Let me revel “The Secret” to you!

I’ve been so much influenced by one positive-thinking book, “Think and Grow Rich”, back in the days, that I wanted to read “The Secret”, the updated standard bearer of that life philosophy. 

From the get go, the fancy presentation of the book, its questionable rooster of so-called experts, as well as the professed belief that eyesight or health problems could easily be fixed by the “Law of Attraction”, rang warning bells in my mind! 

In fact, the few good advice contained in the book could be dispensed by a short, 25 page outline, and the rest is all marketing fluff, feel-good prose and borderline fraudulent. 

And where is the “secret” in all this? The good advice is just common sense and isn’t locked inside some remote vault! 

This book is totally forgettable and some research on Wikipedia about Positive Thinking, or the New Thought Movement, and its beneficial effects as well as its pitfalls might be a good alternative primer...
