When Dr. James Doty was a kid growing up in tough circumstances, he happened into a magic store and met a woman who taught him the manifestation technique. He tells that story in his wildly popular first book, “Into the Magic Shop.” Today, James joins us to tell us about his new book, “Mind Magic” which covers what happened after he manifested everything he thought he wanted.

As an adult, James’ manifestation of beautiful homes, cars, and life of riches came true. He was a successful neurosurgeon, jetsetting across the world. But he was miserable. After losing millions in the dot com crash, he sat down and rethought his manifestations. 

In his new book, James explains that through this process of reflection, he realized that manifestation without compassion for others leads to unhappiness. He digs into the neuroscience behind this phenomenon, and shares the lessons he’s learned.
