says. “The greatest lie we tell ourselves is that there will be a better time to start. The key to magnetism is aligning your thoughts and actions with the outcome you desire most.”
The book features 68 short guiding principles, each paired with actionable exercises and reminders to integrate the teachings. Each principle helps readers reconnect with their authentic selves, embody a true sense of self-worth, and act from a place of joy and purpose. Lyon emphasizes that life’s transformations start from within, and her book provides the practical tools to make this shift possible.
“It’s my personal mission to help teach others how their life can be better in this moment. It can be so simple, yet the self-development industry continues to mystify what are really universal truths. I want to cut through that and share what I know works from my own experience and from the work I do with clients,” shares Lyon.
Readers of the book will learn to break free from overthinking and negative inner narratives, enabling them to take action aligned with their highest potential. They will be guided to determine their core values and prioritize what truly matters, fostering a more authentic way of living. Lyon also teaches how to tap into one’s magnetic self, bringing the desired future into the present moment and accelerating goal achievement.
Moreover, the book’s last section, Living Through Joy, provides insights on rewiring the brain to notice moments of delight and cultivate positivity, which is foundational to magnetism, Lyon explains. It offers techniques to effortlessly attract opportunities and relationships by aligning with ideal outcomes. Finally, readers will learn to integrate their shadow self, surrendering shame and past fears and using pain for purpose, thereby stepping into their full power.
“In the private work I do with clients, I’ve learned that our shadow self, which is the parts of ourselves we’ve rejected or deemed unlovable, tends to rear its head as we reach for new things. That can look like getting emotionally triggered by simple things like traffic or minor arguments, or feeling deeply insecure, constantly comparing yourself to others. Integrating the pain of our past is required to open to the possibilities of the future.”
Lyon’s own journey, from navigating a turbulent upbringing, being put up for adoption while her father was addicted to methamphetamine, to the pressures of living and working in the modeling industry to becoming a self-development coach and advocate, enriches the book with real-life insights and practical wisdom. Through her Modern Mind platform, she has already touched countless lives, offering a space for mindful practices and community support.
You Are a Magnet is more than just a book; it is a call to action for anyone looking to transform their life from the inside out. Lyon’s heartfelt guidance and practical tools make this a must-read for those seeking to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
