The Dark Side of Manifestation: Why Naive Positive Thinking Could Be Ruining Your Life.

Can simply imagining a better future truly attract your dream partner, wealth, and happiness? While the idea of manifestation has taken the world by storm, the science behind it tells a different story. New research by Dixon, Hornsey, and Hartley (2023) reveals a shocking truth: believing in the power of manifestation may actually increase your risk of going bankrupt. And that's not all—earlier studies by Gabriele Oettingen (2016) suggest that while positive fantasies can make you feel good in the short term, they might lead to depression in the long run.

Discover the hidden dangers of manifesting your dreams, backed by hard science. Watch now before you make your next vision board!
