I find it interesting... July 26, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I do find it interesting that those who find the reviews "helpful" seem to lean toward the negative responses. Those more positive responses about the book have little or no support for a helpful review. A lot of negativity floating around out there. Doesn't anyone find that "interesting"? People have always accused me of wearing rose-colored glasses while riding my rainbow - but then again, good things always come my way while those who would ridicule me continue to spiral down in some sort of dramatic demise. I'd rather wear my rose-colored glasses than hide behind dark sunglasses any day while complaining I can't see. Make your on luck people. Don't wait for it. That's all this book is telling you. That's what life is telling you. Can you "wish away" bad things? No. But you can instill action. Do something, instead of waiting for something to happen to you or FOR you. Is that so wrong? What's that old tried and true saying? Oh yeah...God helps those who help themselves. Do that one. Or you can do the other old tried and true statement...Misery loves company. You choose.
Powerful Process July 25, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
In essence "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne presents a powerful process that is easy for you to put into practice in order to feel better and create a more healthy & enjoyable life.
What I like most about this book is that there are many professional & knowledgeable contributors who provide valuable insight into important aspects of how to manifest prosperity in your life.
There are awesome potent quotes throughout the book, some of which I've listed below to give you an idea of the quality and integrity inherent in "The Secret"...
"Desire connects you with the thing desired and expectation draws it into your life." Bob Proctor
"If it is a new thought to you that gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony witht the creative energies of the Universe, consider it well, and you will see that it is true." Wallace Wattles
"Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success." Genevieve Behrend
"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." Albert Einstein
"Most of the leaders in the past missed the great part of The Secret, which is to empower and share with others. Dr. Denis Waitley
"Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be, when you start using The Secret." Bob Proctor
"The predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like attracts like, consequently, the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as correspond to its nature." Charles Haanel
"The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence." Charles Haanel
"The simplest way for me to look at the law of attraction is if I think of myself as a magnet, and I know that a magnet will attract to it." John Assaraf
"I've seen many miracles take place in people's lives. Financial miracles, miracles of physical healing, mental healing, healing of relationships." Michael Bernard Beckwith
I recommend the Secret as a most powerful & potent book to read.
Even better read along with "Nexus" by Deborah Morrison & Arvind Singh, a contemporary, new energy, spiritual novel about the intricacies of vivid & fascinating characters on their life transformational journeys.

Loved this book... great life examples. Teaches you how to view life in an optimistic way and in turn get the things you really want. I highly recommend.
'Feel good' philosophy July 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The title sums it all. 'The Secret' is revealed in the first few pages of the book and the rest of the book just elaborates on 'The Secret'.
You become what you think so think positively, act positively, entertain positive emotions and curtail negative ones. If you want to live happily, think about being happy, if you want wealth think about it, if you want good health think about being healthy and the list goes on and on....The placebo effect is given utmost importance.
If a storm or a natural calamity kills masses, it's because of their thinking which happened to be negative in some capacity, totally unknown to them - Give me a break!
Abundance is the way to go. The book advocates 'Giving' but undermines 'Sacrifice'. Because, 'Giving' indicates prosperity and abundance and 'Sacrifice' indicates poverty. A tremendous let down to conventional religious patrons.
The book might be helpful if you are in deep distress but fails to impress any sane rational thinker. The author tries to substantiate her holistic approach through some quantum mechanics etc but doesn't do a good a job. If you become what you think and you think positive about yourself and 10 others think negatively about yourself. What happens then? What if 100 or 1000 think negatively about yourself. Are the effects totally and utterly negated against you? If you don't want to think much and just want some 'feel good' philosophy, then this book is for you and you will probably enjoy it.
Essential reading for people without a clue. July 21, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
"The Secret" is fine for anyone who never read anything about this subject, or had a training or anything at all. It is basic. But didn't teach me anything new.
