‘The Secret’ Author Rhonda Byrne Has New Release in November

The author of the million-selling self-help book “The Secret” is aiming even higher with her next work.

Rhonda Byrne's “The Greatest Secret” is coming out Nov. 24, HarperOne announced Friday.

According to the publisher, “The Greatest Secret” takes readers on a journey that provides “the most direct way out for those experiencing hardship and the path to end pain and suffering endured by so many.”

Byrne said in a statement that “With every step you take through this book, you will become happier and your life will become more effortless, fears and uncertainty of the future will no longer plague you, anxiety and stress about your daily struggles or world events will dissolve, and you can and will be free of every form of suffering.”

Byrne's new book, like “The Secret,” will be released through publisher Judith Curr. She was head of the Simon & Schuster imprint Atria Books in 2006 when “The Secret” came out, and she is now president and publisher of HarperOne.

“The Secret" has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide. A film adaptation starring Katie Holmes came out last month.

As part of its World Arabic Language Day celebration, the Jeddah Book Fair 2025 has organized a panel discussion on expanding Arabic literature’s global reach.

The event was held under the cultural program overseen by the Saudi Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission. Several female academics and other literature enthusiasts took part.

The panel discussed the concept of world literature and its relationship to comparative literature, stressing that opening Arabic texts to the world’s literature requires moving beyond local geographic boundaries and engaging in wider circles of reception and circulation.

The discussion also highlighted the key role of the press and media in conveying literary texts and reaching global readers, while praising Saudi efforts to internationalize Arabic literature through clear plans and strategies as a sustainable institutional approach.

The panel is part of the commission’s efforts to mark global occasions linked to Arabic literature and culture within an integrated cultural program offered by the Jeddah Book Fair, which continues to welcome visitors until December 20, with Saudi and Arab publishing houses showcasing the latest literary releases.
