Do you know The Secret? Do you believe in the Law of Attraction?

I hadn't heard about it until a month ago, when I went to see my family in Brazil and realised all my friends were talking about it. Even my doctor asked me to read the books and watch the DVD.

, by Rhonda Byrne, is a worldwide bestseller, with more than 7 million copies sold. It's in the New York Times and the USA Today bestseller lists.

I later found out that the Law of Attraction is a big talking point, with websites dedicated to it and weekly radio shows in the US.

The author and producer, Rhonda Byrne, was on and Larry King's shows earlier in the year.

What do you think? Do you believe in the Law of Attraction? Has it worked for you?

Or do you think this is just another attempt to sell books and make money?
