I had never heard of the LoA until a year ago when I started blogging. I feel the way it is presented makes me very sceptical and I gave up on "the Secret" after about 20 minutes. But its like getting your first religious education from some wacky TV evangelist!
I'm a strong propnent of positive thinking. At its heart LoA is about the way you think and what your believe. Whether or not we can alter the mindset/behaviour of others through our thinking? I remain sceptical, but lets say I'm now an agnostic rather than an atheist! The techniques I use for goal setting and positive thinking are similar to those used within LoA, so if it gets people into good thinking habits, so much the better.
And even if there was cast iron evidence that you could get a car park space by "thinking" I still wouldn't - there are more important things to put your thinking and energy towards. |
