Jerry Adler from Newsweek was obviously on a deadline and didn't have time to do his research. He makes it sound like the Law of Attraction is something Rhonda Byrne invented just to sell books, and that Wallace D. Wattles' "The Science of Getting Rich" doesn't really exist.
So far I haven't read one person who has made a smart attack on "The Secret". Everyone rationalizes that everything in "The Secret" is fake just because they don't believe in it, yet many of those critics spend their days in forums just like this one reading about everything related to the LoA and IM.
And everyone uses the same example -- the kid getting his shiny new bike without getting a paper route. By now most critics of "The Secret" seem to be copying off each other.
I personally don't visit websites or try hang around people that I don't agree with, because I don't want their negative energy rubbing off on me.
So I guess my point is, if you don't believe in this stuff, don't get so bent out shape over it. Move on to whatever melts your butter and try to be happy that way --- although because of their negativeness, many of those people will never be happy in any environment.
