noelfigart, this post explains a lot of what attitude can change and what it can't.
In particular,siderea's comparison of how Joe Attractor implements the steps - and what his shrink neighbor, Sigmund, sees changing in Joe's behavior - is illuminating. :)
(But it's not because some paid $250 for Neiman-Marcus' super secret cookie recipe. :)
noelfigart, this post explains a lot of what attitude can change and what it can't. [T]he Law of Attraction is like the Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe. Yeah, it's false...Or a useful way to manage your attitude so that you're ready to act on opportunities instead of repelling them. And if that's what has been holding you back, then it "works".
But it actually comes with a reasonably good cookie recipe.
