Spiritual Marketing

When I first wrote this book, I was living in Houston. After I met Nerissa, I moved to Austin. I then began the process of manifesting our dream home.

Unfortunately, most of the good things in life are scarce—we can’t all have as much as we want. Thus scarcity is the mother of economics. Microeconomics is the study of how individuals and firms make themselves as well off as possible in a world of scarcity and the consequences o…
