The Neuroscience Behind Belief, Focus, and Getting What You WantBy Arthur Payne
Length2h 58m
About this audiobook
"Wired to Attract" For readers who want the results manifestation promises , without the mysticism. You've heard the claims: thoughts are magnetic, the universe rearranges itself for those who believe hard enough, like attracts like. Millions of people swear these practices work. "Wired to Attract"doesn't dispute that, it explains why, using neuroscience instead of vibration. Drawing on decades of research in cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and sports science, Arthur Payne dismantles the metaphysics of manifestation and rebuilds it on solid ground. You'll learn why setting a specific goal actually changes what your brain notices (the reticular activating system, not cosmic signaling). Why visualization measurably improves performance ,because it fires the same motor cortex regions as physical practice. Why gratitude and belief reshape your behavior long before they reshape your circumstances. And why the manifestation techniques that "worked" for you were never magic — they were psychology you didn't have a name for yet. Across 38 research-grounded chapters, this book covers the science behind: Attention and the RAS, why specificity changes what you perceive, Self-fulfilling prophecies and belief, Rosenthal's classroom study, Bandura's self-efficacy research Visualization and motor rehearsal from Olympic athletes to surgical residents, Habit formation and identity change Duhigg, Fogg, Clear, and the loop that makes practices stick - Scarcity, sleep, decision fatigue, procrastination, perfectionism, and self-sabotage, the hidden mechanics that quietly derail good intentions ,A complete 30-day system,for turning the research into a daily practice you'll actually keep This isn't another book asking you to believe harder. It's a field guide to your own mind — precise enough to troubleshoot when something isn't working, and honest enough to name the limits of what belief alone can do.
If you want the outcomes manifestation promises, backed by evidence you can actually check, "Wired to Attract" is the book that finally explains the mechanism.
