Magical Thinking | Luke Brady | TEDxHarveyStreet

Have you ever thought about your thinking? Luke Brady, the Attention Artist, takes a look at how we get stuck in our head and fail to see magic in the world around us. This talk allows us to step out of our thinking in order to recognize contrast and how it plays a role in our ability to think differently. As an Attention Artist, Luke Brady works with creatives, entrepreneurs, leaders and influencers who have a growth mindset and want to think differently. Luke disrupts their thinking, gets them out of their own way and out of their head and more connected to their best self, helping them to be more present and connected.
Luke uses his background in deep coaching, psychology, influence, suggestion, language and magic to help people change the filter in which people experience their world. When you change the way in which you see your world… your world changes! How you show up in your world changes and more importantly what you are truly capable of changes! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Magical Thinking is part of every life in modern culture since modern society is too complex for any one individual to understand.

[@ReikIavik-yz1ol]

The great inconsistency of people who believe with religious fanaticism in the law of attraction and positive thinking is that they are often the most negative, frustrated and neurotic people one can find.
To begin with, they behave like religious fanatics who do not accept any criticism or questioning and can even become aggressive in defending their “beliefs.” They are such “positive” people that in everyday life they are the ones who complain about the smallest detail and have endless complaining.
They are also very frustrated people with a certain degree of neurosis and outbursts of anger. The logical explanation (the opposite of the magical thinking of these individuals) for this behavior is that both the law of attraction and positive thinking have no scientific basis or effectiveness in real life. Therefore, these people feel frustrated when they do not see results since they dedicate themselves to “manifesting positive thoughts” instead of putting their hands into action.
Of course there are people who were born in a privileged environment and attribute their privileges to the law of attraction, but these are particular cases that do not apply to the common citizen.
