Rhonda Byrne is an Australian television producer and author, born on March 12, 1951, in Melbourne, Australia. She initially worked as a radio producer before transitioning to television, where she gained experience with the Nine Network. In 1994, she co-founded her own production company, Prime Time Productions, which produced various reality programs.
Byrne rose to international prominence with her work on The Secret, a documentary film released in 2006 that explores the concept of the Law of Attraction—the idea that positive thinking can lead to positive outcomes in life. Following the film’s success, she published The Secret book later that year, which quickly became a bestseller, selling over 34 million copies worldwide and being translated into more than 50 languages. The book remained on The New York Times bestseller list for over 200 weeks and has been credited with igniting a global movement around personal empowerment and self-help.
In addition to The Secret, Byrne has authored several other bestselling books, including The Power (2010), The Magic (2012), Hero (2013), How The Secret Changed My Life (2016), The Greatest Secret (2020), and The Secret to Love, Health, and Money: A Masterclass (2022). Her works continue to focus on themes of manifestation and personal transformation.
Byrne’s influence extends beyond her books and films; she has appeared on numerous media platforms, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, and has been recognized as one of the most influential people in the world by TIME magazine. Today, she remains dedicated to creating life-changing tools in various formats, including books, films, and mobile apps, aimed at helping individuals harness their potential and improve their lives.
