Avis sur le produitThe Secret Library: The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (2006, Hardcover)

Wouldn't pay full price, but positive thinking = positive people.

Say what you want, but reinforcing "the power of positive thinking" never hurts! Yes, the ratio of original cover price to book size is ridiculous, but if you buy it at a fabulously discounted price as I did, it remains a good little "read before you go to bed a night after a rotten day" book.

We can all use a bit more positive people in this world--why not be one of them!?Lire l'avis complet...

The Secret (Of positive thinking...)

I really enjoyed the fact that the secret pushes positive thinking and takes an interest in quantam physics. The idea of everything being connected and our lives being malleable by ourselves was intriguing and thought provoking.

I'm still testing out the 'ask and ye shall receive' theory, as of yet, no unexpected money...but my whole persepective on things has brightened, become more optimistic, and I've dug myself out of the unhappiest time of my life just by using the suggestions in this book. Definitely worth buying, and a must read.Lire l'avis complet...

The Secret Book - Response to a Review

I had to comment on a review by "Taylorgardens" in which was stated:

"The idea that you only need to be clear on what you want and you will "attract" it, might be partially correct. The step following the knowing what you want is not the waiting for its appearance, as the book suggest, it is taking the actions necessary to get it. That is what the book completely ignores."

"Taylorgardens" please finish reading the book! The book does not suggest that when you know what you want, you just wait for its appearance. It does not ignore the fact that you have to take actions that would bring about what you want. For example if you want to win the lottery you just don't say "I want to win the lottery" and just sit there and wait for it. You have to go out and take the necessary actions to try to get it, i.e. concentrate on the numbers, visualize yourself as already winning the lottery and the things you would be doing with the winnings and most importantly purchase the lottery tickets. How are you suppose to win if you didn't take the action of purchasing the tickets?

Unfortunately bad things happen and like the book states the Law of Attraction doesn't distinguish between good and bad or big and small. You can attract the negative just as easily as the positive. So think twice before stating "I hope I don't get into an accident" or "I hope somebody doesn't dent my car" after buying a new car.

Another thing to think about is what Mother Theresa stated. She would not attend an "anti-war" rally but would attend a "pro-peace" rally. Do you understand the difference? "Anti-war" gives power to, acknowledges and attracts more war! Even though you think that it is a positive thing, it is actually negative.

To me the book is great and everyone can have their own opinion about it but please finish the book or at least most of it before posting a comment. "Taylorgardens" you will see that your comment quoted above is completely false.Lire l'avis complet...

The Secret

I was given this book as a gift and read it each night before going to bed. Which was a really good time to do so because then you could apply the principles as you fall asleep. This book has helped me look at life in a whole new perspective, no it didn't take GOD out of my life, it helped me realize how important God is in us. The Secret was so informative that I gave it to my boyfriend, in A.A., to read. And as he is a Sponsor, that is one of the books that he has his sponsee's read. It gives them hope again where they had lost that part of their lives due to drugs and alcohol. It gives them a reason to BELIEVE in themselves once again. I have purchased so many of these books and have handed them out to friends and family members too.
I have read many other books since and one thing that I find missing from The Secret is that you need to clear your thoughts from your past. Let go of the past and live for now. In Zero Limits, The Attractor Factor and others they help you with clearing your mind from your old beliefs. Which is one of the hardest parts of A.A. because in the meetings they are always telling you to replay that TAPE that took you to your drugs, so that hopefully by replaying that tape, they will stay away from the drugs. From what I understand, I believe it's best to wipe the slate clean and start all over doing what you now know is Right.
My suggestion... don't just read this One Book, pick another author out of it and read their other book(s) and then pick an author out of that book, etc. I now have a wonderful library of books and a new Perspective on life. You know the movie Patch Adams, where they accuse him of being "Excessively Happy" people wonder what I'm ON, because I am 99% of the time HAPPY and Enjoying Life. When people want to know who I am in the A.A. meetings.. I tell them I Am Unique, (not just a Normie) - just Unique.
Thank you for reading my review and I hope you find what you are looking for.
Believe.....

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (2006)

.......Basic, profound, by far the easiest read on the subject. If you like the movie, the book just spells out what was said, but it is great for reference to go back to often. I read something out of my copy daily to keep the momentum going. If you don't know The Secret, get it! If you do know The Secret, get it! Great to have around! By the way, The Secret is real, wether you believe it is or not! You can see how it has been in your life from day one and it really should be taken seriously, it is not some hokey idea, it is very real and can help or hurt you depending on how you use it! Hope this helps! Peace

.......I watched these people on Oprah talk about "The Secret" and how it was going to change you life and how you could get everything you every wanted after you know " the secret". Well, I hurried out and bought the book. I soon started reading it and what I read is that all I have to do is think about what I want and I will attract it! So now I am halfway through the book and I now realize that what we all want is to get something for nothing so we will buy a book that is full of such promises. It says we attract what happens to us - I don't think a victim of rape, or any other crime would agree to that. I don't think the people killed in a traffic accident would have survived had they known "The secret" either. The idea that you only need to be clear on what you want and you will "attract" it, might be partially correct. The step following the knowing what you want is not the waiting for its appearance, as the book suggest, it is taking the actions necessary to get it. That is what the book completely ignores. "The Secret" does have some very uplifting words. Like any self help book there are things to think about. But I apparntly don't get " The secret". I think everyone will agree that a good attitude in life will serve you better than a bad one...maybe that is another secret???

The Secret

A doctor recommended "The Secret" to help me get past some difficult family matters, and use positive energy to put the negative happenings behind me. It is not difficult reading, but I find that it is best to read a little at a time, and digest the material before moving on. I have not finished the book, and completely changing old habits may be easier said than done, but the ideas put forth by the writer are solid, and if I can adapt the principles outlined, it should improve my life immeasureably.Lire l'avis complet...

The Secret

I bought this book after getting a phone call from a long lost brother. It had been many years since we had talked. Tho-we never had any form of a normal relationship after we both grew older. He had told me how he read a book that changed his life. Coming from him-this is unreal! But-seeing how our realtionship is really growing into a cherished thing I decided to hurry up and jump on ebay to purchase it.
This book is really very simple but put in words in such a way that you are drawn to every page. And wonder "why-didn't I think of that?" It's a wonderfully uplifting book and has such a solid meeage in everyday life. Highly recommended for a huge variety of readers and those who don't often pick up a book. The book will give the option and the guiadance to become a more positive person. It changed many things already in my life. And it's a great character boost for anyone who needs it an uplift to enhance what many great leaders before us knew and left the 'secrets' behind to be unfolded.Lire l'avis complet...

We all use The Secret Law of Attraction

The Secret; Law of attraction is as old as mankind. We have always used it and it works all the time every time. Now you can learn and understand how to use it to create what you really, really want, rather than what you don't want.
This book is a great compliment to the DVD, which if you haven't seen yet, I suggest you do.
Learn to power up your life in all areas. Learn to be responsible for what you experience and to attract what you desire to have in your life.
Wonderful book.

Not Much of a Secret

The "Secret" about this book is that it is seriously lacking in meaningful content. If you're looking to reinforce the fundamental basics of positive thinking, you may find it here, but there are no rare secrets revealed.

It focuses on the use of visualization to have anything you desire in life, whether that be more money, a better body, or even a cure for a rare disease. Unfortunately, the book goes over the top by indicating that anyone can have anything they want in life as long as they believe that they already have it. Visualization can be helpful, but many of the ideas in this book are over the top and borderline ludicrous.Lire l'avis complet...
