As the creator, author, and producer of The Secret in both the book and feature-length film versions, Rhonda Byrne’s intention is to empower all others to live a life of joy.
Australian, Rhonda Byrne is not the first to bring the information contained in "The Secret" to the public but she certainly has captured a world-wide audience and readership for her DVD and books. The books have been translated into Spanish and Turkish and the English version tops the New York Times best seller list for Hard Cover Advice.
The Law of Attraction and the art of manifestation have been written about and taught by many authors and speakers including Napolean Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" which was first published in 1937 and continues to be sold in bookshops today. Other authors to explore this theme include Dr Wayne Dyer "The Power of Intention", Bob Proctor "You were Born Rich, Wallace D Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich",Shakti Gawain "Creative Visualisation - Use the power of the mind to Create What you Want in Life", Sanaya Roman "Creating Money through Abundance".
Rhonda Byrne seems to have captured the right note to get the message of an abundant universe out to many more people worldwide.
In Australia, David Schirmer has developed a CD and DVD program called "How to Apply The Secret, Step by Step", in which he breaks the process down to 5 key areas. http://www.thesecret.com.au/

I enjoyed reading your blog today, especially your post about "The Secret," and I thought that you and your readers may be interested to learn that a new edition of Napoleon Hill's classic book "Think and Grow Rich" has been published. (TGR, of course, is the wellspring and foundation stone for "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction.)
The book's title is "Think and Grow Rich!" (subtitled) "The Original Version, Restored and Revised." I am the editor/annotator of this new 416-page edition, which is really an homage to Dr. Hill. (For several years I was the editor-in-chief of "Think & Grow Rich Newsletter.")
What I have done is this: to restore Dr. Hill's book to its original manuscript content (it was first published in 1937, but was abridged in 1960), annotate it with more than 50 pages of endnotes (most of the persons and events he discusses are generally unknown to readers today), index it thoroughly, add an appendix with a wealth of additional information about Dr. Hill and his work, and revise the book in ways to help remove certain "impediments" to reading the book today (language that today would be considered obsolete, sexist or racist). None of these things had previously been done with TGR.
If you would like to learn a little more about this project, a quick visit to www.tgr-restored-revised.com will give you some details. The "Editor's Foreword" provides more complete information, and the “Testimonials” page will demonstrate how well-received this new book is around the world.
Here is the book’s Amazon.com page...
http://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Original-Restored/dp/1593302002/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-4747976-2224727?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191524360&sr=1-1
The book is available on all the Amazon websites and most other online sellers (it is now the No. 1 best-selling version of TGR on Amazon), it can be ordered by any bookstore, and it will soon be appearing in bookstores everywhere. We also sell direct, at substantial discounts, to personal success coaches and motivational speakers who use it for back-of-the-room sales and to teach Master Mind and Personal Success Study Groups.
Our edition of TGR! is superior in every way to other versions on the market. It is a trade paperback, not a pocket-size mass market paperback. It is unabridged. It is 416 pages versus 230+ (depending on the edition). It looks better, feels better, reads better than any other version. It is fast becoming the "version of choice" among Napoleon Hill devotees and other students of success and high achievement.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Ross Cornwell, Editor
