The Attraction Trap: Why Your Thoughts Don't Shape Reality (But Still Matter)
Is the universe your personal genie, granting wishes if you just think hard enough? The Law of Attraction says yes—but the evidence says no. In this sharp, no-nonsense takedown, we unravel the hype that's fueled a $45.7 billion self-help empire. From its wishful roots in New Thought to the glossy promises of The Secret, the Law's a feel-good fairy tale with no science to back it. Life's chaos doesn't bend to your vibes—good people suffer, jerks get lucky, and reality rolls on. Digging into psychology and hard stats, The Attraction Trap exposes the tricks that make it stick: confirmation bias, placebo boosts, and our craving for control. Positive thinking has perks, but it's action, not affirmation, that moves the needle. Drop the starry-eyed shortcut and face what's real - it's raw, but honest.
