The Boston area is home many research universities and textbook publishing companies in addition to strong technology and pharmaceutical sectors. That's why I think the kind of woo-woo you're describing really isn't popular here compared to the popularity of the reality-based community.

Also, some of the top scholars in evidence-based mindfulness practice(d) in metro west. Mindfulness can sometimes feel woo-woo, but many courses have clinical backing.

To OP, look into mindfulness courses instead of The Secret. There's a solid amount of clinical evidence backing it, and also you'll find some of the best practitioners in the nation (and your insurance will cover it!).
