It depends on the reader, not the cards.
I agree, though, it's best not to control a river.

What I do object to is the overly fluffy video marketing campaign that jazzes up the principles, making them "sexy" in order to reap a bunch of money from the naive for a new crop of entrepreneurs/hucksters. I personally accept that our mental conditioning has much to do with the personal reality we experience in life, I just can't buy the "just add water and stir" version of instant gratification shown in the videos. I feel pretty much the same about the use of tarot for blind "affirmation" instead of the much more complex and self-motivating "empowerment."
I can't say fairly that the Law of Attraction doesn't "work;" it's really an old idea with a fresh coat of paint. I chased down its antecedants one time, and it seems to have it's roots in Phineas Quimby's New Thought movement of the late 19th - early 20th centuries, and it's premise that "our mental states are carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living." This isn't all that different from what the Buddhist doctrine teaches about the self-realizing capabilities of the "heart."
