If you are a thinker, then read something that's more intellectually substantive. There's really no reason why that book would work. I mean, what are its aims, first of all?

I think a lot of self-help books are like that.

They have no clear aims. They prove nothing. And they are self-congratulatory.

I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about why that book doesn't work. I tried already and it didn't work for me.

If you just think a thought repeatedly and generate said "energy", how exactly does that make what you "want" manifest in reality? How?

That is my main question for that author, and it didn't seem like she had a valid response, unless I'm horribly mistaken.

I mean, if that were the case, wouldn't people with depression be able to "want" their depression away? If that were the case, wouldn't most people do it? Wouldn't everyone do it? Wouldn't people want away medical conditions? Wouldn't people wish away their crimes? I mean the implications are endless, but also are horribly fallacious.

These are just thoughts. I am not trying to criticize you or anything. But this is what I think about that book.
