* Rhonda Byrne stumbled on ‘the Secret’ at a low point in her life, shortly after her father died. 


*Reading the New Thought classic, The Science of Getting Rich, introduced her to the ‘law of attraction’ and by implementing its message, she soon began to reap the rewards, both personally and financially. 


*Eager to spread the word, she began developing the idea for a film and interviewed every teacher, writer or speaker that seemed to know about the ‘law of attraction’. 


*In essence, this law says that whatever you think about or focus your attention on becomes reality in your life. We attract things, people and situations that are of a similar ‘vibration’ to ourselves. 


*However dubious this may sound, it’s a theory supported by millions of examples – feelings of abundance only attract more abundance; conversely feelings of lack have a corresponding effect. 


*The film certainly struck a chord, becoming a word-of-mouth download and DVD hit. 


*The book is a powerful work in its own right, bringing together all the elements of the Secret and explaining the transformative effect it can have across all aspects of your life.
