Going beyond "The Secret, and making a brighter future.
"The Miracle Club" is a fantastic work, I would say it is Mitch Horowitz’s best book so far, and I’ve read the majority of his book, and "The Miracle Club" is one of the best books I’ve read in the last decade. In it Horowitz addresses one of the largest failings of the New Age, New Thought, Self-Help, and Human Potential Movement books to be written in recent years, most importantly, the failure of such teachers to encourage their students to look at ethics.I’ve been heavily involved in the New Age and Holistic movement for over a decade now, and have found that there is a serious lack of ethics and moral understanding in much of the modern teachings that are being sold to students. In particular this is very noticeable in the Law of Attraction (LoA) and New Thought movements, as Horowitz points out The Science of Getting Rich, which was used to create The Secret, was a tritest by a socialistic minister on how to use positive thinking to even out the power balance between the Owners and the Works, and now has been used to create a weak and watered down understanding of how to use positive thinking to get worldly goods, without looking at the other aspects of how New Thought/LoA can be used to better the world, along with oneself.This is not to say that Horowitz doesn’t give insight into how to use Positive Metaphysics to gain material goods, however, what Horowitz focuses on is how to dig deep into yourself and make sure what you believe you want is what you want, and then how to go about using Positive Metaphysics, a concrete directed aim, and the knowledge that you may have to apply “real life” skills to help bring about the changes in your life; it’s not just about positive thinking.Horowitz not only stands on the shoulders of giants in the making of this book, but he reaches far above them. He has taken teachings and concepts that are often consider passé or outdated and turned them from dross into gold for new generations of spiritual seekers, giving guideposts and trailer makers for fellow travelers, and more importantly, hope for those who are trying to find ways to live a spiritual life, and yet make change in the world.

Wow!
I first heard about this book On Whitley Strieber's Dreamland. It's one of the best of its kind I've ever read. Horowitz lays out his beliefs, techniques, and philosophy is such a clear, straightforward way that I was riveted throughout. What's particularly interesting is that as a former editor, he used to buy New Age - New Thought - books like this. But The Miracle Club is unique.Horowitz provides historical backdrops for the idea that our imaginations and emotions create our experiences. I found the material on Neville Goddard fascinating and was intrigued by the author's inclusion of personal anecdotes about how Goddard's simple techniques have worked for him. Now I'm off to buy Horowitz's other books. This one really deserves 10 stars!

Very deep and thought provoking
This is the first book I have read of the authors, I came to know him from an interview on inspire nation, so I was excited to read this book, I pre ordered it on my kindle and audible, this book is very deep and thought provoking, with mitch being a very well know historian on new thought, esoterics and the like he delves deep into those aspects. I learned a lot from this book he talks a lot about the new thought leaders of the past and with Neville goodard being one of my favorites I got to learn a lot about him and his past. I really enjoyed this book its not your typical woo woo type book but gets to the history of the new thought era and positive thinking. It gave me a lot of new insights. Like Mitch quotes be your own experiment thats the only way you will know and that is point on.

Brilliant!
I've been a fan of Mitch and his work for years now. His excellence in telling history knows no bounds. His entry into working with your own thoughts is up to the challenge too. Your thoughts are causative. Yes. The methods described have cousins in many schools of thought and the occult. Those are the places people searched for real methods to gain real results. Mitch brings them here. The directions of achieving proper mental state and what to do with it are worth your price of admission. I found myself highlighting many paragraphs for further investigation. But the book. Read it. Next, Try it!

The future is bright! (Or at least it CAN be)
Mitch's work is intelligent, exciting, and thorough. I have spent the last few hours going over his latest offering and it's densely packed with every relevant topic and how to put those topics clearly in motion!

Excellent
Faaaantastic.I had to skim through most of it after getting through half of it, but that's because I received what I needed to after many, many hours of this study. Mitch says a LOT, interwoven with stories, humor, and a ton of study and experience.And yet, he remains humble and doesn't say quite a bit of what he has personally experienced to keep the book as objective as can be.I'd like to hear the stories he isn't telling!And since I think my account is definitely not linked to the one I use or even look at, i place my contact belowww. Mitch, I'd love love love to hear from you!.. please tell me a story that I just know you were dying to put in. And then keep this story for your future use. 🙃[email protected]

The title says it all
Being such a huge fan of the author makes it really exciting to get my hands on his newest copy. How thoughts become reality is the way life works.

Padded Collection of Previously Published Material
I was looking forward to this much-hyped title, and bought both the Kindle and Audible versions. Unfortunately, it seems to be little more than a padded collection of blog posts, articles and previously published material. If you are familiar with Mitch's articles on Medium and various blogs, or you have seen more than a few of his lectures on Youtube or the New Thought Channel, you won't find anything new here. Affirmations, visualisation, meditation and having a clear goal are the recommended technologies, and although Mitch tries to give these a new spin, it feels like repackaging.I'd advise reading the original works of Napoleon Hill, Neville Goddard and James Allen (all of which are in the public domain) rather than rehashed versions.

Excellent synthesis
This is a very readable book that gives a lot more substance to the subject. His history and research on New Thought is very useful. I also got the audio book to listen to when I travel.

Not worth buying
The title sounds impressive - that's all. "The Miracle Club" is - to my mind - not a book but a collection of briefly written blog articles and personal opinions (and statements).Five to ten percent of its content might be considered as of some value. Nevertheless these five to ten percent everyone can "google" in an instant.With all the best intention and respect to the author, this "book" is utterly overrated.

Read me
I bought this book after hearing a good recommendation from Gordon White of Rune Soup. Gordon thought it was the best book he read in 2018. I think it is in my best book section as well. I plan to wait a bit and read it again.

Convincing! Convaincant!
Franchement, les livres de ce genre (New Thought, "positive thinking") généralement je n'accroche pas. MAis celui-là l'aborde de façon tellement intelligente et convaincante qu'il est bluffant. Je ne veux pas spoiler quoi que ce soit : mais le titre s'explique. C'est un page-turner. Rien à voir avec la litanie du Secret et autres. Mitch aborde le thème en profondeur, sans avoir peur de toucher à des sujets ésotériques ou occultes. Une excellent découverte qui me fait reconsidérer toute cette littérature!
