My Review of The Secret

The Secret is a book that has become a bestselling phenomenon that really can change your life, but only if you are willing to make the change. What the Secret really is is the law of attraction.

This secret has been passed down through the ages and is understood by many of the most successful and people who live in great abundance for thousands of years.

The Secret had began as a DVD, the author, Rhonda Byrne had faced one of the most difficult times of her life and came out of it only after learning The Secret. Out of gratitude, she created the DVD to share this knowledge with the world.

Byrne claims that the law of attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. It can give you control over your life. Because The Secret is an absolute law, the law of attraction will always respond to your thoughts no matter if they are positive or negative thoughts.

The law of attraction even dates back to the Bible. In Matthew 21:22, it states "Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." The law of attraction asks for the following:

  • Know what you want and ask the universe for it.
  • Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.
  • Be open to receiving it.

    In all truth, there is nothing new in The Secret. But what it does do, is present the law of attraction in a fun, easy to read, and entertaining way. It is absolutely worth the read and is a book that I believe everyone can benefit from in one way or another.

    RickBasset says:

    I enjoyed the book but thought it was a little vague on the details, but I still think it is a great contribution to the overall concept of "You create your own reality".

    peace! :~)

    It is a bunch of hype.

    triathlontraining says:

    I didn't care for it myself. It just seemed like a bunch of marketing spun up by Oprah.

    Heino says:

    Another massive scam for the masses. Kool-Aid, anyone?

      The Secret Fallacy:
      1. If you don't think positively, good things won't happen to you.
      2. THEREFORE: if you do think positively, good things will happen to you.

      Don't see the bs yet? Here, how about an analogy:

      1. If you don't practice singing, you will not become famous like Pavarotti.
      2. THEREFORE: If you do practice singing, you will become famous like Pavarotti.

      I agree. The Secret is a good book but there is books out there that contain more meat and less hype!

      Peace!
