These are people who are going to get scammed.

I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Mike Mann and you're listening to no stupid questions.

Today on the show, can you use the law of attraction to manifest a better life?

I'm going to write myself a check for $10 billion and I'm going to be the most successful

comedic actor in the universe. Angela, I am excited by today's question and truthfully have no idea what direction this conversation with you will go.

Exciting, go ahead. Well, so here's to the journey we're about to walk.

It comes from anonymous who says, I've been coming across the idea of manifestation or law of attraction in a lot of self-help

podcasts and readings. I want to understand more on the psychology of these

ideas and do they actually work in real life?

Okay, so Mike, I think I know what manifest, actually I don't know what manifestation, the

law of attraction, or is this like positive thinking? I think so. The first time I was of

a law-of- attraction or? Is this like positive thinking? I think so.

The first time I was truly introduced to the idea of manifestation

came in, I don't know, 2006, there was this book that came out in this movie that came out called

The Secret.

Oh yeah.

Have you ever heard of this?

I have heard of it.

I know it was a wild bestseller like crazy just like publisher's dream right that like some

book written by I don't even know it wasn't a psychologist by training was just I

don't want to say just a person but like a mere mortal. A mere mortal.

A mere mortal.
