Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Secret and The ScamA friend of mine bought me this book for my birthday, explaining that it was a best selling spiritual read, so I was looking forward to what it had to say. I can honestly say I was unimpressed from the start. There was this build to this huge life changing 'secret' and it was like waiting for a huge explosion that never actually went off. This whole Secret is based on wishful, dillusional thnking. It claims that if you want to have money, believe that you will have money and it will come to you. If you want to lose weight, believe that you're losing weight and it will happen. It rarely ever mentions that you have to put work in for these things to happen. In a good way this book does allow people to focus on what they want in life ... Read More: Rating:  - Mirror, Mirror on the WallThe Secret is an outward introduction and explanation of how we think on the inside becomes what we experience on the outside, because what we think we mirror and attract. With this aim, the book hits the mark. If you are getting into personal development you will find the contents very easy to read, with superb explanations. The whole thing is gentle, encouraging, informative and uplifting. People who have advanced and aligned themselves will find it does not give any new depth of knowledge, actual practice, or reference ordinary people who have achieved true creation and expansion; I will offer this advancement to you soon. As far as the book is concerned, it is a mirror, mirror on the wall image and introduction and ... Read More: Rating: - FlawedAs much as former England football team manager Glenn Hoddle's downfall came when he blamed disability on bad karma from actions in the past life, the success of this book is pivotal on the same point? On the basis of the success of this book, was Tony Blair wrong to vehemently criticise Hoddle. Now this didn't bother me at first but the more I thought about it the more I found it hard to palette when the book talks about everything that has happened to you, you have attracted with your thoughts, including the bad things. There is nothing wrong in wanting to manifest a better life, but the elements within the book are basic. There are some rudimentary errors within the book, metaphors are incorrectly used and the author's ... Read More: Rating: - ExcellentFirst of all, I prefer the DVD to the book (I have both), but having read the previous reviews I felt compelled to write a review myself. I have been using these kind of techniques ever since I went to see Tony Robbins, but this puts it into very easy to understand principles that I use everyday. So much so that I have bought it for loads of copies of the DVD for family and friends. I should get a discount by now! The key that previous reviewers have been missing is that if you use the law of attraction ALONG with taking action, then your success will come. Positive thinking has been around for years, but this takes it to the next level i.e. visioning EXACTLY the outcome you want in any situation, and even better - write it ... Read More: Rating:  - Why The Secret is Bollocks and Rhonda Byrne writes RubbishSuccess depends on talent and hard work. The idea that things mysteriously arrive on your plate just because you want them to, is the biggest load of twaddle inflicted on vulnerable people. It is true that some people do not know how good they are. It is equally true, listening to auditions for the X factor, that the vast majority of people do not understand their limitations and as a result make a complete arse of themselves. Following this book is like listening to someone who is tone deaf singing Karoake - it doesn't work. If you have talent and if you work hard, you will succeed. If you believe that the voodoo of the universe will mysteriously make things happen, because you believe it, you are stupider than you look and ... Read More: |
