The Movie
Before the book, a film of the same name was also released during March 2006. The concept talked about in the film is that the Law-of-Attraction governs the whole universe.

The Law-of-Attraction As Explained In The Book
According to this book, it is the Law-of-Attraction that governs the universe and the personal lives of people and the process involved is described as “like-attracts-like”. This means that when we have a particular thought or feeling, a frequency corresponding to the thought or feeling is passed on to the universe. This will then attract the events or circumstances of the same frequency and these events or circumstances will be handed out to us.
To quote an example, if we have angry thoughts or frustrated feelings, we will be attracting events or circumstances that will increase our anger or frustration. The converse is also true according to this law which means that when we have positive feelings or thoughts, we will attract and experience positive circumstances or events. So, this principle can be applied for attracting wealth, health and happiness in our life for which we should simply change our thought process and our feelings. Some of the experts who strongly advocate the principles contained in the book “The Secret” have no hesitation in claiming that patients suffering even from the dreadful disease of cancer can cure themselves by applying these principles.
