I was actually one of those that purchased Joe Vitale’s “Spiritual Marketing” years and years ago off Amazon.  I believe it was self-published and I read it around the time I was discovering the whole genre of “law of attraction”.

To be honest, I haven’t really touched any of his stuff since then and I’m not sure why (or at least I don’t remember).  I might have been turned off with the whole idea or maybe I just didn’t run across it again.  I also have grown to have a bit of a distaste for the “Secret” crowd and their ilk.  The fact is I just think it’s a very shallow philosophy and mostly designed to make author’s rich.

All of that said, I enjoyed this book.  I think it does a much better job of explaining how the “law of attraction” can actually work in your life.  He doesn’t discount the role of effort and, in fact, emphasizes it’s importance.  He explains that for him it doesn’t feel like effort anymore because he loves so much what he does.  But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t put serious hours into what he does.

Nobody can claim that Mr. Vitale hasn’t led an interesting life and this book does a great job of “framing” his experience with what he has learned from it.

Overall, I think this book is a more mature treatment of this topic and worth the read if you are either fed up but still interested or are just starting to read in this area.
