Do we really manifest our thoughts, or is that a vanity of Westerners at the top of the economic food chain?  Plus, Patrick reveals his next big idea.

Links mentioned:

• Wikipedia has a nice critique of The Law of Attraction.

• The NYT piece about how we are all reading “The Daily Me.”

Books mentioned:

We get back to basics in this episode.  Enjoy and thanks for listening.

With Gwen in Mexico and me Intercontinental we couldn’t get an episode out this week.  As usual you will be refunded the full price of the podcast!
