Leading edge

Hello

Esther and Jerry Hicks, the New York Times best-selling authors of Ask and It Is Given etc. produce the Leading Edge Abraham-Hicks teachings on the art of allowing our natural Well-Being to come forth.

1. Does it mean that the books they authored are very good (leading edge) and teach people the art how to let our Well-Being manifest itself? What is an easier way to write the same?

2. Does it mean that their website is known all over the world?
