SiteMore on The Secret: Legal woes for author
My blog post from last June about the hoopla surrounding the self-help movie/book and ensuing media phenomenon, The Secret, generated some commentary here. While I do believe in the Law of Attraction, I was critical of the film I’d seen, which actually dared to suggest that people became seriously ill or encountered misfortune because they somehow attracted it. Of course, this is true to some degree — cigarette smoking often leads to cancer, reckless spending can bring you to a bankruptcy court — but sometimes, life is just plain bad luck.
I read in the New York Times today that The Secret’s author, Rhonda Byrne, is now being sued for millions by a contractor who was promised part of the profits. The Law of Attraction at work? Or is it Shit Happens? [db]
