The Secret is a best-selling 2006 self-help book written by
Rhonda Byrne, based on the earlier film of the same name. It is based on the
law of attraction and claims that positive thinking can create life-changing
results such as increased wealth, health, and happiness. The book has sold more
than 19 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 46 languages, but
has nevertheless attracted a great deal of controversy, as well as being
parodied in several TV programs.
