$150 million battle to keep The Secrets

THE Australian director of the international self-help phenomenon The Secret is suing its creator Rhonda Byrne for $150 million.

The director Drew Heriot claims he is owed the money from Ms Byrne, originally from Melbourne, for the popular straight-to-DVD movie and the best-selling self-help book on which it is based.

Ms Byrne has been working overtime to repel the negativity emanating from a series of lawsuits over her huge money-spinning life guide.

Very interesting. It seems like the Aussie contingent acting in a pretty disgraceful way so they stand to lose it all.

I have the secret book too and I've read it several times and after several passes I find most of it pure unsubstantiated hype. Yes there are some helpful quotes but most of it is carefully designed hype.

Why do you think so many of these people have been scrutinised and found not up to par? Look at the Aussie guy David Schirmer, he is a bloody disgrace and totally ruined the whole thing. I could be annoyed about that but I'm not because I think it was going to happen anyway. If their intention was just to make money while screwing with peoples minds then it stood to reason that the results would be they would lose the money and have their own minds screwed with. The saddest thing is some people believed in the person so they have been badly hurt. Then there are people who have been hurt financially because of some people lies. Those sorts of things are unforgivable and exactly why they are getting the results that they are now.

So no, I'm not surprised, just interested to see what happens.

It's like the time when God was walking down the road with Devil and they came across a shining ball called 'Truth'. They both stood there amazed at how brilliant it was. Then the devil bent down and picked it up and said "Ah... I will market it"!.
