Bob Proctor (born July 5, 1934) is a Canadian self-help author, who identifies himself as a philosopher. He is best known for his New York Times best-selling book You Were Born Rich (1984) and a contributor to the film The Secret (2006). Proctor's material has maintained the idea that a positive self-image is critical for obtaining success, frequently referencing the Law of Attraction. This includes all the books he has authored as well as seminars he conducts, and videos shared.
Proctor, as well as the law of attraction, has been often criticized for being a threat to individuals for suggesting that simply having a sustained thought over time will materialize into reality, whether it be for riches or for health. Furthermore, experts believe individuals may opt for positive thinking instead of physical therapies or medical intervention. There has been no clear evidence supporting the law of attraction scientifically, and is therefore considered a pseudoscience. (wikipedia)
