- Not such a secret!
- This book is so hugely popular and I can't really figure out why.
I thought the book was very repetitive. I felt like I was reading the same things over and over. The book could probably have been cut in half!
OK, the book... Well I do believe in positive thinking. I do believe that positive thinking can help you in your life. I think that if you think neg. all the time you will actually stop good things from happening. I also think that when you are a negative person you attract other neg. people. If you are looking for a new job and you are always thinking "I will never find a good job, there are no jobs out there, whats the use?" etc. how hard are you actually going to try to get a new job? but if you are thinking "I know I can get a better job, I have lots of experience, someone will want to hire me." you are going to be trying harder to find a job. So the way you think does directly affect you.
If you are a natural "neg. thinker" those neg. thoughts will bring you down. If you are a pos. thinker you will just naturally be a happier person because positive thought bring on other pos. thoughts. You will also be a more attractive person with a more pos. attitude and you ill attract better people.
I feel the same way about worrying, Worrying has no purpose in life! It doesn't solve anything, it does not get you anywhere, it does not make you feel better! It is a total waste of time! My husband and daughter are both worrisome people. I am always telling them, you are wasting your time and energy worrying, worrying does not change the outcome of the problem. The only thing worrying does is bring you down. I do NOT worry! I know this sounds impossible but I really try hard and put forth the effort not to worry. My husband is always telling me "I don't know how you can't worry about this!" He gets mad at me because I don't worry. LOL funny huh?
On the other hand... I do not believe that thinking can bring you material things! Maybe thinking pos. thoughts made you go out and try harder to get what you want, but pos. thinking does not just make things appear by themselves. - 2008-11-03, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The Secret
- "The Secret" is about getting what you want by knowing what you want and thinking about it positively all the time. It gets this concept across really well and is a quite entertaining book.

- Dishonest
- I won't try to expand on the work that has already been done in evaluating this book's merits, or lack thereof. I would simply say that the entire basis for this book, the invisible energy radiated by the individual, may have some merit, but it is certainly NOT a scientifically proven fact, as the book claims.
For serious inquiry into this subject, I recommend Lynne McTaggart's Book, 'The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World'. - 2008-10-28, 1 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Inspirational Reading
- This is a great inspirational read. You must maintain an open mind and accept a new way of looking at your life within the universe. If you live by the code of "what you do reflects upon you" than you will definitely find yourself in this book.

- Great book.............
- Such a great book I am planning on getting several for Christmas gifts - I just finished reading it and am already seeing small results from changing the way I channel thoughts and feelings - I am looking for more changes in near and distant future as I re-read this book over and over!!
