You know how people sometimes invest in something that seems incredible at first, but then it doesn't live up to the hype?

They optimize for numbers that look great, like impressions, but then they don't see revenue. LinkedIn has a word for that, bull spend.

What is the number one thought that blocks us from the ability to manifest greater?

**James Doty** (2:24)
Fear. It's insecurity. It's shame. And when you're fearful, this stimulate your sympathetic nervous system with all the negative aspects of it. When you love, you're open, you're generous, you're thoughtful, you're kind because you've engaged the parasympathetic nervous system. And you have a choice.
Best-selling author, international speaker, Professor Jim Doty. Dr. James Doty, what a pleasure to have you.

The one and only, great teacher, Dr. James Doty.

**James Doty** (2:55)
We know that what wires together, fires together. And my point about that is, number one, you have to work. This isn't like, oh, I thought of it, therefore it should happen. It's like anything. Everybody's manifesting every day, they just do it very inefficiently, right?

How did you learn to break the limiting beliefs and create more empowering beliefs to support you to feel emotionally free and start to attract more of what you wanted in your life?

**James Doty** (3:20)
Well, first of all.

**Lewis Howes** (3:24)
Welcome back everyone to The School of Greatness. I'm very excited about our guest. We have the inspiring James Doty in the house. Doctor, good to see you.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:31)
Thanks for being here.

**Lewis Howes** (3:32)
Sure. I am fascinated by this topic of manifestation. And I'm even more fascinated when you bring neuroscience research and studies that back to the power of manifestation. Your new book, Mind Magic, The Neuroscience of Manifestation and how it changes everything, I'm very excited about because you kind of walk us through these different steps on the process of manifestation.
So first I wanted to ask you a question about the difference between the law of attraction and manifestation. Are they the same thing or are they different?

**James Doty** (4:05)
Well, if you look historically at the law of attraction, it goes back to Hermetics, which is this group in the first or second century AD, and there was this belief in the mind, and they used the terminology, the law of attraction. Of course, then there's a guy, I think his name was Phineas Quimby, who then promoted this further, and this was in the 18th century or so, and then, of course, or 19th century, and then we had, who was it, Thinking Grow Rich?
