This is the same junk as The Secret.

Those ideas date back millennia, there's never a shortage of shysters selling a lie.

Should we be calling this New New Age? Because this is basically New Age quackery making a comeback without even bothering to change anything.

Don't be like that. It is well up to the standard to be expected of the BBC.
