An honest review of The Secret

This is a review of  The Secret by Rhonda Byrne who shot to fame with her best selling  movie and self help book  about 10 years ago.  The movie and  book featured over a dozen well known success coaches.  Before this though  The Secret really was a well kept secret.   Wallace Wattles also wrote a  book about prosperity about 100 years ago and  I am sure it was part of the inspiration Rhonda drew from to make the movie.

Bob Proctor introduced The Secret as  The Law of Attraction because he said that what you think influences what you attract into your life.  Your subconscious mind acts on your thoughts to bring about our reality.  This really was a new concept for most of us.

Here is my own  honest review of  The Secret but I want you to make up your mind if it right for you and whether you want to invest time and finances into purchasing any of the products.

I probably found that the cast of  The Secret was something that I found exciting as it brought together some of the best minds at that time in the self development field.  Names like Jack Cranfield known for his books “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and Joe Vitale, Bob Proctor, as I mentioned before, and John Asssaref to name just a few.  Their successes they have
contributed to “The Law of Attraction” and emphasized that this has been used throughout history by people like Davinci, Edison and Rockefeller.

Looking at some of these people you can find that they changed their lives by directing their thoughts to what they wanted.  They all also believed that they were connected to the universe which caused us to be linked to everything else.

A word of caution
The Secret was a valuable learning curve but it really didn’t tell you everything.  If you look at the lives of  those famous people I mentioned what you will find that they were also committed to obtaining their goals and dreams and implemented a plan, were persistent and had a burning desire to achieve it.  The Law of Attraction though only goes so far as ‘ask, believe, receive”.

In conclusion to my review of  The Secret I want to say that I am sure that the people involved know that they are missing a few steps and that really nothing happens without action and persistence.  That said, The Secret is still a great book to have to read and have in your library and the movie is worth seeing as long as you keep those other steps in mind as well to achieve your goals, whether that be success or prosperity.
