Excuse me, "Excuse Me, Your Soul-Mate is waiting" is waiting for you to read

Just because I really like The Rules and How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk doesn't mean I have no standards when it comes to self help literature. Some of my friends, in fact, complain that I'm a bit of a self help snob. I can't help it. I have really, really good taste in somethings. And Self Help Lit is just one of those somethings.

I perused a book-- OK, I bought it but still have the receipt and plan to return it to Barnes & Noble where I told the guy who rang me up I was writing an article on relationships, not, why else would I be buying a book like this-- called Excuse Me, Your Soul Mate is Waiting. It's fine to be new age-y, but it talks about "vibes" and vibrations as if they were cells or smells or weight, ie something measurable. For instance:

Have you ever met someone with whom you really connected in a strange or unexpected way, and you just had a gut feeling that it was meant to be? Or have you landed a great new job just by "coincidence," or found a twenty-dollar bill lying on the sidewalk just after you lost your job? Chances are these events were attracted into your life because you were "vibrating" positive energy into the universe. And the right energy will bring to you opportunities that you never imagined possible.

If you were vibrating positive energy into the universe, wouldn't you be protected from "losing your job?" Wouldn't the universe send vibrations to your boss that said "you will not fire this highly vibrating person" ?
