“One of the only people I know who pulls off punk rock and self-help simultaneously.”—Conner Habib

Power is what naturally results when everything needless and self-defeating is stripped out of your life. Are you prepared to dedicate 30 days to throwing off whatever conceals the greater self you have always suspected you are? If you’re unsure do not even begin this book.

In The Miracle Month, Mitch Horowitz, “a cross between Aleister Crowley and Alan Watts” (Duncan Trussell), provides a 30-day, self-enforced academy that disrupts, upends, and overthrows every social and self-imposed barrier to your innate power.

“This book,” Mitch writes, “is for people who would prefer nearly any alternative than to slide back into the anxiety, self-limitations, and half-in, half-out existence that they have known until now. Does that sound extreme? It is not. It is an open door to change.”

Mitch 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).

In 30 realizable, graspable steps you will reverse years of peer-enforced conformity and self-negation to become who you—rightly—sense you are.

“Horowitz comes across as the real deal: he is an authentic ‘adept mind’ and he knows his stuff.”—Boing Boing

“Convincing…takes us far from naïve doctrines.”—Paris Match

“Mitch is solid gold.”—David Lynch

Outer and Inner Miracles are One in "The Miracle Month"

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

I recall reading in a biography of the actor Sir Laurence Olivier, a description of his manner of building a character that the biography's author contrasted with that of the Method Acting school. While American actors who followed the Method would connect with a character by delving deep within their own emotions and subconscious minds, British actors like Sir Laurence were more likely to create a character by concentrating on outer elements like mannerisms and dress. In his exciting new book "The Miracle Month," Mitch Horowitz unifies the inner and outer, not to create a character for the stage, but to help you to become the person you want to be. Mitch presents an impactful action to take each day of your Miracle Month, and he begins with clothing on Day 1, with a chapter on personalizing and simplifying your wardrobe as a means of self-actualization. The accent on the outward appearance is bookended by the last chapter, "One Missing Thing," which tells a moving personal story to illuminate the quest for an undeveloped area of the self which may be your personal glass ceiling preventing your success. Though always inspiring, "The Miracle Method" is not always comfortable reading as Mitch confronts some of the darker areas of human nature. This darker note may have been inspired by the works of metaphysical author Vernon Howard, whom Horowitz names as a key influence on his newest book, and who had few illusions about humanity. This is not to suggest that "The Miracle Month" dwells on darkness. It is instead a motivating program of concrete daily steps to finding your personal greatness. Mitch never lets ethics and empathy fall by the wayside as he combines illuminating personal experiences with sharp insights, as well as explorations of classic authors like Emerson and Sun Tzu. I was especially excited to see an essay by writer and artist August Lamm included in Mitch's book. If you are willing to engage in 30 days of what Paul Fussell, writing about becoming a self-actualized person, called "a strenuous effort of discovery in which curiosity and originality are indispensable," then Mitch Horowitz's "The Miracle Month" may be the most impactful 30 days in your life.

A must-read and will be a book I reread annually

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

I’ve read several self-help books that give advice, some of which is obvious, some not so. They rarely make permanent changes in the individual. This book does. By the very format of “one concept and change per day,” I had the opportunity to really change and memorize the concepts.

In truth, I did not complete this book in 30 days. It took me 47 days, because some of the concepts took a few days to sink in and some required events or circumstances that did not occur that day. Because of that, I willed myself to wait until I could try each one before moving on to the next. It made all the difference.

I will be reading this book every year. It’s that good. Thank you Mitch, for writing this.

Refreshing read for this burnt-out occult junkie

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Considering that the vast majority of occult writers are self-serving hucksters at best, and propaganda agents of conspiratainment at their worst, this has been a thoroughly enjoyable read. Mitch has put out a gem of a “self-help” book with this one. I appreciate his approach to only using techniques that improve the quality of life and produce quantifiable results.
He also doesn’t appear to use the tried and true method of building a fan base to use as a Patreon, Kickstarter, etc social media marketing funnel to fund their bourgie alt-lifestyle.
Mitch seems to put in the effort and it shows in his body of work. Mitch draws from many schools of thought, from the more mundane world of self-help, Eastern thought, to more out-there Occultism and ultimately produces a modern, updated take on what is considered to be New Thought.

If you’re looking a little help getting out of this Covid-induced mental funk, other than eating your veggies, getting plenty of fresh air and some vigorous exercise... I can’t think of a better choice than this new book.

A most interesting and important book

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

I went into this book not knowing how to respond to some of the author's points. He seemed, at times, disingenuous and even disputing his own points, but I stayed with it and found that he was indeed leading the reader down a revolutionary path, albeit a convoluted one. This is a book that will have you questioning everything, but that is the ultimate secret.

Practical New Thought Practice for Everyone

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

Another great work from Horowitz. The Miracle Month offers practical exercises that challenge what we think about how we think and behave. This is a work folks can return to again and again as they move into new phases of life. His transparency and honesty is refreshing and brings you along on the journey instead of sharing you into it.

fun, provocative, and deeply useful

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

Mitch Horowitz is a rare bird: a writer capable of discussing, in practical terms, the extra-normal possibilities of life that are available to anyone with a little courage and imagination, without a whiff of hyperbole or condescension. Of course, the very idea of a "miracle month" can sound rather hyperbolic on its face, but the ways in which the title bears fruit may surprise you. Each chapter offers a challenge to common limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors, and in that sense, addressing each one seriously and honestly may lead to a majorly desirable renovation of your life. Of course, mileage will vary, but even in the chapters that you think are "not for you", there is much to be gained from just considering what your attitude is and why. The Miracle Month is, at the very least, a book of great questions. Even the chance to review your preexisting attitudes toward the topics it raises, can lead to personal revolution.
