Acting Like Godot will become famous soon enough

This is my opinion:

Willpower implies resistance. In other words, you want X, but you see that there are various big obstacles A, B, C, D, E blocking your way. And you need willpower to overcome those obstacles.

Whereas the book you're reading talks about the non-necessity of will. In other words, you want X, and there is no resistance because there are no obstacles. You ask, and it is given.

If you read the latest Abraham Hicks book "The Astonishing Power of Emotions", you'll see that one of its major propositions is that the optimal way to be, do or have what you want, is to relax, be positive, and let the universe bring you what you want. The attitude of relaxed, positive confidence is key.

Of course, easier said than done.
