Have you heard of "the Secret"?

Question

what are your thoughts on this theory?

Answer 1

Yes - I've heard of 'The Secret' It is a sales gimmick

Answer 2

Yes.  And I know what it is.

Answer 3

It is a fraud. It doesn't work. The entire movie and book was linked up with a dude making cd's that are supposed to hypnotize you into doing good. Neither the book, movie or cd's work. I have been told by many who spent hundreds on the cd's, movie, classes and books that they got screwed on it all.

Answer 4

I have not read it but it probably has some truth to it but it would not replace my bible . Positive thinking is good . Having hope is good.It sound like an interesting book anyway.

Answer 5

"The Secret" is hardly a secret.

This is a personal motivational technique of visualization and the gaining of a new perspective on your life, as well as increasing your personal awareness and exercising conscious control over the choices that you make.

If, for instance, you want to be wealthy, you make decisions that will lead you to that wealth. Or if you want to meet someone in particular, you answer their questions on Y!A.

Simple isn't it?  

Answer 6

hear what we want to here... now be sensible... there is some truth to your fiction and some fiction to your truth... finds it to be misleading and deceitful but we hold our self to a high standard of these things...

Answer 7

I took the courses and everything and my conclusion is that it is only made for a select group of people who have lived a padded life, have never had depression, never had hardship, and can make their brain think correctly so that they are not self destructive.

I have asked numerous individuals about their theory on it, and they all agree that it didn't work for them.

Law of attraction only works for large bodies of gravity that can attract.

Law of attraction is contradictory to the nature of a human body. The human body has a certain electrical makeup that works with a difference science, not with the law of attraction. It is more on the magnet side, where the frequency has to be just right in order to attract, otherwise it will repel things. Learning that electrical makeup for the body is not something the secret teaches. It is simply going on the basis of gravity. Gravity pulls us, it doesn't exist within us to a degree that would overcome or even slightly mask the magnetism that we carry in order for it to properly work.

Answer 8

Answer 10

I did read it and at first I tried to live by it.  It's been over a year now so I really need to dig in again.  It's a good book to keep with you at all times.

Answer 11

It's stupid.

Answer 12

I like the theory and it's true because Einstein proved that the law of attraction is real.

Answer 13

It's no "Secret"

Like attracts like , that is all.

The producer made millions out of an open secret cos people are crazy  

Answer 14

Yes, and it was never a secret.  The Law of Attraction is real, imo, but many people leave out what I call the God-factor and mistakenly believe that they can order or re-order the Universe using the Law of Attraction.  I have manifested many positive things in my life using the Law of Attraction, except for those things that are not meant to be, or at least not yet.

Answer 15

Answer 16
