The secret is people are getting rich of scamming plebs looking for non-ideological ideology.

Positive thinking has positive effect through results.

The universe does not bend to your will on a macro level. You bend the universe to your will by action.

/lit/ probably hates it because they're a bunch of contrarians but actually if you read it and implement it into your life it's a really useful and quirky book.

yes useful, you know, like all those philosophy books aren't?

It's some of the most stupid shit I've ever read. I didn't read all of it; a couple of pages was enough for me.

>> No.6769278

Positive thinking correlates with positive experiences.

Woah man, must be quantum mechanics.
I'm not some die-hard atheismo, if any sort of reasonable argument/proof was presented I'd critically look into , but this is just stealing money from retards.

If an /x/ tard wants to provide some argumentation for why this should work, please do.
