The quantum physicists cited in The Secret and What the Bleep do We Know? have all come out after the fact saying they were taken out of context. Some have been quite upset to have their field manipulated in that way. Whatever message those films and the books and other products surround them are promoting, it doesn't have much to do with actual quantum mechanics.
To address the OP question: I don't believe in positive thinking the way most people usually talk about it. We can't convincingly talk ourselves into or out of anything. Not for long, at least. Positive thinking doesn't call into any question the "truth" of our view of a situation--instead it attempts to invoke and therefore summon forth whatever is needed to survive or overcome how it "is", and that "truth" is left intact as "THE truth". It's actually cemented in place as a thing that "is" that must be overcome or survived. So any effort (including positive thinking) to "improve" how it "is" just leaves you with more truth and mass around that which "is".
Now, if we get responsible for the talking we're already doing (to ourselves and others) and the world and "truth" that our usual language calls into existence, THEN something actually new is possible.
This post probably sounds like complete gobbledygook, but if you get what I'm saying here, it's life-altering.
