Have you read this book and still find yourself confused or feeling like you're missing something? That's because this book (and its movie counterpart) was severely edited like many books over the years removing "the secret" that this book was originally based on. The Secret was originally inspired by the work of Esther and Jerry Hicks and the Teachings of Abraham. Esther was in the first edition of the Secret movie but after some distribution changes the Hicks' original contract was in conflict with that and so they chose to be edited out completely rather than sign over their intellectual property rights. Search for their material and you'll get the answers that this book was supposed to provide to you.

I borrowed this book from the library (Thank god I didn't pay for it!) and now am ashamed to return it in person after reading the entire book! (Yes I bothered to continue reading it because I couldn't believe that a pure insult to the intelligence of the readers can be marketed so successfully!) The main idea which has been claimed as a secret is not a secret at all. The effectiveness of positive thinking is part of a common human wisdom. All the so called 'secrets' in the book could be placed on a single tablet of Moses. Even one can save time just by reading the summary sections at the end of each chapter.

No where in the book it is mentioned that one need to do hard work in addition of wishful/positive thinking in order to achieve wealth, health and fame! (Even the so called writers in the book had to do some hard work to market this garbage successfully!) Can anyone explain how come all of her readers win a Lotto jackpot in their lifetime just by visualizing it? In my opinion, this book will only be helpful for those people who have no hope left in any sense (terminaly ill patients, for example)

And it's a great tool for right wing capitalist governments to suppress possible social unrest due to discrimination and inequality--because the book says, the victims are always to be blamed for their negetive thinking! One shouldn't even be engaged in any 'anti' protest (anti-war, for example), all we are allowed to do is 'pro-peace' activism! Even Gandhi would find this approach useless. However, I would say the methodology will only work if every one in earth will follow it. But before that, what ideology will solve all the conflicts in the world? The formula can best be described as an outcome, not a means or way.

Finally, to remain faithful to Rondha Byrne's core idea, I wouldn't say don't buy this book, but just hope for something better from Rhonda in future! For those who already bought it, I would tell them to visualize that they have got a cheque automatically in their mailbox from Rondha Byrne as a refund--If Rhonda is part of this universe, she shouldn't be able to ignore the law of attraction, right?

Now it's your turn to prove your point Rhonda!

I recently purchased "The Secret" audiobook. I found the content to be quite...empowering. It gives you a positive boost and helps you to think positive. It is not really a secret but, I believe in the detailed content of the book. It makes total sense but, the only flaw is, i think many people already knew about the positive and negative attraction theory...nonetheless, i recommend the book.
