Here is an excerpt from the L.A. Times, written by Karin Klein:
"Manifesting," for those outside the self-help loop, is the big buzzword from "The Secret," a new DVD with a tie-in book featuring the ancient idea of having it all without trying very hard. If "The Secret" had a plot, it might go something like "Tony Robbins uncovers the Judas Gospel and learns to use the Force."
Take a tip from someone who used to spend all her spare time in the "self-help" section: Read your Bible. It is the ultimate self-help book.

Newsweek has an article about it. There's nothing new in her book. It's the same thing a lot of positive thinking writers and speakers have been saying. About 20 years ago, we called what she's talking about "Name it, claim it" theology. It meant that if you want a Mercedes Benz, all you have to do is say (until you get it) "A Mercedes Benz will be mine." She even says that if you are trying to lose weight, not to look at fat woman. If you happen to see one, look away and picture yourself thin! Crazy!
