The Secret Hardcover - 2006

by Rhonda Byrne


About this book

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is a self-help book that proposes the law of attraction as the key to achieving success and happiness. The author suggests that positive thoughts can attract positive outcomes, and negative thoughts can attract adverse outcomes. The book offers guidance on how to use visualization, gratitude, and positive affirmations to manifest one's desires. Byrne, a television producer in Australia, fell into a depression after her father's death in 2004. Her daughter gave her a book, The Science of Getting Rich (2010), by the New Thought author Wallace Wattles which inspired Byrne to create the documentary film The Secret, released on March 23rd, 2006. Later that year, a book of the same name was published. Since then, the book has sold over 30 million copies and has been translated into 50 languages. 



Summary

In 2006, a groundbreaking feature-length film revealed the great mystery of the universe—The Secret—and, later that year, Rhonda Byrne followed with a book that became a worldwide bestseller. Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it. In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life—money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life. The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers—men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.
