Index of Terms

Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is the pseudoscientific principle that like attracts like, so energy you emit through thoughts, emotions, and vibrations directly influences the experiences you attract into your life. King believes that by focusing on positive thoughts and cultivating a mindset aligned with your desires, you can draw positive outcomes and opportunities toward you. This concept is part of the book’s central message: that personal growth and success are achieved by consciously aligning your internal state with your external goals, using magical thinking to manifest reality.

Law of Vibration

The Law of Vibration posits that everything in the universe, including matter and energy, operates at specific vibrational frequencies that determine how we perceive and interact with the world (a non-scientific idea based on belief). King claims that aligning one’s personal vibration with desired outcomes is crucial to achieving goals and manifesting success. Pseudoscientists like Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden purport to show how thought vibrations shape reality. King’s concept of “good vibes” is tied to higher vibrations associated with positive emotions such as love and gratitude, which attract similar energies; lower vibrations like anger or fear create negativity. By cultivating higher vibrational frequencies, individuals can create a harmonious environment for growth, both mentally and physically, aligning their inner energy with their desired external outcomes.

Belief System

King defines a belief system as a collection of thoughts, values, and assumptions that shape how individuals perceive the world and make decisions. These belief systems are often influenced by external sources such as family, culture, and society, and can sometimes become limiting if left unexamined. King encourages readers to critically assess their own belief systems, especially those that may hinder self-worth. He advocates transforming these limiting beliefs into empowering ones, and embracing new perspectives that support happiness, success, and personal fulfillment. By challenging outdated or restrictive beliefs, readers can create pathways to a more positive, self-affirming mindset.

Self-Love

Self-love is a central pillar of Good Vibes, Good Life. King defines it as the practice of nurturing, accepting, and valuing oneself unconditionally. This concept includes self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-respect, and is foundational to happiness. King highlights that without self-love, you cannot build a positive mindset, as you may inadvertently sabotage your progress by not valuing yourself. By cultivating self-love, individuals strengthen their sense of self-worth, improve their emotional and mental well-being, and attract healthier relationships. King argues that embracing self-love allows one to create a life that is in alignment with desires and potential, enabling growth and greater happiness.
