Books like Luck by Barrie Dolnick
Luck is often seen as a random force, yet it quietly shapes daily outcomes—from finding the perfect parking spot to serendipitous encounters. Barrie Dolnick and Anthony Davidson explore how individuals can consciously influence luck. By examining historical and scientific perspectives—from early humanity, through rationalists, to mathematicians fascinated by probability—the authors reveal ancient tools such as the I Ching, astrology, tarot, and numerology, and show how they have been used to understand and seek fortune. They then guide readers through a Personal Luck Profile, offering practical steps to apply these insights and make informed choices to improve one’s blessings. The book blends historical research with actionable advice, inviting readers to turn luck from a mysterious companion into a purposeful resource.

From Feng Shui to holistic medicine, from aromatherapy candles to yoga weekends, spirituality is big business. It promises to soothe away the angst of modern living and to offer an antidote to shallow materialism.Selling Spirituality is a short, sharp, attack on this fallacy. It shows how spirituality has in fact become a powerful commodity in the global marketplace - a cultural addiction that reflects orthodox politics, curbs self-expression and colonizes Eastern beliefs.Exposing how spirituality has today come to embody the privatization of religion in the modern West, Jeremy Carrette and Richard King reveal the people and brands who profit from this corporate hijack, and explore how spirituality can be reclaimed as a means of resistance to capitalism and its deceptions.
