it's a little bit like, and a bit different than, that book: "The Secret". the authors were well known in the field of spiritual psychology, and four of them collaborated on explaining how positive thoughts and affirmations could 'attract' what one desired. then after they had made a fortune, a couple of yrs later, they discreetly withdrew their endorsement of the 'method', claiming it was 'over simplified'.

some people ARE so desperate that they will grasp at straws... it is very sad that nothing is safe from the scam artists.
