The power of positive thinking by Donald Trump's family preacher Norman Vincent Peale. There's lots of flaws with this positive thinking strategy, but supposedly trump was a billion dollars in debt at one point and this book got him through it.
And I would argue, the reason he's polling the highest for the presidency, even though he lost reelection, is because he is conditioning his base with the power of positive thinking. People say he's braggadocios but it's actually positive thinking

Does this go into pseudoscience or is it more about the real subconscious effects of manifesting things?

most retarded thread on /lit/ award
asking what to read to be more attractive is like asking which books to read to lose weight or bench more
its not how this works

its all about 666
6 feet tall
6 pack abs
6 digit income
that's it
this is what women found attractive since the stone age
women have simple parasitic nature, how are you still confused???
woman parasite needs a strong host, a woman cant fight wolves and bears on her own, cant build log cabins, cant survive on her own
so she looks for strong tall man who can feed her and her spawn

Well you can approach it esoterically, but this is difficult and needs to be embedded in your ideology but think of it in terms of
„Fake it til you make it“ or „dress for the job you want not the one you have“.

If you align your mindset with your goal, you are simply much more likely (ie prepared) to make it come true when a random opportunity offers itself

pure >>>/x/ 80 iq pseud nonsense
just like the entire fields of psychology and philosophy
it has no predictive power and it tries to cope with having no predictive power by claiming 'it totally works bro, its just esoteric and mystic and cope buzzword #123123' instead of actually delivering

if you want real life results, go into engineering or physics
