Has anyone done the self help series "The Secret" and, if so, had any results?

Question

I know Oprah did a thing on "the Secret" book and DVD. I watched the DVD. Has anyone done it and has it worked or not? THANKS!

Answer 1

The reason why many experts (link 1) DISLIKE "The Secret" is that if you ascribe to the philosophy therein, anything that happens is your fault.

Raped as a child? Your own bad thinking caused it. Country destroyed by invaders? If only you had been thinking happier thoughts. Too bad. Got the cancer? Well... you know who to blame.

While it would be nice if thinking about things could magically cause them to happen, "The Secret" won't even let you take a fair look at how it works, because if you ever DOUBT the author, then you will CREATE that instead.

Anyone who requires you to believe them BEFORE you can get results (or even see them in other people) simply has no results to offer. Sorry.

Answer 2

I am reading the book right now, but so far it hasn't done anything for me, yet... I mean it didn't really change my way of thinking and i'm not sure if it actually will.... I'll finish reading it though... we'll see!!!
