I read his one of his books in the 90s, in which he talked about how he believed in magic (specifically a rather hardline interpretation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_attraction_(New_Thought... via 'quantum' magic). He's been fairly out there for a while.

What book was that? All his books published prior to the 2000s were Dilbert compilations, so you might have the wrong date or the wrong person.
