I find that many of the messages contained in this book are similar to those in "The Secret"...thoughts?

A silly, silly book. Within these pages you will find all the elements of “COMMON SENSE!!”
George Carlin said it best when he questioned the whole self-help genre.
There is NO SUCH THING as self help! If you did yourself, you didn’t need help. If you read a book by somebody else and use their info, that is just HELP!

The secret gives me the creeps... Why do they (all the people who are on the website.) all have red eyes?
Honestly I believe that it was put into place for those who are too lazy or too stupid to understand Plato, Newton, Aristotle or any of them. I say if you want to understand something... Go directly to the source.
Basically it is made for people who can't get beyond one page of books like the Republic, Poetics or ethics. When they at least try to read and appreciate Coleridge, Whitman or Joyce... Then tell me something.
Honestly... It's no secret to me that people are mentally lazy and complacent with their inadequate conditions.
When the day comes that I find a program that offers assistance free of charge with no hidden fee's or cost to anyone or profit to be made... THEN, I will believe it.
Even the Vatican has a gift shop. and it's all provided to make someone money. Jesus never profited off His knowledge and Neither did Gandhi or the Buddha.
Cheese... I read it so long ago I have forgotten it. Which means that I found it to be neither interesting nor important enough to commit any of it to memory so...

It's all a bunch of babble-crap. We make our employees read "Cheese" when their jobs get eliminated or offshored. I laugh at people who say their lives were changed after reading "Secret."
You shouldn't need to read a book to make yourself feel good.
