Yeah, I also haven't read The Secret to learn the Law of Attraction or how important it is, but I can still identify an obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign when I see it, and it's still an indicator of how seriously I should regard his "research" to the extent he's claiming some public benefit.

I've not seen any indication of any "obnoxious and dishonest marketing campaign" on his part. All I know is that in his books he presents what I feel is very credible research and offers no conclusions.

The missing persons cases he examines are truly remarkable. I don't expect to persuade you of this, but I am responding to you for the possible benefit of anyone else who may be reading these remarks.

And I'll also inform anyone else who may be reading that a simple google search will reveal the guy is a profit-motivated wacko with no credibility who sells paperbacks for 80 dollars.
