SO whats the deal with the book "The Secret"?

Question

Is it really all its cracked up to be??Should I go buy it? Or is it just a waste? Thanks

Answer 1

This is a really good question. The simple answer is YES, you should buy this book because it only costs about 20 bucks and it has an incredibly awesome message.

The reason why you might ask about why all the hype is because it makes HUGE promises.

And it is not like a science book. It says that all these miracles are possible when we change the habitual patterns of our thoughts -- well, it turns out to be VERY DIFFICULT to change the habitual patterns of our thoughts...

But the book offers a lot of interesting techniquest that help us stop our negative thinking and help us begin to think positively.

I think this book has a nice message of love and kindness to ourselves and others. It is ABSOLUTELY worth buying. Please do. Send me a message about what you think about the book. I will be curious.

Answer 2

There's one woman here in Australia claiming that Rhonda Byrne lifted much of the material from her own previously published book.

Also, much of it is based on "The Law of Attraction" by another author. Also, others have said that if you take "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale, take out the word "God" and insert "the universe" that it's practically the same book.

I will tell you honestly I have not read it, and from what I've heard about it I don't intend to. Byrne seems to be a woman out to make a buck by not siting previously published material and claiming this to be her own. I'm very much against that.

Answer 3

Just another waste of trees.

Answer 4

It's a re-telling of "Power of positive thinking."

Answer 5

go buy it and find out for yourself!

Answer 6
