I got this book before Oprah was raving about it.  It souds strange but the ideas in it really do produce results in your life.  You don't have to know or understand how or why it works, but if you just practice the principles in the book, you will see results. You don't have to… read full review »

Lord help us. Another book about self esteem and having a positive out look on life. Yeah, Yeah..we have heard it all before. what is this the millionth book saying the same old thing? What is the world coming to when we have books that are remakes of what was popular 20 years ago. Does anyone out… read full review »

I am not always a fan of Oprah's picks for her book club.  And I am especially not into Self-help books; however, after reading The Secret, I can see where I DO have all the power to change my outcome.  Simply reading it is not enough, so I would like to challenge everyone to read only the first few chapters and put it into action.  Don't buy the book, borrow from a friend until you are certain that this is what you are looking for.  You will be just as surprised as I was of the difference in the way you perceive yourself and others.  Simply reading about the Law of… read full review »

The Secret is a book on tape that is absolutely wonderful.  It will give you valuable information to change your life, I know it has changed mine.  "The Secret" is also a movie, which I have not seen, but plan to soon.  — "The Secret" discusses positive thinking and the law of attraction.  It gives you simple tools to make your life what you truly want it to be.  There are quotes from many very successful and respected people.  —… read full review »

I read this book based on rave reviews from a number of people.  I could barely force myself to finish the book.  It's not well-written.  The author seems to have simply taken a bunch of quotes from other people and strung them together by reiterating what the quoted person just said.  I understand that positive thinking is a good thing but I don't believe that negative thinking in and of itself is the cause of some of my medical problems. — … read full review »

This book amazed me because it actually makes you look inside yourself to see how grateful you are, because many people are not as fortunate as some of us and to give thanks for what we have and to help out others who are in need.  This book is a must read if you are trying to understand what the universe can offer you.  Once you read the Secret you will know that you had the secret all this time and didn't even know it. — —… read full review »

This book is surely another book on positive thinking - but that doesn't make it a bad book. I wish I had thought of the idea!  I really enjoyed the book and thought it made some good points about how our negative thinking influence's our lives - Sure you've heard it before, but how often do you let one little bad moment ruin your whole day? Practicing postive thinking really does make you a more postive person… read full review »

I heard this on audio book and didn't even finish it.  Though there were points in it to be made, I felt like the author kept beating a dead horse and her voice turned me off enough to finally cry "uncle".  Another book on the "Power of Positive Thinking"  only done very… read full review »

This book was recommended to me by a friend.  Once I picked it up I started practicing the techniques.  The text was so strong I re-read it over and over.  It is the best book of optimism and self fulfillment I have ever found.  The secret should be shared with… read full review »
