The Law of Attraction and the philosophy behind the popular film, “The Secret” (written by Rhonda Byrne) we explore the beliefs behind this “Law” and its potential flaws. The Law of Attraction has been around for quite a while now, with roots that stem back into the 1800s, along with the rise of New Age Spirituality. But with Rhonda Byrne’s film, “The Secret” which was promoted extensively by Oprah Winfrey, the Law of Attraction has reached whole new heights of popularity. This in addition to the continuous popularity and sales of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”, has created a large following of believers in the Law of Attraction and the idea that our thoughts and feelings are able to quite literally change the reality we are living in. This begs the question… does the law of attraction work? Can I truly manifest the life I want? I’ll be taking a look into the actual philosophy behind the Law of Attraction, the supposed “science” behind this belief, and potential explanations for why it can sometimes seem like our thoughts and feelings are able to change our reality.
