In Spirit Means Business, he identifies--and then dismantles--the 10 primary illusions that keep us from connecting spirituality and prosperity.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Cohen delivers an inspiring manifesto against the false dichotomy of spirituality and wealth. The text is accessible, offering ten core illusions that many professionals unknowingly perpetuate. However, readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or complex philosophical debate will find this work lacking depth. It is not suited for skeptics who demand empirical evidence over intuitive frameworks. Those looking for gritty, step-by-step business tactics may also feel disappointed by its emphasis on mindset over mechanics. Ultimately, it is a comforting, affirming read for believers in the law of attraction but offers little novelty to those already well-versed in New Thought principles.

A friend in my study group recommended this one. You can tell why this work has endured. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Good, with the caveats above.

Added this to my reference shelf. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Happy enough with the purchase.
