Clément, thank you for writing this article.

I'm actually pretty shocked. For a while now, I've noticed lots of people on Medium, and on the Facebook groups, talking about the power of the "law of attraction" and so on.

And all this while, I've ignored those messages because I figured, well, many people are writing on Medium as a side hustle, and maybe this stuff sells. It's not what I would do but I'm not going to judge people for their life choices.

I didn't realise that many people might be UNAWARE of the dark side of the "personal growth" world. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I seem to remember huge personal growth and personal finance names like Napoleon Hill and Robert Kiyosaki being dragged through the mud in the early 2000s. I'm not sure when they started being viewed as "thought leaders" again.
