How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt is an easy read and very motivational/inspiring
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2016
I bought this book yesterday and finished it this evening. It is an easy read and very motivational/inspiring. Is there anything 'new', you might ask? Probably not but the practice of the LOA is such that it helps to read about it from different perspectives, authors. Most importantly the testimonials help us realize that it is not just a how to book, but the principles in the secret, simple though they may seem do actually work and have worked for many people in all kinds of circumstances and situations. Do not be fooled or disappointed by their simplicity because my daughter and I have both used them with great success. I do not always remember to apply them and wonder why things to do not turn out and my biggest flaw has been not being persistent enough and not believing enough. I now have t remind myself that if things are not going the way we want them to, still persist and give thanks, even if we do not get what we originally requested, something better is on its way. Our personal successes include moving to the country of our dreams, and becoming citizens, a new marriage, weight loss, a new career in an in-demand field, lovely home, good health, for my daughter a full ride scholarship for her engineering degree, and now a great job in a corporate engineering in a company that is not just paying her a salary but house and board and she travels in Europe for 8 months of that 2 year contract!! So yes, I am a believer :)

Book was good but it seemed like a promotional tool for Rhonda's other books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed. Not a good book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is just not a good book. Shame on you Rhonda Byrne. I am sure, in fact I KNOW there are countless people whose lives have been transformed as a result of the teachings of the Secret. There was so much potential here. But it's shoddily conceived and written and there is no detail or even anything "interesting" here. Don't bother. There are testimonials on the Secret.tv website that are more interesting and they are free.

1.0 out of 5 stars Try THIS Experiment
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2018
As a means of proof regarding the absurdity of the "law" and / or "science" regarding "The Secret" / "Law of Attraction", I would earnestly suggest the following experiment.

Buy a copy of "The Secret" (both the movie and book).

Thoroughly read through the book (several times) - and watch the movie (repeatedly).

Then buy and (repeatedly) read this book (How The Secret Changed My Life: Real People. Real Stories)

Then, tell yourself that you CAN fly.

Repeatedly BELIEVE that you can fly.

CONVINCE yourself mentally that, yes, YOU can fly.

Picture yourself actually FLYING through the air.

Do this for several months (say about six or so).

Then place your book copy of "The Secret" in a secure pocket. Then place your book copy of "How The Secret Changed My Life: Real People. Real Stories" in another secure pocket.

Then transport yourself to the highest accessible and vertical point (tall building, cliff, bridge, whatever) in your area...

And, then, jump.

The "ancient science" of "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" should then provide all the evidence that the rest of us would ever need.

3.0 out of 5 stars Motivated me to pull out my original copy of The Secret and reread it.
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016
3.5 It is always inspiring to hear stories from "real" people.
Most of these collected letters were motivating and encouraging, reinforcing the steps promoted by the book and video The Secret and it's successors.
I found one particular letter near the end to be disturbing and over the top.

While reading this book I kept comparing it to the Chicken Soup phenomenon.
People appreciate being able to reach out to authors who help them feel better.
They also like being to share their progress and success with others.

I liked the way this book was organized and the illustrated (verbally) successes related back to the principle. The original book tended to be controversial, many saying it was too simple.
I enjoyed hearing about people who chose to believe and act on their goals.

I was allowed to read this book for review through Netgalley.
It motivates me to pull out my original copy of The Secret and reread it.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'M PRETTY SORRY
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016
I'M PRETTY SORRY for the one star; BUT to have an authentic opposite pole it's only fair.

I have read THE SECRET, THE MAGIC, THE POWER, HERO and also THE DAILY TEACHING,
even THE SECRET TO TEEN POWER.

This latest book is not REALLY bad, but also not really good.

The stories in it are often just to RANDOM to be really inspiring
(Maybe it's just because they are all very "cut short" ?)

Just to prevent you from being disappointed I write this review.

Please just do not expect something as valuable as some of the books before.

If you buy it and it's good for you; IT'S GOOD FOR YOU :)
But to me it was kind of a disappointment in comparison to the other books.
