Bestselling author and teacher Alan Cohen says yes. In coaching and leading seminars for thousands of people over many years, Alan has identified three groups of people who struggle with issues of money, prosperity and spiritual life. Some have high-flying jobs but are miserable in the profit-over-people grind; some are already entrepreneurs, but are working too hard for too little, struggling to find the freedom on their chosen path; and others still are happy being creative and free, rather than making millions, but still need to generate an income and pay bills. Spirit Means Business speaks to all three groups, demonstrating that it is possible to achieve big career success and enjoy passion and soul fulfilment. Alan identifies the 10 primary illusions that keep people separated from spirit and prosperity, then shows readers how to overcome these illusions with higher principles that always work when we apply them consciously. The book includes many down-to-earth examples of individuals who have combined soul and success, plus many clear formulas to bridge the gaps and surmount the hurdles along the way.
