Rhonda Byrne
Born: March 12, 1951 – Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Rhonda Byrne is an Australian author and producer whose work centers on self-help, positive thinking, and the “law of attraction.” She is best known for The Secret, which began as a 2006 film and became a global bestselling book that sold millions of copies, followed by The Power and The Magic.
Biography & Author's Journey
Rhonda Byrne is an Australian writer and producer whose career began in radio and moved into television long before she became associated with self-help publishing. Screen Australia credits her on Australian factual and documentary programs including Learners, Oz Encounters, Sensing Murder, The Gift, and later The Secret. A decisive turning point came in late 2004 and 2005, after a period of personal and professional upheaval, when reading Wallace D. Wattles’s 1910 book The Science of Getting Rich prompted a concentrated research journey and a new mission to share what she called “The Secret” with a mass audience.
