- Self-help built on the “law of attraction”: the idea that thinking positively about what you want draws it to you.
- The Secret is hugely popular but one of the lowest rated books on this site, and its claims have no scientific support.
- The later books, The Power, The Magic and The Greatest Secret, repeat the same idea with gratitude exercises and more.

How this plan is calculated
The plan comes from the pages and ratings of each volume: we split the series into stages of about three weeks’ reading, size each break to the stage before it, and read the chance of finishing from how many readers rate the last volume compared with the first. How we work out the plan →
