I liked the DVD much better than the book. The DVD was totally positive, but like Ms. Boyer, I found some of the books comments made my energy take a dive. Here is why: Ms. Byrne says that those of us who suffer weather disasters have created the disaster or adversity. Like the power of certain prayers, some things happen because of energies that have been invested far longer than the span of one life. When you move into a disaster prone area you encounter "risk energy" that may have existed for hundreds of years. If Ms Byrne thinks she is stronger than this energy and can stop future storms from entering New Orleans, let me be the first to invite her to live here....Keeping one author in a swank French Quarter apartment (untouched by flood waters) has to be cheaper than the millions we are spending to rebuild the levee system. Even though I don't agree with Ms Byrne I would sooner trust her to protect the city than the government engineers who sat clueless for two weeks while my apartment slowly dissolved under 11 feet of water. I also share Ms Boyer's dislike of Ms. Byrne's comments about turning your back on "fat" people (or anyone else). The book assumes that everyone who wants to can access good feelings at a moments notice and encourages you to shun people who don't fit your physical or emotional ideal. For many people, especially those from emotionally or financially impoverished backgrounds, feelings of abundance and self-worth can be impossible to access. A few years ago I encountered a book by the social psychologist William Swann. His studies on the affect that self-esteem has on what you attract into your life make very interesting reading that is closely related to the topics discussed here. While forgetting the past is not that hard, creating a feeling that you didn't have while growing up is nearly impossible for most people. Yes, we do hear of rags to riches stories, but they almost always involve a pivotal personal encounter. Perhaps there is a reason that this information has been kept a secret for so long. Maybe that reason is that too many people would have used the knowledge to abandon the sick, dying, and less fortunate and spend their time generating new toys and bigger and bigger houses. Religion has often existed to remind people that they should be grateful for not having adversity. If you can wish it away, why bother with those who can't? This whole scenario reminds me of the creation story told by the psychic, Edgar Cayce, many decades ago. He said that man was an angel who created matter as a plaything and became encased in it because he forgot his divinity. I see no spiritual problem with having it all, but that can and should include kindness and compassion toward everyone.Read full review
I was raised on The Power of Positive Thinking books by Norman Vincent Peale back in the 60s and 70s. I keep his books on my shelf to refer to when things are going not going the way I would like. I have always believed that our thoughts are things and like attracts like. Think positive, attract positive. When I heard about this book, The Secret, I did not bother to read it until I found it at a yard sale last month. I figured it was a regurgitation of the same information on positive thinking and visualization that I had grown up on. Same thing, fancier package. I am now glad I bought and read the book. It is written in a easy to reference style that makes it easy to focus on the problem you are interested in at the moment.... Money, health, whatever. I like that the author refers to several authors, doctors , scientists and a big variety of people to write their thoughts on a particular subject. It gives you different perspectives and different methods and reasoning to ponder. All in all , nothing helps life go easier than a good attitude. That's exactly what this book promotes. Sure can't hurt! I say buy it, keep it handy and try it! Your life just might go in a better direction! It is NOT a new concept by any means, but it makes for a really good reminder. Don't forget to click the YES button below ....YES is a positive and like attracts like, you know! THANKSRead full review
This book gives you a different view on life. Its all the things you already know and/or felt but brings it to reality. The book is also a mood booster; this book helped me to remember all of the blessings in my life instead of focusing on the negatives. Info in this book comes from some of the most successful people of all time, and is so uplifting and empowering that it can't be bad. Maintaining and practicing the advise is not as easy as it sounds, and it does take constant work and vigilance. Often, we do actually enjoy our self created misery, misery that it is difficult to give up. Our complaining and whining and self sacrificing have become our friends, our comfort our "safe place" that it's hard to say good bye. This book will help you break those bonds to unhealthy relationships. To let go of self destructive thoughts and attitudes. To say it's a good thing to be "healthy, wealthy and wise." It was meant to be and this book illustrates it well. Don't let the cover and "fussiness" get in the way of the message. No hocus-pocus, voodoo here. Just common sense, when you think about it. I found the best deal on this book here: http://www.buzzillions.com/prd-329101-the-secret-reviews/?prRo=20 so I was able to buy multiple copies for family and friends. :)Read full review
