^^^Although I see the "physical" as just one end of the spectrum I'd agree. Some people seem to think the spiritual holds the answers to all the woes of their world. They want quick solutions rather than critical examination and work to put things right on the mundane.

In part I'd blame the New Age Industry that makes a huge amount of money out of persuading people that it has all those answers which it doesn't. It might have some answers but the tendency to lead people up a blind alley is all too rife. And youtube has a lot to answer for too. There's a link elsewhere to a youtube on affirmation. Turns out it isn't just a perversion of classical affirmation but it's one of these "feel better" things that right-minded people would be doing naturally (aside from it having a few contradictions!) Optimism and well-being are the norm for some.
