Some people have rediscovered inspirational books, such as Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and James Allen's "As A Man Thinketh", in which wealth is achieved by one's thinking habit.
You are what you think and you are what you want to be.
It's no surprise that Byrne's "The Secret" became a bestseller, as the book also believes that wealth comes to people who want it.
