The Yoga of Money
ByPublisher Description
Money is not merely a tool or problem—it is the most misunderstood spiritual medium of human life.
Mistreated, money fractures relationships and friendships. It is a fount of fear, anger, and conflicting emotions.
Treated rightly, money uplifts lives, procures beauty and education, builds relationships, and ceases to provoke anxiety.
Is there a yoga—a unity—of material resources?
In The Yoga of Money, acclaimed voice of esoteric ideas Mitch Horowitz explores how humanity’s spiritual and ethical traditions, from antiquity to modernity, have sought—sometimes uneasily—to reach a philosophy of meaningful, sound, and effective treatment of currency and resources.
As Mitch considers, money is the core exchange of life. Given that, it must be elevated, recognized, and treated with wisdom and care. Money demands simplicity of approach. Once this truth is seen, the solutions become plain.
In this handbook on money, Mitch explores:
Money, properly understood, is the central expression of our existence—it is the universal medium of human transaction. Once grasped, that insight makes everything about it easier.
Like Deepak Chopra’s The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and Scott Galloway’s The Algebra of Happiness, The Yoga of Money is a grounded, penetrating, and result-driven guide to one of life’s most vexing arenas. Possessing flinty realism, The Yoga of Money is as impactful as money itself.
Mitch Horowitz is a PEN Award-winning historian, writer, and lecturer who explores the intersections of metaphysics, ethics, and self-transformation. His books include Occult America, The Miracle Club, Modern Occultism, Daydream Believer, and Practical Magick. Mitch is featured in Critics’ Choice-nominated and Sundance-premiering films, as well as numerous television shows.

In this handbook on money, Mitch explores:
- Liberating approaches to currency and commerce from our earliest surviving traditions, including the I Ching, Confucianism, Taoism, Hermeticism, Platonism, the Abrahamic faiths, and the Vedas.
- Overlooked classical and metaphysical teachings for handling and earning money.
- Why money provokes fear and division, amid both plenty and lack.
- The insights of modern spiritual thinkers who have meaningfully framed money, including G.I. Gurdjieff, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and others.
- Forgotten or misrepresented teachings about money-getting practices.
- Why “managing money” is the wrong approach, rarely producing happiness or solvency.
- How to find ease, plenty, and productiveness in money so that it reflects rather than degrades your life.
