Synopsis

FRAUDS. FAKES. AND CHARLATANS. THE SPIRITUAL WORLD IS NOT SO SPIRITUAL AFTER ALL.

What happens when the people promising enlightenment are hiding the darkest secrets?

The psychic and spiritual industry is booming. Everywhere you look, someone is promising to manifest your dream life, heal your trauma, unlock your abundance or connect you with the other side. Behind the beautiful crystals, inspirational quotes and promises of higher consciousness, however, lies a world that few insiders are willing to expose.

Welcome to The Dark Side of the Light.

In this brutally honest, eye-opening, sometimes shocking and often hilarious memoir, psychic medium, multi-bestselling author and serial entrepreneur Rosie Shalhoub pulls back the curtain on the spiritual, psychic and personal development industries.

Drawing on more than 35 years of experience, Rosie takes readers behind the scenes of an industry she has loved, worked in, built businesses around and, at times, struggled to recognise.

From fake psychics and celebrity mediums to spiritual gurus, manipulation, betrayal, ego, money-making schemes and the increasingly questionable world of manifestation influencers, nothing is quite as innocent as it appears.

Along the way, Rosie shares extraordinary personal experiences, unforgettable characters, uncomfortable encounters and the lessons that shaped her journey from a highly intuitive Lebanese-Australian child to a successful entrepreneur, psychic medium, author and spiritual industry insider.

She explores what happens when spiritual teachers become celebrities, when followers surrender their common sense, when friendship turns into competition and when the pursuit of enlightenment becomes a very profitable business.

And she asks some uncomfortable questions.

Why are we so willing to hand our power to someone claiming to have all the answers? How do we recognise genuine spiritual wisdom when it is surrounded by performance, popularity and perfectly marketed promises? And when did being spiritual become more about followers, fame and money than integrity, compassion and truth?

But this is not a book written to destroy spirituality.

Quite the opposite.

Rosie still believes in intuition, psychic development, spirituality and the mysteries of life that cannot always be explained. What she no longer believes is that being spiritual means abandoning your intelligence, overlooking questionable behaviour or surrendering your personal power to someone claiming to be more enlightened than you.

With her trademark humour, radical honesty and refusal to sugar-coat the truth, Rosie explores the light and darkness within the spiritual world and, ultimately, within human nature itself.

This Revised & Expanded Edition includes new reflections on manifestation culture, social media spirituality, the influencer economy, delusions of grandeur and the changing face of the modern spiritual guru.

Whether you are a believer, a sceptic, a spiritual seeker or someone who has ever questioned the people claiming to hold the answers, this book will challenge you to think for yourself.

Because sometimes the darkest side of spirituality is hiding in the light.

And perhaps the greatest spiritual lesson of all is discovering that the magic was in you all along.
