There's a lot to unpack here.

So in terms of the motivation to make it really easy for people to understand, I called it magnetic desire, which is something that is so emotionally driven for you personally

and aligned with, you know, what's logically doable in your life and what your intuition tells you and, you know, what your creative brain can help you to achieve, that if you have magnetic desire for something, then, you know, I always say, if you follow your passion, you will be successful. But I'm mindful that that statement

But I'm mindful that that statement

and even your one of, I just want to wake up and do what I love, are extremely privileged statements. So with manifestation, one of the criticisms is that that's a luxury for people who already have more than what they need. And then they can say, oh, well, I would love to do this or have this.

And so I think what I've learned in where I have ever felt slightly defensive around that statement is that

And so I think what I've learned in where I have ever felt slightly defensive around that statement is that

that whoever you are, wherever you are, there is one tiny thing that you could do to make your life better, and it's the micro changes that build you up to getting to a point where maybe you can actually do something that you love rather than do what you have to do to put food on the table for your children.

But having said that, if your ideas for what you want to manifest are things like, well, all my friends are getting married and having a family, so I want to get married and have a family, rather than I've really thought about what I want to do and my passion and purpose might mean that I have to delay having a family and that's okay.

it's more likely to work out with the second one than the one that's kind of too guided by parental expectations, societal expectation, career aspirations. So I do think people have to dig deeper for manifestation to really work well.

So there's two main sort of areas around that. One is the sort of six themes that I narrowed down from the 12 laws of attraction that I could explain with cognitive science, which is neuroscience and psychology. So when I first started that research, I saw that there wasn't even agreement over what the laws of attraction were or how many there were.

So I thought, okay, let me distill this down to something that makes sense to me and then see what we can do with it. So the first one is abundance because one of the strongest gearings in the brain is loss avoidance. So to survive when we lived in the cave, we had to stay safe rather than take risk.

Now, for most of us who are lucky enough, you know, to live in the modern world and have basic safety around us, it's healthier for us to be willing to take risk. So you actually have to override that ancient wiring of the brain, which says, no, don't go and like, you know, fly to London and try to have meetings with lots of different people who may not want to meet you. Stay in L.A.
