My wife was talking to her sister on the phone earlier this evening. My sister-in-law was suggesting that my wife should read a book and watch a DVD called, “The Secret” by a person called Rhonda Byrne.

Apparently, “The Secret” is a self-help, spiritual concept that incorporates something called the, “Law of Attraction” which Byrne says has something to do with quantum physics(!).
Having done a cursory search on the internet about this, it is quite clear that it is fatuous nonsense of the highest order. My question is – how do you tactfully tell someone that they're flirting with irrationality?
