The New York Times bestselling authors of The Passion Test, Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood, are not featured in the film) or the book, but arranged 36 of the 52 interviews for the film, many of which are referenced in the book.
Background
The book served as the basis for the 2020 film The Secret: Dare to Dream.
Synopsis
Byrne re-introduces a notion originally popularized by persons such as Madame Blavatsky and Norman Vincent Peale that thinking about certain things will make them appear in one's life. Byrne provides examples of historical persons who have allegedly achieved this. Byrne cites a three-step process: ask, believe, and receive. This is based on a quotation from the Bible's Matthew 21:22: "Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive."
