To me it's little more than a New Age variation of the "little train that could":
belief in oneself + positive expectations + action = results
Did I emphasize the action part enough?
Hell, you could drop the first two components and still get most things with just the action part.
Where LoA all falls apart for me and most people is when some start to believe they are gods:
I brought the great Tsunami down upon me.

I made those jets crash into the WTC.

I manifested that earth quake.

Yes, of course you did.

It's just that there actually are 2 different Law of Attractions....I'm a bit slow, but it's as clear as ever tonight in this thread.
The Law of Attraction: (what I think it originally was intended to be....but yeah, that's just my opinion)
LOA....which holds that you create your own reality through your thoughts. You can, if you wish, take this figuratively, to mean that by changing your thoughts you can feel better about your situation in life. Or you can view it as a source of inspiration—that by believing you will succeed, you will perform better in the race or the test or your relationships.
The Secret Guru's LOA: Explicity claims that you can manipulate objective physical reality.....the numbers in a lottery drawing, the actions of other people who may not even know you exist....through your thoughts and feelings. In the words of Lisa Nichols: “When you think of the things you want, and you focus on them with all of your intention, then the law of attraction will give you exactly what you want, every time.” Every time!”
Yeah....these are 2 different animals
