The Secret

Interesting book based on old thoughts...basically visualization, the power of positive thinking...what you send out to the universe gets sent back to you (positive or negative energy). I liked it.

Well it was a good read but i really dint liked the imposing of some false factors.. ll give it 6 outta ten

I think that this book tries so hard to be popular. If it is a secret, then it should be kept as such, and not popularised. It kind of defeats the title purpose. I have skimmed through, and watched some videos. The "impact" they were trying to create seemed false at best. Something exciting like the universal secrets, should be subtle, not being "in your face" as how this whole thing is set up. One consolation is that it is very deep. Too deep to be read, or digested even in a dozen sittings. If you say you've read this book, then you clearly haven't. One page is enough for pondering for days, months.. years. It does not mean you've read the book means you "get" the book. In fact, even those who claim to live by universal laws don't, alot of the time.

This book gives ur motivation a boost

amazing
And it works!

This book was pretty much a waste of time to read. After the first few chapters of 'the secret' you start thinking, "When is it going to be over?" This book repeats itself over and over. I most definitly would not tell any high-school friends of mine to read this. It is more of a depressed, lonely, nothing-better-to-do, dumpy person book. It might lift their spirits a little.

I love this book and its message. Yes, i would say it is a beginner but it has led me to several new insights that have changed my life and relationships. I had no direction...always felt in a slump. I was looking for something, and the Secret was the begining. Yes...The message is nothing new...no big SECRET...but when you actually LISTEN to what is being said..you get it. Its written in a way that i finally heard. I started living possitive, trying not to judge anything...found there was no harm in using my thoughts and imagination to ask for things i wanted..never felt i had the right or was worthy of them....but what harm....I was approched by several people saying i was glowing...happier...everyone wanted some of what i had...which is sad in its own way...I was just happy!! Now im not saying that the UNIVERSE gave me all the things i asked for..(and i recieved several) but the possitive thinking and my happiness attracted so many oppertunities for me to recieve the things i wanted. I never seen them before. The secret just helps remind you of the tools you already have to better yourself....and I am thankful for the reminder!!! Remember to remember be aware of your thoughts...it is true...thoughts become things!!!

Seriously?

Are people really so desperate and gullible to believe in this kind of feel-good "esoteric" stuff? Why are people not content with reality, and choose to top it with lies?

Note: This is not only criticism, it is also an actual question. Please respond as such.

What a piece of total non-sense this book is. Tell the so-called "Secret" to billions suffering in countries where YOU are not in charge of YOU. Easy for the author living in a civilized world to say. Of course where there is law and stability, the only obstacle for personal advancement is YOU, but not where there's none.
