by Rhonda Byrne
9012 members / 0 friends / 64 groups / 605 reviews / 209 tags
Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.
In this book, you'll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life -- money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You'll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that's within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.
The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers -- men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.

    the thing with natural disasters is..anyone who is positive will look for the positive in anything..even a natural disaster. They will keep their chin up and look on the bright side, and in doing so they will help others and their positivity will attract themselves to better circumstances. But it is what is on the inside - your thoughts and feelings that counts the most. Thinking in this way will naturally cause you to make it easier to act and effect change. I think this book didn't explain it too well, it made it seem like it was magic, which it isn't. Better books to read on the same topic are 'the law of attraction' by Esther and Jerry Hicks or 'the power of intention' by Wayne Dyer.

    While I found the OVERALL message of this book inspiring, I agree with some of the other comments here that you cannot attribute "natural disasters" simply to the fact that the people living there has a certain "mindset". However, I do feel that this world could use a lot more "positive" thoughts out there. Whether it will make you a millionaire is not the point. The point is simply that thinking positively puts you in a whole different frame of mind and that in turn can open doors to you. It is much easier to be with people who are happy and having fun and I have found that most truly successful people are the ones that always seem to find something good about any situation.

    I found this book too simplistic and gimmiky...it was very difficult to finish it and in the end I felt a bit sick rather than motivated. Kissing your bills will not get rid of them, positive thinking is great but you do have to actually go out there and do something...thinking alone won't get you anywhere.

    Well, yeah. I believe that it should be read by people. Believing in positive thinking won't harm anybody. Plus, it helps or may help one to have more positive outlook or perspective in life. It's just that, always thinking and talking about it would actually make one look sort of crazy. The fun and best part is thnking and acting like a millionaire. In layman's term, if positive thinking is not yet for the lay, it's simply, dreaming-dreaming things to become true in the near future. Happy reading
