What suggests to you that anyone here would confuse these things? The discussion is about choice, about which each of the talking points you mention has derivative relevance existing within a greater landscape about the meaning of choice. Hence the lively discussion. I'm not aware of any correlation being drawn between Glasser's theories and the "laws of attraction".. even in this thread.
