About This Book
The title character of this soothingly crass self-help parable is an avuncular
wheelbarrow-factory CEO who casually addresses God as "Hank." Bert Everit’s
secret, a business-inflected mixture of positive thinking and fatalism, is that
mindset determines reality. On the macroeconomic level, recessions are purely
psychological, the fallout of irrational crises in consumer confidence that
inhibit the exuberant circulation of money. On the microeconomic level, personal
failure is the result of self-limiting "pygmy thoughts" and the lack of a
"wealth mentality," while even the lousiest jobs-as demonstrated by a joyously
singing toll-booth clerk-can be made heavenly by a determinedly blissful
attitude. Fortunately, if we have faith that "when you lighten up and follow
your intuition you will be guided to where you need to be," the universe will
shower its abundance-better jobs, houses, fabulous bequests from long-lost
relatives-virtually in our laps. Cohen, a motivational guru and author (The
Dragon Doesn’t Live Here Anymore), demands little of readers, telling them that
"ease is a more effective success attitude than struggle" and that "there is
always a next level of relaxation you can go to in any situation." But when it
comes to the ethics of monetary circulation-don’t give money to beggars, who
will just blow it on lottery tickets and booze, but do put that $250 sweater on
your maxed-out credit card since "people who love and believe in themselves give
themselves what makes them happy"-Mr. Everit’s credo of guiltless
self-indulgence shades into selfishness. --Publishers Weekly
