Manifesting: How Powerful Are Our Thoughts?

Influencers are out in full force, telling us how we can “manifest” anything we want using only the power of our thoughts. Want that dream car, dream boyfriend, or dream house? Act as if you already have it, and the universe will respond. And we know our thoughts can be powerful … so, could this be legit? We go on the hunt for a manifestation method that has the science stamp of approval. We talk to psychologists Prof. Laura King and Prof. Gabriele Oettingen.  Find our transcript here:  https://bit.ly/ScienceVsManifestation Chapters: (00:00) The Promise of Manifesting (04:54) The Best Possible Self Exercise (09:40) Wendy and Rose Give it a Go (12:23) The Fantasy Fiasco (17:19) How To Get Your Dream Life (science approved!)
