These look solid enough to me:
12 Rules
The book is divided into chapters with each title representing one of the following twelve specific rules for life as explained through an essay.
- “Stand up straight with your shoulders back”
- “Treat yourself like you are someone you are responsible for helping”
- “Make friends with people who want the best for you”
- “Compare yourself with who you were yesterday, not with who someone else is today”
- “Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them”
- “Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world”
- “Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient)”
- “Tell the truth — or, at least, don’t lie”
- “Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don’t”
- “Be precise in your speech”
- “Do not bother children when they are skate-boarding”
- “Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street”

#4 is IMO the strongest point, not comparing yourself to anyone else except your own progress is an absolute powerhouse technique, and #2 is always good advice.
I don’t see it delivering the exact precise shape and size of dining table you want, as LoA did for me and so many other things (it’s the single method I’ve got the most consistant & reliable results with, regardless of magickal paradigm or worldview at the time) but then it’s not designed for that, and it certainly sits pretty well alongside it, on the more common sense, “Don’t drink the bleach” end of things.
We live in a blessed time with so many amazing minds sharing their wisdom, all different flavours so one can choose what makes the most sense at the time.
Yes - if you want to be rich at some unspecified future date, that’s about feeling rich, so work on feeling it now and be pleasant to all manifestations of the money (wealth, abundance, finance) current, and don’t give undue time or attention to manifestations of the poverty current.
See paying bills as you spending graciously on things, stuff like that - which can be hard for some people.
It’s intended to give y=us a moment to pause and check if we’re keeping true to what we claim to want, to be/feel rich, loved, healthy, etc., so yes, it is helpful.
Daemon, is a kind of soulm within you, a genius spirit, I take it loosely from the description here:
This is a similar idea:
I could have used the word daemon to denote what I portray as sentient-like currents of Wealth, Love, Cars, etc., but that would have got too confusing, including for me.
