概要

"Magical Thinking: The Delusion of False Hope" by Michelle de Havilland, thoroughly critiques the concept of magical thinking as a pervasive and harmful cognitive bias in modern culture. The author defines magical thinking as the false belief that thoughts or rituals can directly influence external events without a causal link, differentiating it from the necessary components of true hope, which require agency and practical planning according to Hope Theory. The source argues that this mindset, often marketed through social media and self-help coaching using terms like "manifestation" or "angel numbers," preys on vulnerable people by promising control while simultaneously blaming victims for failures by asserting they "co-created" negative outcomes. Ultimately, the article advocates for the psychological necessity of autonomy and reality-based action over passive waiting for cosmic intervention, referencing established research such as Self-Determination Theory and studies on the illusion of control.
