Spiritual Books for Entrepreneurs
As an entrepreneur, I love spirituality. I love using it to enhance my journey and create a better mindset so that I can handle the hard things that come my way.Â
When we’re able to think differently about entrepreneurship and our journeys, it opens up new pathways to get things done. We may think of new ideas, new solutions, and create a better version of ourselves in the process.
These books below have been so helpful to me on my journey, and I hope they are for you, too.

1. The Alchemist, 25th Anniversary: A Fable About Following Your Dream
I. Love. This. Book.Â
I love this book so much, I read it at least once every year. If someone I meet hasn’t read it, I’ll give them my copy and go get a new one. This is considered Paulo Coelho’s masterpiece, and it tells the story of Santiago who goes on a quest in search of treasure and what he learns while on this journey. I don’t want to give away too much if you haven’t read it yet, but I highly recommend you pick up a copy of this book and read it. It will give you so much to think about.
You know that feeling when you put on an amazing outfit? You feel empowered, ready to take on the world, and just all-around badass? Laurie Brucker Amerikaner, the author of this book, believes we should feel like this all the time. In You Are The Style, she breaks down the beliefs we have around clothes and getting dresses and helps us create a more empowered sense of self. Filled with simple but powerful tools, this book will help you find a style that fits you and helps you feel great about yourself and the life you’re living. If you’ve been looking for a new wardrobe that makes you feel powerful, then grab this book!
3. Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon
I’ve spoken about Dr. Joe Dispenza in a previous article, and his book Becoming Supernatural is one of my favorites. In this book, he combines science and “ancient wisdom” to show people how to live a more mystical life. As you read through this book, you’ll learn how to use different meditations to create the reality you want, among other things. It’s chock full of scientific findings and research about the body, how to use your body to free yourself from past conditioning, and so much more. While this book is dense (it took me a while to read!), I have used Dispenza’s teachings to change the trajectory of my life, and I believe they can do the same for you.
4. It’s Not Your Money: How to Live Fully from Divine Abundance
We all want money and prosperity. It’s just a fact of life, especially in this world that we live in. Yet, for some reason, whenever we create more money, our minds instantly want even more, as though we’re never going to manifest enough. The author, Tosha Silver, offers a different pathway for us to achieve what we want: Instead of grasping and chasing, we give everything back to Love (the Universe, Divinity, whatever you want to call it). And when she says everything, she means everything: our money (or lack thereof), desires, problems, etc. All of it. And she walks you through an 8-week process in this book to create more prosperity and a higher spirituality in this book.
5. Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams
Mike Dooley, the author of this book, gives notes and advice on how to live a more abundant and joyous life. We are in charge of creating what we want out of life: our own future, fate, and luck. There are thousands of possibilities for us to choose from, and the power resides in us to create whatever we want. In Infinite Possibilities, Dooley gives readers the tools they need to live a more purposeful life, or rather how to live life on purpose, and how to find true happiness and fulfillment. If you want to make a life that you love, read this book!
6. The Artist’s Way: 30th Anniversary Edition
The Artist’s Way has been around long enough that a lot of us have probably heard of it. What’s great about this book is Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages routine where you write three pages every morning. Nothing structured; just write whatever comes to mind. This opens a pathway to more creativity, and the book is filled with other inspirational quotes, advice, and activities you can do to find a “spiritual pathway to higher creativity.” Creativity, a must-have for entrepreneurs, is a spiritual journey in and of itself, and this book will help you expand your creative mind and open the door to new possibilities along the way.
7. The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level
Have you wanted to push your fear aside and take your life to the next level? In The Big Leap, Gay Hendricks gives readers a program for doing just this. You’ll learn how to go beyond your internal limits, release your fears, and learn new powerful skills to live the life you want. You’ll find success in every part of your life and create the personal growth you’ll need in order to get there.
This book is by Wallace D. Wattles, the author of The Science of Getting Rich. Just like he does in that book, in The Science of Being Great, Wattles argues that there is a simple, effective, scientific method for becoming great in every aspect of our lives. “The brain does not make the man; the man makes the brain.” We are spiritual by nature, and Wattles says that if we can harness the power of our thoughts, then we can become successful. He gives a lot of advice and helpful exercises that you can put into practice to create a great life that you absolutely love living.
9. The Power of Receiving: A Revolutionary Approach to Giving Yourself the Life You Want and Deserve
Amanda Owens, a spiritual and life coach and the author of this book, gives us a new philosophy for living: Believe + Receive = Achieve. A simple but effective way to expand how we live and bring balance to everything we do. Manifestation isn’t just about giving. It’s balanced out with receiving. We have to believe we’re going to get what we’ve asked for and then be prepared to receive it. And The Power of Receiving gives readers a simple pathway to achieve “greater reciprocity in their relationships and more harmony and abundance in their lives.”
10. The Complete Works of Florence Scovel Shinn
Florence Scovel Shinn was a prolific author who wrote several books about spirituality and how to achieve success. She is still considered one of the most well-known American advocates of New Thought philosophy. This particular book has all of her works including: The Game of Life and How to Play It; Your Word is Your Wand; The Secret Door to Success; and The Power of the Spoken Word. If you want to evolve your life and manifest what you want, then Florence’s works are definitely a must-read.
Meggan Watterson writes about The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, one of the few (if not, the only) gospel ever written by a woman. This gospel is far different from what we have in most texts because Mary says that humans aren’t sinful, and we should not feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. That is, in fact, our full purpose: to be human. Humans are messy. We make mistakes, and that’s okay. Watterson’s book explores Mary’s life and how her book came to be buried, and shows us what Mary teaches in her gospel to create a better, more spiritual life.
