I felt horrible for her and only wished there was something that I could do. That’s when I started thinking about the book again.

[10] Reception [ edit ] Gross [ edit ] Critics contend that the book is based on a pseudoscientific theory called the "law of attraction"—the principle that "like attracts like". [1] In a harshly critical 2010 review, The New York Times stated: " The Power and The Secret are larded with references to magnets, energy and quantum mechanics. This last is a dead giveaway: whenever you hear someone appeal to impenetrable physics to explain the workings of the mind, run away—we already have disciplines called ' psychology' and ' neuroscience' to deal with those questions. Byrne's onslaught of pseudoscientific jargon serves mostly to establish an 'illusion of knowledge,' as social scientists call our tendency to believe we understand something much better than we really do." [4] This is also true for relationships. If you don’t treat yourself the way you want others to treat you, your actions contradict your desires for a happy, healthy relationship. First, you must start with yourself. You are responsible for your own joy. When you independently create joy in your life, you’ll naturally be more loving to those that surround you. This will attract more people to you. US TV host Oprah Winfrey is a proponent of the book.
