How it feels

This documentary presents interviews with people who promote the law of attraction, a concept that says thinking positively can bring what you want into your life. It teaches that by focusing on your desires and believing you already have them, you can attract those things to yourself.

What happens

The Secret is a 2006 Australian-American spirituality pseudo-documentary consisting of a series of interviews designed to demonstrate the New Thought "law of attraction" - the belief that everything one wants or needs can be satisfied by believing in an outcome, repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional states to "attract" the desired outcome. The film and the subsequent publication of the book of the same name attracted interest from media figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Larry King. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
