Hi Peeps,

I was wondering if any of you has read or watched the documentary called the Secret. For more infos view clips on You Tube or do a search engine on Google.

I agree 100% with positive thinking but I believe there are fondamental elements missed by the author. I think the book stresses on contemplative and passive thinking without action.
It is common sense that nothing will happen in your life if you don't take actions. People have to be realistic on their goals too and be patient.
I would love to be Prince'back dancer but it won't happen

Unfortunately, I don't think that their theory is valid in undevelopped countries, I am sure poor people are all dreaming of having clean water, food, rain, and an environment free of diseases; but I am afraid it won't happen by the use of their imaginations.

The chapter on relationships is ludicrous, the author advices for any single people to make some room in their closets, sleep on one side of the bed and they will find a new partner?

I use some of their ideas (which is far from being a secret BTW) and it reminds me that whoever you are and whatever you want in your life, you have to believe strongly about yourself and focus on your goals. You also have to believe that you deserve happiness.

What are your ideas on the Secret?,,,,

PS: English is not my first language so sorry if the explanations are not clear

I think they're taking positive thinking too far to wishful thinking.
To make things happen you do need the right mind set, the mind set to take direct steps toward a goal.

I created a thread about this about a week and a half ago, and I got mixed reviews.

I've had really strange incidents happen in my life. For a while there, I thought I might have had the power see the future before it happened. Now I think it's just a case of the law of attraction. I can have some damned powerful thoughts, and eight times out of ten, reality follows.

And no, I am not crazy.

Well said. I think it is quite dangerous for people who have no common sense or are going through a hard time. The author and his team can still find the excuse that the person does not think or see things right.
