It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Finally, Someone Who Gets It!
I just listened to this yesterday while walking outside. It was such an easy listen! The author's journey from devastating stock market loss to real estate success hit home as someone who's made plenty of financial blunders myself. His candid storytelling about tenant nightmares and investment missteps feels refreshingly honest in a genre full of polished success stories. What resonated most was the practical advice woven throughout—simple investment strategies I could actually implement. By the end, I realized my own failures weren't dead ends but detours. If you're tired of picture-perfect success stories, this raw, inspiring listen is exactly what you need.

Refreshing
I get tired of pretentious books that are all about "I started where you are and look where I am now. You can do it too!" This book is funny and real in the way the author tells stories about his journey and all the nightmares along the way. As a property investor, I find the not enough people are talking about the real side of real estate investing. Yes, it's rewarding but it also really really sucks at times. Thank you for not taking the sucky parts out of the story. It's almost cathartic for a weary investor who is grinding for a better tomorrow.

Changes your perception of failure
This book is relatable, humorous, and unexpectedly inspiring. The author doesn’t put on a facade of perfection, which is exactly what makes it resonate—he dives into the topics that many people would rather keep under wraps. While there’s some great financial advice sprinkled throughout, the real triumph lies in how it transforms the perception of failure from a dead end into just another step in the journey.
