The Gen-Z Manifesting Trend - When it's a lie and when it can work

Manifesting is everywhere these days, the hashtag “manifesting” has over 3 billion views on TikTok and the hashtag “law of attraction” has even more. The app has hundreds of videos of people claiming a sound or method changed their entire lives. The core principle behind manifesting is that the things we think or feel attract the reality we live. It’s a pretty ancient philosophy, but today’s mainstream resurgence of manifesting – especially among younger people – also hints at a larger feeling of powerlessness in the face of bigger, systemic problems out of our control.
