"The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is impersonal and it does not see good things or bad things. It is receiving your thoughts and reflecting back to you those thoughts as your life experience. The law of attraction simply gives you whatever it is you are thinking about." - From the book
An attractive book of 198-pages, The Secret is a deft compilation of direct quotes from the movie version, as well as some connecting thoughts provided by Ms. Byrne. The Secret, according to the author, provides the key to eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible. The Secret heralded discovery, advancement and prosperity through millennia, but was largely withheld from the public. Luminaries like Einstein, Jesus, Plato, Newton, Emerson, Lincoln, Ford--they all knew the secret and applied it accordingly.
So what's the secret? The law of attraction, which, as you probably know, is not new to anyone familiar with New Age/consciousness ideology. The Secret culls wise, practical insights from noted authors, teachers, and life-coaches that show readers how thoughts create reality. That is, what you think literally becomes your life. Every person, every disease, every relationship, every social situation - all are the result of the law of attraction. You cannot behold or experience "anything" that is not the result of your "vibration" magnetizing to a corresponding manifestation. Some of the exceptional contributors to The Secret include Michael Beckwith (founder of Agape International Spiritual Center often featured in What Is Enlightenment? Magazine), Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul series), Hale Dwoskin (The Sedona Method), John Gray (Mars and Venus), Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations With God), Fred Alan Wolf (Dr. Quantum), and many others.
Here are some compelling excerpts from The Secret:
"This is really fun. It's like having the Universe as your catalogue. You flip through it and say, "I'd like to have this experience and I'd like to have that product and I'd like to have a person like that.' It is You placing your order with the Universe. It's really that easy." - Dr. Joe Vitale
"When you visualize then you materialize. Here's an interesting thing about the mind: we took Olympic athletes and had them run their event only in their mind, and then hooked them up to sophisticated biofeedback equipment. Incredibly, the same muscles fired in the same sequence when they were running the race in their mind as when they were running it on the track. How could this be? Because the mind can't distinguish whether you're really doing it or whether it's just a practice. If you've been there in the mind, you'll go there in the body." - Dr. Denis Waitley
"There is no blackboard in the sky on which God as written your purpose, your mission in life...your purpose is what you say it is. Your mission is the mission you give yourself. Your life will be what you create it as, and no will stand in judgment of it, now or ever." - Neale Donald Walsch
Without exception, every contributor to The Secret offers transcendent yet usable wisdom for enhancing well-being. That is, except the author/editor herself. In my opinion, she basically ruined the book for me with two shallow, accusatory contributions that have no place in this incredible book. And, it's these kind of Western superficialities that have ruined law of attraction books for me in the past.
(From quoting Janet Boyer, USA)

In my quest for enlightenment, whether it be spiritual, emotional or physical, I have read numerous books that proclaim to have "the secret". The Secret by Rhonda Byrne actually is one of those rare books that really does have "the secret". This book works. I am actually creating things that I want and those around me that are also reading the book are as well. My sisters and I can't stop telling people about this book. It is easy to read, easy to understand and so easy to follow.If you want to create the life that you have always invisioned and you believe it is possible, please read this book. I just can't imagine anyone NOT benefiting from it.

I'd seen the movie and had wished there was a book for me to read. Walked into a store and there it was waiting for me at the front door. Am now about 2/3s the way through this book and it is working like magic for me. Got the impossible parking space yesterday, have been receiving a check in the mail for several days now, got two surprise days off of work this week for no reason other than I wished for it, a friend I had not spoken to and had been thinking about called me out of the blue to say Hi and I could go on with more examples.
My point is read the book with an open mind and just try asking for a few small things to come into your life. You will be pleasantly amazed how easy and quickly things arrive.
Have also noticed now that I am regularly saying "thank you", the world has been such a nice place to be in. I have complete strangers smiling at me and starting up friendly conversations for no reason. It has been wonderful and have to say, I am now enjoying life so much more and really mean it when I tell people "I feel great!"

The value of reading this book is not in believing every individual assertion made. Instead, it's the "big picture" that makes sense. Essentially, it says that "what we pour our effort into, we bring"...the power of positive thinking. If you don't like some aspect of your life, and all you do is complain about it and worry about it and think about it, nothing will change. But if you can find a vision of what you truly desire, put yourself in a mindset that you are there, and even act like you have what you are looking for, then "the force of the universe" will help you help yourself to acheive. There are plenty of anecdotes. Some of them are too conveniently easy and grand for me to swallow. All the same, I liked the overall message. However, don't mistake it for a "self help" book. It's interesting and can give you some perspective, but it's heavy and theory but weak on strategies. I think it's up to the reader to find your own strategies to make to concept work for you. |

For many years I have believed in the power of the mind and positive thinking. This book is the reality of all those beliefs. It's very easy reading and gives me great insight as to how to make all my dreams become a reality. I recommend that everyone read this book. I take a couple of minutes every morning and read just a few pages and it sets my thinking for the day. It's a truly amazing book. |
