i just got the book "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne and was wondering what others thought of it?
Posted by Category: UncategorizedDid it change any aspect of your life?
Is it worth reading?
I read the book first and loved it. Then I watched the DVD and it gave me a chance to further anchor the ideas and to see the teachers who are in the book. Seeing them and hearing their voices helped me remember and apply what I had learned in the book.
Some people are too critical and too hard on this book. What's wrong with thinking love instead of hate, abundance instead of lack, and working proactively instead of being against everything? The people who react so negatively to the concepts in this book are precisely the people who need it the most! The information in the book is only as good as the effort you use to apply it. If you're skeptical and critical, sure–it isn't going to work for you–only against you!
Rhonda Byrne comes right out and lists many of the people through the ages who knew "The Secret" which is really the Law of Attraction. She never maintains that "The Secret" is something she invented or made up. The Law of Attraction has biblical origins. The reason it's called "The Secret" isn't because it is the "shhhh!" kind of secret, but because the Law of Attraction is the secret to living happily and with an abundance of good things of many kinds.
This book is definitely worth reading. This book is very inspirational, positive, and uplifting–an easy read for the most part. You dont realize how powerful your thoughts are until you read this book

I didn't read it but I must tell you that the art director of the book at Simon and Schuster finally read it after printing so many copies and thought it was bonkers. Its really an uncredited rewriting of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich of 1937. Its the kind of book people cling to in bad economic times. Sorry but reality is a better way to live.
