"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne an Australian television and film producer. Her central claim is that the "law of attraction" governs our universe. However the fear that "The Secret" will lead to a blame-the-victim mentality is a serious claim of critics. For example the book dismisses conditions such as a genetic predisposition to being overweight or a slow thyroid as "disguises for thinking 'fat thoughts.'" And during times in which massive number of lives were lost, the book says, the "frequency of their thoughts matched the frequency of the event." Psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser said after reading "The Secret" several patients have worried that it was their fault they were abused or laid off. "The law of attraction says that like attracts like, and when you think and feel what you want to attract on the inside, the law will use people, circumstances and events to magnetize what you want to you, and magnetize you to it," Byrne said in an e-mail in response.

Nice clip.
