Spirit Means Business: The Way to Prosper Wildly without Selling Your Soul

by Alan Cohen

Beloved author and teacher Alan Cohen (A Course in Miracles Made Easy) uses his idiosyncratic, insightful spin on spiritual wisdom to show that we can enjoy significant career and financial success and be true to our passion and soul's calling.

Can you create material success and keep your spirit alive? Is it possible to combine prosperity with purpose and passion? Can you sell your product without losing your soul?

Expert coach and beloved teacher Alan Cohen demonstrates the answer is yes. In Spirit Means Business, he identifies--and then dismantles--the 10 primary illusions that keep us from connecting spirituality and prosperity. To name a few:

  *  If you want to succeed, you have to suffer first

  *  There's only so much to go around

  *  Competition is healthy and necessary

  *  To do well in your work, you must give up your life

In each case, Alan shows us how to replace the illusion with a higher truth, using principles that always work when we apply them consciously. You'll learn from down-to-earth examples of individuals who have combined soul and success, and you'll find crisp, clear formulas to bridge the gaps and surmount the hurdles along the way.

Drawing on wisdom sources from the Tao Te Ching to A Course in Miracles, as well as stories from Alan's clients and his own life, this book will help you navigate a spiritually sound path to the success you desire.

Ο Άλαν Κόεν είναι ένας συγγραφέας με διεθνή αναγνώριση στον τομέα των βιβλίων πνευματικής αναζήτησης, ευ ζην καί αυτοβελτίωσης. Πρόσφατα κυκλοφόρησε στην χώρα μας, από τις εκδόσεις Ιβίσκος, το βιβλίο του, με τίτλο ''Ζήσε με Αφθονία Χωρίς να Πουλήσεις την Ψυχή σου". Ένα βιβλίο που μου κίνησε το ενδιαφέρον λόγω του τίτλου του. Βλέπετε, πολύ συχνά χρησιμοποιούμε την φράση ''πούλησε μέχρι καί την ψυχή του/της για να αποκτήσει όλα όσα έχει'' για να τονίσουμε τα λεγόμενά μας. Μα όσο το καλοσκέφτομαι, μία απορία τριβιλίζει όλο καί περισσότερο το μυαλό μου, δίχως να με αφήνει σε ησυχία. Άραγε, αξίζει να θυσιάσουμε κάτι τόσο πολύτιμο, όπως η ψυχή μας, ώστε να ζήσουμε μέσα στην αφθονία, που κυρίως μας παρέχουν τα υλικά αγαθά; Μήπως πρέπει να εστιάσουμε την προσοχή μας αλλού; Μήπως τελικά η αφθονία προκύπτει από ένα συνδυασμό μεταξύ πνευματικής ισορροπίας καί γαλήνης καί επαγγελματικής σταδιοδρομίας; Σε .όλα αυτά τα ερωτήματα θα μας απαντήσει ο συγγραφέας μέσα από το βιβλίο του, με έναν λόγο απλό, κατανοητό καί βασισμένο σε καθημερινά παραδείγματα.

I wanted to give this a 5. It’s so close, it was just like 15 Elon Musk mentions above any book I could ever give a full 5 to. With that said, there is so much good here. Elon musk is like the joker in a Batman movie, the business villain extraordinaire. I’m glad he inspired this work so much, but I like the work despite the Musk references. It is disappointing this review has to mention him so much, but there’s no other choice.

This book was suggested to me by my "life coach" as we moved towards working on one's "relationship with money, work, career". While Alan Cohen's teachings can seem to be grounded in spirituality, the book contains several worksheets that make you explore your relationship with money, your job, your career, etc. Its a good framework for anyone who wants to take stock of their pursuits and the rewards they may or may not result in. If taken with an open mind, the work can help one "realign" their passions, purpose, and gain clarity in their work and interactions with others.. Not a "touchy, feely" book that tells you money isnt everything, but a 360 review and exercise to help us integrate the pursuit of wealth with other aspects of life and our humanity.
