Food, fun and emotional fulfilment filled 2007's bestseller lists—and Harry Potter
EVERYBODY knows who the world's bestselling writer was last year. But how many people realise that the second biggest selling author after J.K. Rowling was a blonde Australian television producer called Rhonda Byrne, who claims she knows the way to emotional feng shui—or how to achieve perfect health, wealth and happiness.
The key to it, she says, is one of the laws of the universe, known throughout history to such sages as Plato, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln and Einstein. The secret is attraction; the power is within. All you need do is to think enough positive thoughts and whatever you want will soon be winging its way towards you. If it doesn't work first time round, repeat with gusto.
Its publishers claim there are 6m copies of “The Secret” in circulation, helped by a nudge from Oprah Winfrey. Who says the taste for alchemy isn't alive and well in the scientific age?
