おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
とても長い記事なんですが、いつか最後まで読みたい。
マルクス・アウレリウス（自省録）は、邦訳読んでそんなにピンと来なかったので次は英語で読みたいんだけど、まずはこういう「ストイシズムの解説」本から読むべきよなーいつになるやら。
endorsement
意味 （広告で商品などを） ほめること, 推奨; 広告に出ること.
The Law of Attraction was made popular by The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. The Secret has been translated into 50 languages and sold over 35 million copies. It was made into a movie in 2006 and the two combined have grossed well over $300 million. Oprah Winfrey gave it perhaps its biggest endorsement on The Larry King Show, saying, “The message of The Secret is the message I’ve been trying to share with the world on my show for the past twenty-one years.”

affirmation
意味 [C] [法] （宗教上の理由などで宣誓の代わりにする） 確約, 証言.
Then all that’s left is to meditate and journal and visualize and say your affirmations and then, as one LOA expert would say, “be receptive for what [you] wish to manifest.”

うーん、毎日書くのか。手帳には一年の目標書いてあるけど、確かにそのページを毎日見ないもんなー。やってみよっかな。
contradict
意味 〈意見· 行為· 状況· 主義などが〉…と矛盾する, 食い違う, 相反する
There’s no science that says your thoughts can will reality into behaving how you wish it to. Or that thinking negative thoughts will invite negative outcomes. In fact, literally all of science contradicts this.

まあ、魔法や念ではないよねw
repels
意味 〈電極などが〉反発し合う.
It’s worth repeating: literally all of science contradicts the law of attraction. Like magnets and electricity—often, like repels like.
