Some truths, but too fictional for reality - By: M. Nebiyou, 21 Jul 2008 
I first watched the dvd, which contains the same contents of the book about 6months ago, just watched it again, & this is my review, Starting with the good.
The Secret contains some truths & good Tips on Attracting what a person wants. Quotes like 'Creation happens from toughts, thoughts manifest into actions' is very true as every amazing & successful things we have with us today like the aeroplane, computer, architecture alll manifested from someone's thought,
'Feelings are feedback mechanism of whether we are on track' also very true but simple as if u feel sick or feel sick, feel high/drunk i guess thats your body giving you feedback right,
'simple shifting of emotions can change your day' true, 'be gratefull for what you have, & you attract more of what you want' also very true,
'whatever the mind of man can achieve, it can concieve', 'Believe you can have it, Believe you deserve it, believe you will get it' very true as if you dont feel+believe you deserve happiness, health, wealth, you won't get it,
'Look for positives for the people in your life' very true for family/relationship issues, but it depends on peoples past & present actions &
'inner happiness is the fuel of success' as inner happiness helps combat the feeling of hate & rejection that someone may through at you in your life. All this are quotes that I believe in & can impower life.
however, The secret states that law of attraction attracts like for like, & they claim that
'if you want to get out of debt, dont think of debt' is not something I recommend as those who hide or deny the truth can find themselves deeper in it.
Also 'when you look at what is, you are attracting what is, & you recieve what is' can be decieving as those who have been looking at beautiful things are asking themselves why they haven't got it,
'when you see something you want, you are attracting law of attraction & it results in LOA delievering on that' very similar to previous &
'The creative process Ask, Answer, Recieve, can work but can be catastrophic for those it doesn't work for.
Some inspiring stories including the man who crashes his aeroplane, 'Morris E Goodman' who defied alll odds after plane crash. I credit this too the will & believe this man had.
The cancer women is also inspiring, but also happiness & belief eased pressure of her body & helped her defeat her dis-ease right.
The next two stories & the messages directed to the viewer about 'the gratitude rock' & 'the gay man' I find a bit worrying.
The gratitude rock story is about a man who see's his friend carry a gratitude rock. the message sent is saying when the mans child got sick, he asked his friend to send him a gratitude rock & his son got better. I would be carefull & say it was probably the doctors work that got this child better.
Also the story of the gay man, who was getting bullied, harrased anf finding no happiness in his life. suddenly he started to use LOA to attract wat he wants & the people in his work left him alone or left the company, people harrasing him weren't there no more & so on. I would say that it is good this man found happiness in his life, but we don't have power, especiallly of others actions & if some one is suffereing similar problems, i would recommend self confidence to combat hatred, but just focusing on what you want doesn't just make peoples problem go away.
Finallly I am going to tell you about the ones I find disturbing. First is the one from Dr Joe Vitale who says everything that happens, we attract. I sincerley hope he is talking about the well off, becuuse if he isn't, he is saying the poor attracted poor to themselves, the ones living with poverty attracted poverty to themselves, the ones with dis-ease(even those born with one), attracted it to themselves, the ones living in warfare attracted it to themselves & so on.
The attack on the Anti-war movement is also worrying. they say if you are anti-way, anti-terrorism, ant-poverty & so on, you attract more of it. I disagree highly with this, & i am a firm believer that if it wasn't for the american civil war for abolitionism, or the war against hitler, or even the anti-war, anti-medicine movements & actions, we would be living in a different world. Also without organisations monitoring everything that occurs, from police brutality, torture & so on, we would be more in dark about the secretive world we live in, than we already are.
Well essentiallly, being a firm believer of success breeds success, & also LOA, i like some of the secret. but it has to be taken with a real perspective. this book, cd, dvd isn't going to change alll of us, but using what works for us, we can use parts of it to change our lives.
However, i predict we still face problems we faced yesterday, & will face similar problems tommorrow & the secret isn't going to change society & everybody as a whole.
the secret may not be perfect, but.... - By: isla, 15 Jul 2008 
... my own, personal experience of The Secret? Successful, verging on miraculous!
My husband bought me the "talking-book" version for Christmas. Although we were generallly happy with our lives, there were some things that hadn't worked out the way we'd hoped. The biggest of these, our apparent inability - after 8 years of trying - to have a family together. I even wrote a book - Pink for a Girl - about our experience of unexplained infertility.
After listening to "The Secret" several times, I decided to give it a go. In the back of my journal, I wrote down a number of things that I wanted in 2008. And, of course, one of the things that I included was "to give birth to a happy, healthy, perfect child". And....?
I'm expecting our first baby at the end of December!!!!
Have fun with "The Secret". I hope it brings you happiness.
PS: Now, I just want my own book to become as successful as "The Secret"!!!!
Pink for a Girl: What Happens When Getting Pregnant Doesn't
So what's the big Secret? - By: A. S. Griffiths, 11 Jul 2008 
I was given this trash as a 'gift' & sent it straight to the local jumble sale. I can't stomach the shocking emphasis on 'getting what you want' & materialistic nonsense. I'm a Christian but even if I were not, I'd still find this rubbish an absolute joke.
The big secret is that some fools actuallly believe this junk & are willing to part with their cash in their stupidity.
Where was the voice of reason? - By: Ran, 11 Jul 2008 Embarrassed & angry with myself that I gave in to the hype & bought the "dummy". Now that the general public have read this book, there is a lot of balanced feedback; but, where was the voice of reason among the early reviewers / journalists who hyped it up, too much! This has to be one of the purchases that I regret to this day & honestly feel "mugged"!
Amazon, bring "look inside" / "listen to a sample" for the audio version for alll books, please!
All things in moderation .... better with Napoleon Hill for sure - By: Mr. S. Khaliq, 26 Jun 2008 
I enjoyed this book when I read it & have given copies to friends & family to read. Take out the nonsense areas like its alll your fault when something major goes wrong .... scary statement indeed, & some of it makes sense. You can have so much more in life & alll it takes is focus & belief ... if you can truly beleive it, you can acheive it. So much of this is taken out of context & without the incredible power that comes from the great master himself Napoleon Hill. I would urge you to read or listen to the 6 set cd series by napeleon hill ... Tony Robins & so many others have learnt & preach his teachings from almost 100 years ago ... it is the real thing !! The Science of Personal Acheivement. Its callled. Its the real Mccoy. Rhoda & some great gurus of today seem to have taken what he has said alll that time ago & paraphrased it. Hope you enjoy it !! Its also downloadable if you look around.
