https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(Byrne_book)

The Secret is a 2006 self-help book by Rhonda Byrne, based on the earlier film of the same name. It is based on the belief of the pseudoscientific law of attraction, which claims that thought alone can influence objective circumstances within ones life

Just a modern day spin on the Prosperity Gospel.

Oh wow, the book was based on the movie? That explains some things.

That's an interesting (though different) take of how people can convince you to be lucky!

Wow, this book actually claims thinking can change reality to make it how you'd like it...
