This is horrible. Just horrible.
A guy on Medium.com Anthony B wrote on self-help books the following:
=============

If you’ve just gotten into self-help and have read about 5 or more self-help books, you would’ve noticed that they always give the same sorts of advice:

“Nothing in the world is good nor bad, it is your mind that creates the meaning”
“Your ego is the bad guy”
“You need to be present 100% of the time”
“Ignore your emotions because your brain is plastic”
“Go meditate”
“Don’t sleep, instead use it to make more money”

==========
Don't know the guy but he's 100% right. Got this book recommended to me. These books are a bit like horoscopes. They are always true. What I dislike about these books is they all claim to be unique and authentic and urge us to be more authentic.
Random quoting famous and not so famous people so seek confirmation of ramblings you might hear in a drunk conversation in a bar. If you're a self-help book addict this one is pure heroine. It ticks all the 'very unique' boxes.

Horowitz has done it again. He's written a book that is focused on personal development and rooted in spiritual principles that with their application can help people bring about major changes in their lives. A theme that runs through all of Horowitz’s work is that we all seek personal power on one level or another and even those one the spiritual path. Power itself is not evil, even on the spiritual path, it is the lack of ethics and psychological development/maturity that causes the misuse of power. The habits that Horowitz lays out through this book encourage the development of a stronger personal ethic than most people take the time to develop in the modern world. If you’re devoted to personal development or to living a spiritual life that is actually about making the world a better place, this is a book that you should read.

A guide that delivers results

I chose to read The Miracle Habits because I'd enjoyed previous books by Horowitz (One Simple Idea, The Miracle Club, The Miracle Of a Definite Chief Aim) and wanted to explore a system for more consistently creating beneficial happenstances. I could not be happier with the results. I read the book one chapter a week. Each week, I experienced delightful surprises, and one week, they compounded so suddenly, I was blown away. My sister was a witness to a cascade of miracles (that came after my mother's death) that no one could have predicted in our wildest imaginations. Bears rereading again and again. I was constantly finding material that spoke to me in different ways at different times. Five stars are not enough for this eminently practical, effective volume.

In one way I really like this authors work - almost reinventing or discussing classic self help literature for recent times - going deeper into them and dissecting them to uncover or discuss gems of wisdom can be enlightening

But this was his first book after discovering his work that I have been put of for the first entirely some parts — but give it 3 starts for the stuff that as good

First the way he casually talked about ritual magic and the occult (even quoting satanists) like it’s normal… or the same or on par with things like meditation and affirmation etc — was disturbing !

And with references to the Talmud - another controversial and somewhat disturbing read to say the least in regards to some quotes in it … makes me wonder…

I think I’ve been generous come to think of it with the 3 stars - but I’m a man who gives credit where it’s due and his other 3 or 4 books I’d read so far prior were good including aspects of this no doubt - but yeh I’m left wondering !

The Miracle Habits delivers exactly what you would expect from Mitch Horowitz: clear, powerful writing that's incredibly easy to digest. As someone who's read three or four of his books, I really like his straightforward approach.

If you're a seasoned reader of personal development, you won't find groundbreaking new material here. But that's not really the point. Horowitz functions more like an expert summarizer, taking familiar concepts and presenting them in a way that serve as reminders of principles you might have read elsewhere. The book's real value is it accessibility. It's such an easy read that revisiting these concepts feels natural and worthwhile.

If you're new to this genre then you might get even more out of this book. (Though I'd actually recommend starting with The Miracle Club, which is his best work.) For everyone else, think of this as a clear, well-structured reminder of things you should be doing and should know.

I enjoyed it enough to give it four stars, which feels fair given what the book sets out to do. I'll definitely read more from him in the future. Recommended.

A very good book about creating habits to become more productive with your day. Obviously, these kinds of books devolve into nothing more than hoping to create a utilitarian capitalist subject, rather than giving space to personal authenticity and ability to resist dominant capitalist systems of oppression, and this book does at times fall into that kind of self-help book. However, Horowitz does have some self-awareness of these pitfalls and does try to address some of them. Regardless, with Covid keeping me in lockdown, I needed something that would create some inspiration in me to stay active and engaged with life and this book helped tremendously with keeping my head straight.

Really loved this book. Although some of the habits I had prior to the book, it was still great to finally see some conclusions that I had to come by personal experience 0ut in better words, compared to others experiences, compared to many great minds thoughts etc.
And some new ones were really very timely.
Also I like how it doesn't dwell on clichés of self-help books and philosophy that can leave one not to know how to use in real life.

Mitch Horowitz brings teachings from millennial Masters into today's modern complexities. On a perpetual and personal path of seeking, Mitch pinpoints several habits that help create miracles in his life. He speaks about the values that he lives by, and about keeping good habits for good structure. The lessons are clear and sound simple, yet they hold deeper knowledge than is initially apparent.

grounded, nuanced and contextualized application of occult, new age/new thought, and magical concepts. feels like getting several inspirational and motivating—but also actionable—talks from a favorite uncle.

[Timothy Ball · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Radical self responsibility, no single habit is more ennobling and charismatic then keeping your word and honoring your commitments, all of them. You must also ask for what you want in return. Value the enacting of solutions over the deciphering of causes."

[Kaven · Rating 4 out of 5]

Horowitz should be in the regular rotation. his practical & intellectual approach to New Thought, often considered silly, is anything but. i appreciate Mitch’s balance of personal anecdotes with historical examples & empirical evidence. on a mission to read all of his work!

[cristina leira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Inspirational and thought-provoking!

I thoroughly enjoyed Mitch's unapologetic brilliant mind. This is a must-read for those seeking to enter the
portal of their deepest creative juices.

Good reminders, somewhat based on Napoleon Hill

Useful

Learnt a few things. Not bad at all. I'm definitely going to do a re read for this one just to pick up on things that I might have missed.
