How did Norman Vincent Peale’s book, The Power of Positive Thinking, pave the way for the prosperity gospel and the law of attraction that still has its claws in today’s culture? That’s what we explore in this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast. Part One explored Peale’s foundations in the New Thought Movement of the nineteenth century and its theological departure from Puritanical Calvinism. Part Two linked Peale’s version of Positive Thinking with the corporate culture of the twentieth century. We saw how it provided bonus benefits to companies laying off workers. In Part Three, we look at links between Positive Thinking and the Prosperity Gospel, and its potential to exploit vulnerable people with promises of great wealth in exchange for willingly giving their money and going into debt because of promises made by those in power over them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJaPrhOSnxw&feature=youtu.be The Prosperity Theology of Positive Thinking This brings us full circle to the ‘theological’ dimension of Peale’s project. One of the most common complaints in reviews of The Power of Positive Thinking is that it unexpectedly contains so many references to God and the Bible. But this is the point of it. Peale builds on the New Thought tradition, using Bible verses to support the law of attraction he proposes, driven by a god who “rates you according to the size of your prayers”, and rewards you if you dream big and visualise having already received the objects you desire. Norman Vincent Peale was a minister who used his position to gain credibility and status in the eyes of his followers. As God’s spokesman, he was taken seriously when he preached. But as we saw in the first part, he was an expert at cherry-picking Bible verses to suit his purposes, stripping them of their narrower and broader theological contexts. The Formula For Peale’s Law of Attraction Peale turns basic psychology into cosmic superstition. As we saw in the previous episode, when he took the story of Job and interpreted his words, “What I feared has come upon me and what I dreaded has happened to me”, as meaning Job invited his fate BECAUSE he feared it. This conforms to Peale’s scientific formula for success (and failure): “Affirm it, visualize it, believe it, and it will actualize itself.” Whether it’s something we desire or something we fear, it will actualise itself if we think about it. “When you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to you.” Of course, we understand that confirmation bias means that when we expect something to be true, we are more likely to find evidence to support it. As such, we might lead ourselves towards outcomes if we believe something has made them more certain. All Things Are Possible… Peale tells the story of a faith healer who helps a struggling baseball team on a losing streak. They were riddled with doubt and didn’t believe they could win. One day, the coach asked for the team’s bats and then disappeared with them. When he returned, he excitedly told the players that the preacher had blessed the bats. They now contained a power that could not be overcome. “The players were astounded and delighted,” Peale reports. “The next day they overwhelmed Dallas, getting 37 base hits and 20 runs.” “All things are possible to him that believeth”, Peale affirms, implying that God rewards faith. This raises the question: Is God needed in this equation, or is it just a belief in God held by those seeking a change of fortune? And if this is the case, how is this exploited? Televangelism and The Allure of Prosperity In Smile or Die, Barbara Ehrenreich writes about the televangelist and leader of a Texas megachurch, Joel Osteen. She cites a passage from one of his books in which he describes his initial resistance to his wife’s pleas to upgrade to a bigger house. Eventually, he was talked into agreeing. He said it was only because Victoria had used words of faith to persuade him to broaden his vision. This meant God showed him how much more he had in store for him. He presented it as self-sacrifice and obedience to God, rather than an act of indulgence. This is an application of Peale’s core message. It uses God as a justification for desire. The appearance of material wealth and success is presented as confirmation that you are doing God’s work. It is a reward for your faith. This extraction ecosystem encourages followers to give their resources to trusted spokespeople for God. The explicit promise is that doing so will trigger a transactional response from God. The God Complex of The Rich and Powerful Ehrenreich points to the God complex present in the executive mindset. Steve Eisman calls it ‘hedge fund disease’, which he suggests should be included in the DSM-5. It is conspicuous in the symptoms of megalomania, narcissism, and solipsism. It boils down to the more money you have, the more right you feel about everything. And “to think something is to make it happen.” Because of the power and wealth you have access to wield, in a sense, “You’re God”. We see this at play today, with the rich and powerful indulging in projects well outside their areas of expertise. They try to dictate tastes, behaviours, and trends, so they might exploit their followers’ trust. And, much like prosperity-gospel preachers, they persuade people to follow their advice by promising great future returns. We’ve seen this in NFT scams, pump-and-dump crypto coins, and AI investment advice. Some of these figures are delusional. While others are cold and calculating in their efforts to exploit and extract wealth from those who trust them. Breaking The Spell The Power of Positive Thinking reinforces a delusional superstition. Fear itself becomes something to fear, avoid, or eradicate, rather than to listen to and respond to appropriately. It is also delusively aspirational, portraying capitalism as a system that rewards all who believe in it, while ignoring the inherent logic of a system that functions because of inequality. Peale follows in Napoleon Hill’s footsteps, believing that poverty and suffering are simply the result of poor thinking and insufficient passion and desire for wealth.

Let's have an uncomfortable conversation.Why are so many gay men obsessed with straight men?Seriously.From childhood crushes to gym bros, coworkers, and social media creators who make a living selling the fantasy, the straight man allure has become a huge part of gay culture. But where does it come from? Why do so many people find themselves chasing men who were never available in the first place?In this episode, I'm talking about attraction, masculinity, validation, fantasy, and why I absolutely cannot stand the straight man content business model that's all over social media right now.Some of y'all might agree with me.Some of y'all definitely won't.Either way, let's banter.

It doesn't get bigger than Linda Wells, the founding editor of Allure magazine, branding consultant, founder of Flesh, and now a columnist for Air Mail, and the editor of Look (Air Mail's beauty vertical). Linda was the woman who decided beauty was worthy of its own conversation, with sharp reporting, a critical eye, and of course, a sense of humor. She brings all of that to this episode of Fat Mascara, where we talk about the eyewatering cost of facelifts, how tech bros hijacked the word “longevity”, and what the uber-rich are actually buying these days. She also reveals her least favorite word in beauty editor-dom, as well as her favorite new beauty products.

We've been taught that adulthood doesn't really begin for women until we've found a husband and had a baby. Jessica Cruel is here to push back on that — and she has the research to back it up.This week, Aisha sits down with Jessica Cruel, Editor-in-Chief of Allure magazine and the author of the forthcoming book Single Happy Female, for an honest, layered conversation about what it actually looks like to build a full life without waiting on partnership to start living it.Jessica is clear: she still wants partnership. So do 48 of the 50 women she interviewed for her book. But the difference is that she's no longer treating singleness as a holding pattern. She's traveling, throwing herself promotion parties, picking out the white dress for her 40th in Greece — and writing the book she wishes she'd had ten years ago.They get into the loneliness of being the boss (and what nobody tells you about reaching the top of your industry), Jessica's openness about therapy and Lexapro after years of watching her mother navigate bipolar disorder, the “twirlers vs. toilers” framework Jessica uses to describe how women rise in their careers, the unspoken hardship hierarchy among friend groups, and the radical act of throwing the damn party for yourself even when there's no wedding or baby shower to attend.If you've been quietly waiting on a milestone to start living the life you want, this conversation is for you.

Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas skips its scheduled Falmouth, Jamaica call after a propulsion issue slows the ship, a reminder of how mechanical hiccups ripple through an itinerary. Holland America commits to sailing Nieuw Statendam in Europe year-round, a notable shift toward continuous European deployment. And the American Patriot brings cruise traffic back to Rochester, New York after a six-year gap, with strong demand adding two extra calls as Great Lakes cruising keeps expanding.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim speaks with Oliver Bullough, journalist and author of the highly acclaimed books: Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything and Moneyland: Why Thieves and Crooks Now Rule the World and How To Take It Back.  Oliver's new book is called Everybody Loves Our Dollars - How Money Laundering Won. Oliver describes a moment in his life that shaped each of these books. He was touring the palace of Yanukovych, the corrupt pro-Russian ex-President of Ukraine, horrified at the extravagant opulence, all stolen from the Ukrainian people. “How did you let him get away with this?” Oliver asked his friend. “Well, actually you're technically in London, not Ukraine, right now,” his friend responded. Who is corrupt, the people who stole the money, or the lawyers, bankers, and accountants in countries that tout their lack of corruption? Oliver describes the systems in place to help the wealthy dodge taxes and the deeply corrupt to hide their theft. Kim and Oliver talk about the corrosive effect on our political institutions and our economy; and how we got here in the post-WWII era.    Guest Background: Oliver Bullough is a journalist and author from Wales who writes about financial crime, the former Soviet Union, and offshore skulduggery. He lives near Hay-on-Wye, and has previously lived in London, Moscow, St Petersburg and Bishkek.  When not working, he likes watching rugby, cooking pizzas, swimming in the river and walking in the hills.  You can find him on Twitter at @oliverbullough.

When many investors approach retirement, one of their most pressing questions is how their portfolio will generate the income needed to fund their lifestyle. It's a common belief, often repeated by financial pundits and well-meaning friends, that you should simply "live off the dividends" from your investments. It sounds appealing: a steady stream of payments, without having to sell any shares. Relying solely on dividend-paying stocks in retirement can create hidden risks and may not be the optimal path to financial security. I explore what it actually means to live off dividends in retirement, the benefits and risks of relying on high-dividend-paying stocks or funds, and why diversification might be a smarter approach for long-term financial security.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Living on dividends in retirement [06:31] Dividend stocks vs market returns [09:04] How call options work [10:50] Considerations for income-focused funds [15:15] Discussing withdrawal strategy options   The Allure (and Limits) of Dividend Strategies The appeal of a dividend-driven retirement portfolio is easy to see: pick companies with high yields, collect regular income, and (hopefully) never touch the principal. Using free tools such as Fidelity's stock screener, you can quickly assemble a list of stocks yielding 4% or more. But look closer, and several challenges arise. High dividend-paying stocks tend to be clustered in a few sectors: real estate, consumer staples, healthcare, and energy. This concentration means your portfolio lacks diversification—the single most important factor in managing risk and smoothing returns over time. If these sectors hit hard times, both income and capital could suffer.   An Overlooked Consequence of Dividends and Taxes Interest, dividends, and capital gains are all taxable (sometimes at favorable rates), but in a taxable (non-retirement) account, high dividend income can bump up your annual tax bill regardless of whether you need the cash. With a focus on capital appreciation, you retain more control: you sell as needed, and only pay tax on realized gains.   The Smarter Alternative is Total Return Investing In my opinion, the better approach is a "total return" portfolio: broad diversification across stocks and bonds, targeting growth and income together, while managing risk. Bonds provide stability and income during volatile periods, allowing for stable withdrawals even if stocks temporarily decline. Withdrawal strategies like the Guyton-Klinger guardrails model adjust withdrawals based on market conditions and keep your portfolio aligned with your longevity and inflation risks. Index investing, with its low costs and full market exposure, helps retirees avoid the sector pitfalls of dividend chasing while participating in overall economic growth. Dividends can be a useful piece of your retirement income puzzle—but making them the sole focus of your portfolio can expose you to unnecessary risk, tax drag, and potential underperformance. Instead, construct a balanced total-return strategy. That way, you'll generate income, growth, and peace of mind—not just in bull markets, but in any market environment.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  Fidelity Stock Screener Tools Schwab US Dividend ETF (SCHD) Schwab Total Stock Market Index Fund (SWTSX) JP Morgan Equity Income ETF (JEPI) Berkshire Hathaway AT&T Frontier Communications How To Get More Retirement Income Using Retirement Guardrails    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

What is PDRN? You've probably seen the four letters on serum bottles, sheet masks and even lip balms — or heard them on TikTok. PDRN stands for polydeoxyribonucleotide and typically refers to a DNA fragment that's often, but not always, derived from salmon sperm and most commonly found in K-Beauty. Of course, on social media, PDRN has an obvious shock value to it, which has led to an onslaught of posts in which lines like, "I just got salmon sperm injected into my face," provide perfect hooks to start videos. In this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, co-host Sara Spruch-Feiner explores what PDRN is, what it purports to do for the skin, how it got so popular and how it is expanding beyond Korean beauty. To explore the topic, Spruch-Feiner speaks with New York City-based dermatologist Dr. David Kim; the former editor-in-chief of Allure magazine and fractional CMO for K-Beauty distributor Landing International, Michelle Lee; and the founder of Rodial, Maria Hatzistefanis.

You've probably heard it before:“Make it go viral.” “Jump on trends.” “Say more. Add more. Do more.”But if you're trying to pitch editors, get featured in magazines, or land PR for your small business, that advice can actually work against you.After sitting down with a beauty editor who's worked inside Allure, Glamour, and Well+Good… the truth is a lot simpler (and honestly, a little uncomfortable):Most PR pitches don't get ignored because they're bad. They get ignored because they're unclear, overwhelming, or trying too hard.In this episode, we break down how to pitch editors, how to get featured in media, and what actually makes a PR pitch stand out—straight from someone who lives in that inbox every day. Because it's not about being louder. It's about being easier to say yes to.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. Office culture is a fascinating topic.  It can be the special sauce that helps bring together team members to achieve excellence.  But what happens when the company culture becomes a toxic mess?  What happens when a very charismatic CEO becomes obsessed with both cataloging people's weaknesses and then broadcasting them to the entire company?  What happens when that same CEO mandates “internal reporting” on fellow co-workers, techniques that appear to be drawn directly from the playbook of the Stasi (the former East German secret police force, famous for deep surveillance to control and punish their citizens)?  What happens when the CEO steadfastly refuses to hear criticism about himself?Why would people join and then remain at such an organization?  Kim welcomes New York Times' business reporter and author, Rob Copland, to talk about his fascinating, deeply researched, and best-selling book, The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates and The Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend.  Rob's book dives deep on Ray Dalio, the iconic founder and leader of Bridgewater Associates and the culture he created there.  Under Dalio, there is no disputing that Bridgewater Associates became one of the largest and most successful hedge funds in history.  At the same time, Dalio appeared to use promises of vast riches to control and intimidate his employees.  Rob shares some incredible stories to illustrate these points.  When someone dared to push back on any of Dalio's techniques or vision, he famously would shut them down with, “If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?!”  Rob talks about what he learned in the years of research he did for this book.  This conversation presents a cautionary tale of what can happen when a charismatic leader, flush with vast wealth decides his mission is also to dictate how people should live.Background on Rob Copeland: Rob Copeland is a New York Times finance reporter covering Wall Street, banks, and corporate power. He was previously the longtime hedge-fund beat reporter at The Wall Street Journal.  He is best known for investigative, narrative-driven stories and is the author of the bestselling book, "The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend".

The crew also weighs in on Cirie's magnetism and how her alliances with Ozzy and Rizo could change the game, and they can't help but wonder if Rizo will make the big move against Cirie if it means grabbing the win for himself. – Why Rizo's “Robin to Batman” approach is winning him friends and idols, but could backfire – The old-school alliance's tight grip versus the chaos of new-era gameplay – D's bold Tribal scramble and whether it's better to fight or play dead when you're on the chopping block – The rise of “double agents” and where power really lies as voting blocks take over post-merge – How Sage accidentally stars in a viral Allure article about “snatched” Survivor contestants As alliances shift, Bottoms Up asks: Will Rizo take out Cirie or ride shotgun to the finals and risk losing it all?

The crew also weighs in on Cirie's magnetism and how her alliances with Ozzy and Rizo could change the game, and they can't help but wonder if Rizo will make the big move against Cirie if it means grabbing the win for himself. – Why Rizo's “Robin to Batman” approach is winning him friends and idols, but could backfire – The old-school alliance's tight grip versus the chaos of new-era gameplay – D's bold Tribal scramble and whether it's better to fight or play dead when you're on the chopping block – The rise of “double agents” and where power really lies as voting blocks take over post-merge – How Sage accidentally stars in a viral Allure article about “snatched” Survivor contestants As alliances shift, Bottoms Up asks: Will Rizo take out Cirie or ride shotgun to the finals and risk losing it all? Which “honor and integrity” player will become the next big target, and can the new-schoolers pull off a comeback? Tune in for Bottoms Up's full Survivor 50 breakdown, including hidden idol strategy, double-crosses, and those unpredictable power flips!

If you have a son, this conversation is essential listening. I'm welcoming back Shane Cole, breathwork practitioner and men's coach, who first appeared in episode 149, where we broke down what parents need to know about sissy hypnosis pornography. This time, we go even deeper. One of the things I'm most passionate about tackling here is the dangerous myth that sweet, sensitive, smart boys are somehow immune to porn addiction. Shane is living proof that the opposite can be true — and that this particular profile of boy may in fact be especially vulnerable, for reasons we explore in depth.We walk through the architecture of how sissy hypnosis pornography works: how it enters through mainstream platforms using innocuous images, then systematically eroticizes male insecurity using professional-grade hypnosis techniques, binaural beats, and repeated mantras designed to take young viewers into deeply suggestible trance states. This is not content a boy can simply "turn off" — and we make the case for why that framing fundamentally misunderstands the neuroscience involved.We also get into territory I think the gender-critical community need to be taking far more seriously: the role of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment and how they may be contributing to skyrocketing rates of gender dysphoria. I share my perspective — tinfoil hat and all — on why normalizing trans identity as an "identity to be affirmed" may function as a convenient cover for the very industries that are poisoning us. And I make the case that parental guilt and ideological defensiveness are getting in the way of an honest reckoning with this data.From there, Shane lays out a compelling and deeply personal vision of his alternative path, including semen retention, Qigong, meditation, breathwork, and a sense of masculine purpose directed outward toward the world. We contrast the easy-now-hard-later escape of estrogen and porn with the hard-now-easy-later path of character, and Shane speaks directly to the young men who are standing at that crossroads right now.Shane Cole is a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and founder of Inspiratus Breathwork. After studying psychology at the University of Southern California and completing a nine-month, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator training program, he travels the country to musical festivals and retreats teaching breathwork. With Inspiratus, he creates sacred spaces for humans to cultivate purpose, positivity, and presence through his research-backed approach to breathwork. Throughout his life, he struggled with gender dysphoria and an addiction to sissy hypnosis pornography. After traditional talk therapy did not assist or even want to address the issues he faced, he turned to alternative solutions. Using breathwork, meditation, IFS therapy, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and men's work, he was able to free himself from his addiction, come back to his masculinity, and reclaim his innocence. He is now on a mission to bring breathwork practices to clients struggling with gender dysphoria and pornography addiction.

When Linda launched Allure in 1991, people said she'd never fill a magazine about beauty every month. She proved them wrong for 25 years — giving readers the information they actually needed, without the judgment. Molly and Emese sit down with Linda Wells, the legendary founder of Allure Magazine, for a sharp, no-nonsense conversation about what's actually worth your time and money in 2026. Linda gets real about the plastic surgery obsession sweeping Hollywood and why you should never walk into a doctor's office telling them what procedure you want. She breaks down the skincare ingredients she's excited about, calls out the treatments that are just expensive pampering, and shares the one beauty rule she thinks needs to disappear for good. From GLP-1s and injectable peptides to the deep-plane facelift debate, Linda cuts through the noise the way she always has. Honest, sharp, and a little bit ruthless about the stuff that doesn't work.

Success isn't built by playing it safe or trying to do everything at once. This episode breaks down why obsession, discipline, and committing fully to one craft are often the real difference between stalled ideas and lasting success. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Anastasia Soare. We also talk about why balance is overrated, how discipline beats talent, and what it actually takes to build a category from nothing. Anastasia Soare is the founder and CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills. She is a self-made entrepreneur known globally as the Queen of Eyebrows and built her career as an esthetician working with clients including Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. She founded Anastasia Beverly Hills in 1997 and has been featured in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Allure, Harper's Bazaar, People, and Entertainment Tonight.
