Life Changing Book

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018

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.

Omg, just NO

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2019

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.

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 8, 2018

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!

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 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!!!

Don’t buy

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.

Try it. What do you have to lose?

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2016

When I first began to read this book I honestly thought it was a crock and a waste of my time and money. I started with an expectation of what I thought the book was about and the style of writing that I should expect. When I initially disagreed with one of the authors viewpoint with in the book and scrutinized another's personal life through research I was almost stop reading, but I decided to continue reading anyway. I made a wise decision to.

I had heard about the law of attraction before, but never took the time to investigate what it truly meant. As the book unraveled and began to reveal "The Secret," and how to apply it into my life immediately, I allowed myself to be open in receiving whatever insight I could in order to help me overcome several difficulties in my life and achieve a better quality of life overall.

By the middle of the book I chose to practice some of the techniques that were briefly described through the text just to try it out. For the past 3 weeks I have had pain in the middle of my back. I had even recently gone to a chiropractor to help alleviate my symptoms, which only worked temporarily. The moment I tried the technique of closing my eyes, clearly my mind, and speaking affirmations of confidence and healing something changed. I did not realize the pain in the middle of my pain, which I had been experiencing for weeks, was gone until about 5-10 minutes later when I stopped to stretch. I am not a blogger, I do not receive free books, or any type of compensation for this or any review I ever write. I also am usually one to dispel instant claims of miraculous effects occurring just from reading a text or saying a chant, so when I tell you my pain left and has not been back since I am shocked in a way. I still am secretly wondering when the pain will reappear, but by the continuation of applying the law I highly doubt it will. From that moment I figured if it's that easy then I wonder what life will be like once I apply it to every area of my life.

By the end of the book and my own personal testament, I was hooked. This is a life changing book and I see why it has sold millions and millions of copies around the world. It really works if you apply and believe. After previewing The Power and The Magic, I intend to read those two as well. This has easily become one of my all-time favorite books and I highly recommend it. Just try it. What do you have to lose?

I wish I had read The Secret much earlier in my life. I am 58 years old and have held negative thoughts in my head my entire life. The idea of the Laws of Attraction makes sense to me. I wish this simple concept had been presented to me in this way when I was younger. I hope it is not too late to try and apply this philosophy.
