Some books can be so useful, but some books are just theoretical tool.
Am also a reader too but i realize the years of reading some books i didn't have anytime in my life to think for myself, it felt like i was living someone's life, everytime i faced a challenge i would rush to the books. Now am abit picky with some books. To try and error taught me alot and it made me very good in some fields of my life.

If you really want to attract something, imagine it.
But you must imagine what you really really want!
If the imagination comes from an advertisement, a movie, or something else that has influenced your life the way you wanted it to.

You will attract air!

You are right, attracting something or success is much more than just imagining.
