The worldwide bestselling phenomenon that has helped millions tap the power of the law that governs all our lives to create—intentionally and effortlessly—a joyful life.

In 2006, a groundbreaking feature-length film revealed the great mystery of the universe—The Secret—and, later that year, Rhonda Byrne followed with a book that became a worldwide bestseller.

Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions, and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.

In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life—money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.

The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers—men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.

About the Author

Rhonda Byrne is the creator behind The Secret, a documentary film that swept the world in 2006, changing millions of lives and igniting a global movement. Later that same year, Rhonda’s book of The Secret was released. It has been translated into more than fifty languages and remains one of the longest-running bestsellers of all time. Rhonda has written four more bestselling books: The Power in 2010, The Magic in 2012, Hero in 2013, and The Greatest Secret in 2020.

From Publishers Weekly

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 organization—techniques 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.

From AudioFile

Audio seems like the natural medium for Rhonda Byrne's blockbuster motivational book on positive thought for positive results. The Australian TV producer leads listeners through her exposition on the secret of life. Quoting from an array of New Age gurus and interpreting more traditional teachers as well, the program integrates sound bites from the various authors, with actors taking many of the roles. Neale Donald Walsh, Denis Waitley, Jack Canfield, and dozens of others make cameo comments throughout the program. Byrne's slightly whispery, intimate voice calling the listener to believe alternates with hyped "you-can-do-it" encouragement from speakers like Bob Proctor. Kudos goes to the production team that integrated the dozens of speakers--some just introducing who will speak next. The resulting audio keeps a rapid pace hop-skipping along to support Byrne's premise of the essential "Law of Attraction."

From the Publisher

The Secret is truly the most outstanding book to date that we have published. I am so pleased that Rhonda Byrne was able to bring together this life-changing information so masterfully. She first did it for the movie of the same name that she produced, which has been a phenomenon in its own right. She then added, in only ones month's time, incredible additional content to the transcript of the film that brings even more clarity to the reader. This is absolutely a book that people from all walks of life can read and then "get" the concept of The Secret. It allows them to then take it and apply it to their lives. Children, teenagers and adults of all ages are reporting miraculous stories of positive changes as a result. Rhonda Byrne is dedicated to maintaining the integrity of The Secret and to making sure that now, finally, the whole world knows about The Secret. You will want to share this with your friends and family and they will be grateful for it. This book gives hope for what many have been waiting for-- a shift in the way the world thinks. Its a very exciting time that we are living in, and I as well as everyone at Beyond Words and Atria Books are grateful to be a part of it.

While positive thinking and believing in yourself/health/happiness/goals/and dreams are indeed important, I was thoroughly irritated by this book. To sum it all up it’s focuses on “thinking” about something consistently and passionately enough to bring that desired thing into fruition. That’s like telling a starving family in a third world country to “think” about food long enough and the universe will provide it.

Life Changing Book

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

I read this about 10 years ago when it was first released. It was interesting but I put it away and didn't think of it again until recently. Many changes happened in my life over the past ten years. My father suffered a long illness and passed. My mother has been ill. I too became ill, I believe to be caused by stress. These events were definitely life changing. I saw the book and decided to read it again. I think I was at a stage in my life that I could truly appreciate this book more. I can honestly say it has made a significant impact on the way I live my life. I am now reading another book in the series and am applying it every day. I am happier than I have ever been. I highly recommend these books.

Greed gets a mystical makeover

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

O watched the film version on Netflix and thought the book would delve more deeply into the law of attraction. Turns out the entire franchise is nothing more than a brilliant marketing campaign. I will definitely give them that. After the book, all I was left with was the sad realization that the Law of attraction really is just that: a mystical makeover for greed. If you just concentrate hard enough in the shiny material things you want, they'll magically and effortlessly gravitate to you... Somehow!

Not a "secret", but inspiring nonetheless!

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I put off reading this book for years, convinced there was no "secret", but probably something already revealed in the Scriptures. I was right about the latter, but wrong to have delayed in reading it. As I read, I took notes of where the message was also recorded in the Scriptures. It was a wonderful way of reinforcing what I had known and convinced me to do a better job of living out the Scriptures. I needed this and now was the best time to dive in and embrace this reminder that my life was missing my participation. I had been a mere reader and not a doer. Christ was beckoning me to "only believe" and He sent Rhonda Byrne and "The Secret" to shake me from my slumber and reignite my fire for an abundant life. I've got the message, loud and clear; and I'm grateFULL!

Can be summed up in 2 words “think positive” or “be happy”. It lost all credibility when it said multiple times that the secret works EVERY TIME for EVERYONE and thus if it doesn’t it’s because you’re not BELIEVING in the Secret enough.

The secret changed my life in 3 days, from being totally and utterly involved with negativity about the cards life dealt me, I was changed to believing in myself, being positive and fulfilled. I always knew that life held more in store for me, I just did not understand what. As I sit here today, this is the second time in my life that i was reduced from riches to dirt poor. This time the failure knocked me spiritually into a mode which was self destructive. How to recover was the question, how do I lift myself out of this mess. I read the secret, and I can tell you this without hesitation, failure is only in the mind. I feel ready to take the world on and collect what is mine!!!

Really makes you look at how you see the world

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2018

When I first heard about this, I wasn't sure what to think. It sounded a little hokey, to be honest, but then I started reading it and that changed. This book makes you really look at how you see the world and your thoughts about it. You really can change everything. If you're floundering or struggling, read this book. Seriously, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

The Secret to the universe is the law of attraction. This means that whatever you think about will manifest.

There are many holes in the theory behind The Secret. The first being that Byrne fails to address opposing wills. Imagine a woman excited for a ‘girls night out’ evening with her friends. Throughout the week she has been thinking positive thoughts about the outing and how well it will go and how relaxing it will be after a tough week at work. Now, imagine a sexual predator whose hunting ground is the bar where our imaginary woman is meeting her friends. This sexual predator has been imagining throughout the week how he will drug and attack a woman and get away with it. Unfortunately for our imaginary woman she falls prey to the sexual predator. According to The Secret this would have happened because our imaginary woman did not think enough positive thoughts about the outing and even subconsciously could have been attracting the attack towards her by packing pepper spray in her handbag. Seriously. In chapter two we are told all the terrible historic events we can think of happened because all the victims were somehow vibrating on the same negative frequency.

Let that sink in.

Another thing Byrne and her cohorts fail to consider is the benefits of endurance in the face of obstacles. According to The Secret anything that you do that feels difficult is a sign you are operating against the natural flow of the universe. Imagine if JK Rowling (pre-cancel culture) had believed in The Secret? She would have given up after her 12th rejection by a publisher and would be a billion dollars poorer today.

Maybe I’m being a Negative Nelly. Maybe we should eliminate the existence of opposing wills and obstacles. Fine. Let’s do that. Imagine a couple who believes they will have children. Even before they met each other and got married they would imagine their future family. Unfortunately for this couple unassisted pregnancy is not a viable option and they must consider IVF. Why did this happen? Why did decades of imagining cute children not result in an easier fertility journey? Anyway, our imaginary couple can afford IVF. There are no financial obstacles. Their doctor is positive (emphasis on positive) about their chances about conceiving in this manner and is eager to add yet another glowing testimonial to the clinic’s website. Still, our imaginary couple fails to conceive. Why did this happen? Why did the addition of a third positive person and enduring belief of our imaginary couple not result in successful conception? What would Byrne and her cohorts say to this couple?

In addition to my arguments above, there are other problems with this book. It’s just one long collection of repetitive quotes. I also suggest that if you have any type of religious inclination that you avoid this book. It also contains purposeful distortions of Christian scripture which are not only deliberately misleading but that also make no sense. How does any self-respecting philosopher (I imagine this is how Byrne markets herself) quote a text in one sentence only to contradict it in the next all the while claiming to support the text they quoted? I’m speaking specifically about her interpretation of Mark 11:24 which reads,”So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Byrne conveniently sums this up as ask, believe, receive but goes on to explain that you are asking the benevolent Universe for abundance and believe that You are the creator of all that flows to you and receive all You wish. Other than the fact that Christians believe in a benevolent God that is the creator of all why on earth would You as ultimate creator (according to Byrne) need any type of help from any thing, even the Universe?

Lol. I can’t. I don’t even have the energy to sum up this review neatly. Just don’t buy this book.

This really is the biggest load of rubbish I've ever read. To suggest that everything that has happened to us in our life is something that we have unwittingly attracted to ourselves. And the bit about there being no such thing as an incurable illness. Save your money, don't waste it on this tosh.

Keeps you positive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2019

All my life I have struggled to hold a job, keep a woman and to gain friendships. I have autism and so I was an easy target for bullies of both genders not just at school, but also in the Workplace. I simply did not fit in and still don't fit in anywhere.

So I got this book and now I am trying to apply what it says to my life. I don't want millions of pounds or anything fancy, but I do want what everyone else has a loving Wife, Car, and Home to call my own.

These I believe by the scope of this book are achievable and realistic goals that I am setting myself. So it remains to be seen if this book truly can do what it says it can.

After reading a couple of chapters so far all I can see is a brilliant book to teach you how to feel good in yourself. To make yourself feel happy even when sad and depressed. That alone is worth more than any amount of millions. There are plenty of millionaires that are not happy at all and struggled to make more millions which in turn makes them just as miserable.

This book teaches you how to look at your emotions and thoughts and feelings and change your thinking to a better place. If you are looking for a load of quick results then don't bother. This book will teach you how to make yourself feel good about yourself and in turn, attract good things to you, but remember good things come to those who wait. If you cant then you won't get.

As books go this is old news now, but I got it for 6 pounds second hand, hardback and in good condition. For me, it is not worth the 14 pounds brand new price, but each to their own. There are many different books since using the same techniques, but with clearer examples.

If you expect to become a rich person after this book, then you may become one, but remember as the book says you need to really believe you already have the money and already are rich.

I will update this if my life changes and I do get a job and get a nice woman in my life. I will update this if I do get that house and what every average person has. I will not set a time limit, but as I reach my goals I will update this review.

REPETITIVE- DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE AWAKEN( CONSCIOUS ) CAUSE IT WILL INSTANTLY FEEL LIKE BULLS***! !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

The book is very basic.
Is a continuous repetition that if you think good, good will come to you.
The concept is fine.
What is worrying is that the author has the cheek to say that everything that happens to people in life is a consequence of their own thoughts, without considering social-economical situations of the subjects. So if a child is hit by a bomb in a war country that means the child has been sending out to the university this idea ? And his mother is guilty of thinking the same for her child and so her suffering is a consequence of her thoughts?

I worked in a casino, I know how bad addicts wish to be millionairse and pray and continuously think about winning ? Do they win ? Nope more like ending selling their wife's jewellery !

This book avoids the concept of PURE INTENTIONS- EGO and KARMA.
