Wikipedia's article on Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, covering its 2006 film and book publication, its law of attraction claim, its sales figures, and its critical reception among physicists, psychologists and social critics. Useful for the publication, sales and reception spine; not a source for whether the law of attraction itself is a sound claim, which needs the scientific and clinical sources cited separately.

NotesCollaboratively edited encyclopedia article, checked directly.
