The Secret, Manifestation and Intuition: How to Think, Feel and Act Your Way to the Life You Want
From Bob Proctor to Abraham Hicks to John Assaraf, the world's leading manifestation teachers share a common thread. This is what they actually teach — and how to apply it in your real life.
In 2006, a film called The Secret introduced tens of millions of people worldwide to a concept that had been quietly circulating in philosophical and spiritual traditions for centuries: the idea that your thoughts, feelings, and focus are not passive observers of your life but active participants in creating it.
The film featured some of the most prominent voices in personal development — Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, and Dr Joe Vitale among them — alongside the teachings of Abraham Hicks, the collective wisdom channelled through Esther Hicks that had been laying the intellectual groundwork for the Law of Attraction for decades prior.
The Secret was not the origin of these ideas. It was a popularisation of principles that trace back through Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich (1937), Wallace Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich (1910), and further still into philosophical and spiritual traditions that span cultures and centuries. What the film did was make these principles accessible to an audience that had never encountered them before.
