I see huge differences between them. This is about changing your mental interpretation of the world, and learning a new habit (or unlearning an old one). The Secret was *also* about that...sorted...but purported to be (and was hyped into) "think good thoughts/pray, and the world will bend itself to your desire without further input from you".

I'm a believer in making your own luck. I just have trouble with this sort of memento. Maybe that's the problem. It's a kind of tacky-looking bracelet.
