A refrain I use several times in the book: "everything starts as an idea."

On the other hand, the materialist/reductionist school of neuroscience sees the mind as something the brain does, a notion with which I do not agree. So I always get a bit concerned when I see the kind of reductionist approach that feelings and thoughts are mere chemical reactions. Congratulations on the Business Week ranking! Yes, I agree.

I wrote a larger book called "The Answer," coming out in May, for John and his business partner Murray Smith, which has some extensive explanation of Law of Attraction and related topics. But this one is a little book, focused specifically on Vision Boards. Once I know release dates, I'll post them here! Justin — more on this book soon.

And I find that reducing thoughts and feelings simply to neuropeptides is a tad reductionist. They are in the mind as well as in the brain, don't you think? Nice post!
