In this episode, Becket Cook sits down with the insightful Melissa Dougherty to discuss her new book, Happy Lies: How a Movement You Probably Never Heard of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World.
We dive deep into New Thought, its history, and how it has shaped modern self-help, the Word of Faith movement, and even progressive Christianity.
Melissa exposes how these ideas—often disguised as biblical—have infiltrated churches, personal development culture, and even our everyday affirmations.
