If you've ever heard, read, or watched a movie about Positive Thinking and the Law of Attraction, then do we have a special show for you.

Today I'll be talking with Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award Winning Historian, and the author of Occult America, and the vice-president, executive editor, and director of backlist and reissues at TarcherPerigree. He is also the author of a fascinating new book on Positive Thinking " One Simple Idea.

Today we'll talk about what Positive Thinking, New Thought, and the Law of Attraction really is, where it came from, how it came about, what's real about it, and what isn't, and how we can all use it to transform our lives.
