[Oldandeasilyconfused]

"The Secret" isn't.

The philosophical basis is a form of solipism.

I first came across the "Law of Attraction" in 1969 in a book called "Bing Out the Magic Of Your Mind' by Al Koran,a stage magician.

An earlier version was " Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill"

Latterly "You'll See It When You Believe it" by Dr Wayne Dyer"

I have my own opinion,but think most people here are smart enough to draw their own conclusions.
