Book excerpt: You Are More Powerful Than You Realize In The Miracle Month, Mitch Horowitz, “one of the few figures to break through into mainstream and national media as a voice of esoteric ideas” (Science of Mind), provides a 30-day, self-enforced academy that disrupts, upends, and overthrows every social and self-imposed barrier to your innate power. This second edition includes an all-new reading group guide—perfectly suited to solitary readers, as well—in which Mitch leads you more deeply into each day’s exercise. The Miracle Month helps you “Understand Power” (Day 9), “Give Up One Thing That Causes You Pain” (Day 13), realize “You Are Not Someone Else’s Decision” (Day 27), and confront the question: “Do You Enjoy Suffering?” (Day 26). At every point, Mitch writes bluntly and transparently about his own experiences using these exercises so that you are never alone and are joined by him on the 30-day journey to your most authentic, effective, and expressive self. “We need a philosophy of actuality,” Mitch writes in the reading group guide. “Of results. One that honors the goals of the individual rather than seeking to deny, rearrange, or ignore them.” In The Miracle Month, you will find this philosophy—and yourself.
