The Secret describes the law of attraction as a natural law that determines the complete order of the universe and of our personal lives through the process of "like attracts like." That is, as we think and feel, a corresponding frequency is sent out into the universe that attracts back to us events and circumstances on that same frequency. For example, if you think angry thoughts and feel angry, you will attract back events and circumstances that cause you to feel more anger. Conversely, if you think and feel positively, you will attract back positive events and circumstances. The law claims that desirable outcomes such as health, wealth, and happiness can be attracted simply by changing one’s thoughts and feelings.
The law of attraction takes cues from "The Master Key System"[citation needed] and from Napoleon Hill's classic Think and Grow Rich. Behavioral psychologist Alfred Adler pioneered a means of therapy called "act as if" in which patients, as part of the therapy, were instructed to "act as if" they already had the confidence, mental strength, etc they desired.[citation needed] Many patients did see success with this type of therapy
