This illustration accompanied a back page essay in last sunday's New York Times Book Review entitled Fight the Power, by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. They discuss the pseudo-science behind the New Age self-help book - and huge bestselling juggurnaut - THE SECRET, and it's sequel THE POWER, by Rhonda Byrne.

Clearly the poor, the downtrodden and the sickly have only themselves to blame. If they'd only had the backbone to spring for The Secret, The Secret Gratitude Book, The Secret Daily Teachings, The Power, and the many DVDs and audiobooks, they could easily have learned to wish their way out of their misery!
