Answer 5

The Secret is not real!  The real SECRET is......If you work hard, sacrifice, plan well, make wise choices, do all things in moderation, etc, etc, you will get what you want in life and be happy! You can not just sit back and wish for this!  Sorry mind over matter won't work here!

Answer 6

I believe it is.  However, some think that if you just sit back and wait all things will come to you.  I think you have to be actively seeking what it is that you want to receive it.  

For example, if I want a great partner in life I have to get out of the house once in awhile and be open to possibilities when meeting new people.  If I just sit home and keep myself closed off to new people it's going to be really hard for me to find any kind of a partner.

Answer 7

The real secret is that the book and video is making it's author rich by telling people what they want to hear. A great marketing gimmick rehashing thousands of self help books. The idea that you can visualize success is nothing new at all.

You want to feel better and be successful? Volunteer, you'll be doing good and meet like minded people. The best part about volunteering is most people end up getting more than they gave.
