This is an anthology of brief homilies set forth by many New Age capitalists and cultural appropriators with an esoteric customer base.
Chuck Spezzano has three contributions, including revealing his belief that human energy can dissolve hurricanes, the "celestial speed-up" will increase between 2006-2013 and that Taiwan is the most important country for fostering world peace.
He also demonstrates his lewd sense of humor. He prefers to call it "bawdy," but others have found it tasteless, intimidating, downright dirty (e.g., men are under the "cunt"-rol of women), and a throwback to another era. Some could call it unprofessional, but since Chuck Spezzano is not a professional in the first place this description does not apply.

Spezzano is trapped in the amber of the Rat Pack era.
I found this book to be surprisingly useful. I was hanging a door and discovered it was the perfect thickness for propping up the bottom of the door as I screwed it to the hinges.
As for the content of the book, uh, er, not quite so useful. But the book as a physical object was the right tool for the job.
I believe Spezzano's lewd sense of humor as displayed in his "workshops" can be considered a form of sexual assault and intimidation.
Interesting detail: Spezzano didn't make the first cut in the names mentioned on the title page even though 2006 was probably when he was the most in vogue. So even at his highest point he remained more of a New Age bottom feeder compared to the other more sophisticated con artists.
