The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore
New Thought / Inspirational Self-HelpThe Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore is an inspirational work of story and reflection in the New Thought self-help vein. Its guiding claim is that love, faith, and trust in life's flow, rather than fear and anxious control, are the proper ground of a well-lived life and the means of aligning with one's higher self.
The approach is gently motivational and anecdotal, favoring short stories and reflections aimed at everyday application over systematic metaphysics. Drawing on New Thought, A Course in Miracles, and Eastern philosophy, Cohen reframes experience toward love over fear and toward surrender to a benevolent unfolding.
The book represents the mainstream inspirational layer through which New Thought sensibilities reach a wide general audience, sharing the alignment and surrender language found across the manifestation and nondual currents.
