Inspirational Secret Advices

By Kitty  Jun 19, 2007

Pros: Very helpful. Powerful. Life changes. Positive thoughts.

Cons: Miserable people don't have experiecing those lessons. No ones teach them about it in school and college.

Before I bought this book, "The Secret", at Wal-Mart 2 weeks ago, my life was so miserable and lonely. I was upset by personal issues. Having hard times. When I started reading it, I felt my life is about changing little bit and good. I am willing to try to change in a progress but recently, I've experienced few personal setbacks, not much. I just finished reading it last Saturday night. Those teachers in that book are great and smart. Thanks, teachers! I don't think deaf people will understand it cuz their English skills are screwing up if they did not go to a college but some others do if they heard about this book. I am recommending this excellent book to you cuz it will work for you successfully. Good luck!

Like the shopping channel? You'll love this.

Pros: Short length.

Cons: Everything else. Style, structure, theme, message, author, intellect ... the list goes on.

You thought drinking orange juice after you freshly brushed your teeth left a bad taste in your mouth? Apparently you haven't experienced The Secret. Taste is a bad analogy as it implies harmlessness. Rather, reading this book (or watching the DVD for that matter) is akin to having your eyes carved out with rusty spoons. It is patronizing, insulting to the intelligence of anything more intellectually inclined than a tortoise. Actually that's being somewhat insulting to the tortoise. Its written simply, in the most bulleted, childish, infomercial-ist way possible. Basically, the WORST get-rich-quick scheme I've ever seen. And so conspiracy-esque that I wouldn't be surprised to see Tom Cruise show up in the credits, partnered with M. Night Shamylan. And ... my favourite claim of the novel is, by far, the idea that non-Western cultures are poor and disadvantaged simply because they have not had the audacity to pick up and read Byrne's book. A little harsh don't you think?
Please don't waste your money ... you're better off buying Paris Hilton's book - this one makes her look like the next Salman Rushdie.

Life Changing

Pros: Experience it over and over, each time is a resounding 'YES'

Cons: Not enough people know about this

This is a life changing experience. It is empowering to learn that we can live our dreams if we give them a chance.
