Usually ships in 1 business days | | | Supporters will hail this New Age self-help book on the law of attraction as a groundbreaking and life-changing work, finding validation in its thesis that one's positive thoughts are powerful magnets that attract wealth, health, happiness... and did we mention wealth? Detractors will be appalled by this as well as when the book argues that fleeting negative thoughts are powerful enough to create terminal illness, poverty and even widespread disasters. The audio version of this controversial book, read by Byrne and contributing authors such as John Gray and Neale Donald Walsch, is uneven at best. The cheesy, obvious sound effects will not do much to add intellectual respectability to a work that has been widely denounced as pseudoscience. Mostly, this audio is hampered by its confusing and disjointed organizationâtechniques that worked reasonably well in the print version and the movie, such as cutting every few seconds from one enthusiastic expert to another, make for a choppy and somewhat bewildering listening experience. The gentle cadences of Rhonda Byrne's breathy, Aussie-infused voice are certainly the best part of the audio, but her material is scarce and provides mostly connective tissue between the testimonials.

 There is nothing new about this book Sep 03, 2008
I was hoping this book would totally WOW me since I have read great reviews about it. Most of the things you will find here are things you already know, things you could read anywhere (an inspirational quote in a bookmark). I'm glad I didn't spend a lot on this book. I was bored and uninspired.
 A real Treasure Sep 02, 2008
This is a great product. You can give it as a gift, keep it to be past on to your children and so forth. It is a very inspiring item. I can account for many of the things in there. A must buy.
Powerful message that all could use! Sep 01, 2008
I've seen the DVD version of THE SECRET, but had never actually
read the book (with the same title) by Rhonda Byrne.
So I was delighted to be able to listen to the above when a friend
lent me her CD tapes . . . if you're not familiar with the premise,
it is about something called the Law of Attraction . . . in essence, it says
like attracts like . . . you can get anything in life you want if you are open
to receiving it in a positive fashion . . . the key is to avoid negativity.
When reading or listening to the book, you may not think there's much
to it . .. the same message seems to keep repeating itself . . . and
though there's an impressive list of authors/consultants who are
cited (among them Jack Canfield, John Gray, Bob Proctor, and
Rev. Michael Beckwith), what they have to say at times comes
across a bit choppy.
However, I carp . . . let me instead share just a few of the powerful
Insights that I gained from listening to THE SECRET:
* Whatever thought is in your mind, you're attracted to it.
* See yourself living in abundance, and you will attract it.
* What you think about most will appear as your life.
* It's impossible to be feeling bad and having good thoughts at the
same time.
* If you praise and bless your enemies, you will feel your attitudes shifting.
* We'll never run out of things because life is me ant to be abundant.
And this one that I've been thinking about ever since I finished
THE SECRET:
* You are not your past. Whenever I reflect on book long after I've finished it, I know that's a winner for me . . . that's the case with what Byrne had to write; I still find myself thinking about it even as I type this review!
thought provoking Aug 31, 2008
Audio CD is easy to listen to. Ms. Byrne has a perfect voice to carry the message across.
Proud to be on "The Secret" bandwagon... Aug 30, 2008
I was skeptical about this for many months with all the hype about it. After hearing numerous friends & associates recommend it, I finally caved and sure glad I did. This books is wonderful with helping you refocus your energy/dreams into what you desire. I will continue to recommend it to friends, family & business associates. Happy to have joined "The Secret" bandwagon. LOL
