The Secret

Have you heard The Secret? For $30 bucks you too can learn how to have the world eating out the palm of your hands. Um, sure. Now I'm not saying that this new DVD, book and audio book is bunk but after watching the 90-minute movie, I'm not quite ready to say, "Oh my God, this changed my life!" The Secret has been touted on Oprah and in The New York Times, becoming the hottest thing to trample America since Bikram yoga and Starbucks. It's basically a glorified infomercial that drolls on and on about the Law of Attraction - like attracts like; believe that good things will happen to you, picture good things happening to you, and they will come; wealth, love, happiness, you name it. This is really nothing new nor 'revolutionary'. Peter Pan sang in 1953 "Think happy thoughts and up you go!" I'm either absolutely brilliant or totally clueless. I got The Secret's point in the first 15 minutes. Hearing personal growth experts like Joe Vitale, Bill Harris, Bob Doyle hammer home the idea that our minds create our reality was just overkill. But maybe others need to hear the same thing repeated a hundred different ways. Maybe you need examples of how to think positively. If you do, then you'll love this movie and what it just may do to your life- or at least your attitude.
