Through manifestation, we are supposed to be able to wish for love, money and success if we just believe in it firmly. Numerous celebrities such as Jim Carrey and Bella Hadid swear by it. What is behind the spiritual trend? Is it all just nonsense? Or is manifestation perhaps the "modern prayer"? Topics in this episode: 00:00 How did manifestation become a mass phenomenon on TikTok & YouTube? 10:25 What is manifestation? 16:30 Is manifestation an old phenomenon? 19:10 What does actress and former Miss Switzerland Melanie Winiger manifest? 27:11 Is manifestation the same as behavioral therapy? 35:17 Is positive thinking helpful in tragic situations? 39:11 In the past, people prayed, now they manifest? 43:57 Why do young women in particular manifest? 49:14 Rhonda Byrne: False promises of healing experiences? Manifesting works like "ordering from the universe." You try to get into the right vibration through the power of your thoughts and thus attract what you want. According to the so-called "law of attraction", like attracts like. Suddenly, your dream partner, dream apartment or dream salary become reality. Tiktok videos with manifestation instructions go viral, especially among young people. Where does this new need for control and transcendence come from? Where are the limits to the art of positive thinking? And where does the fun stop? Olivia Röllin and Yves Bossart talk to Ann-Kristin Tlusty, cultural scientist, psychologist and editor of "Zeit Online", with Manuel Schmid, theologian, philosopher and co-director of reflab.ch, and with the actress and presenter Melanie Winiger, who regularly manifests and claims to have found her dream man this way.
