What do you think of Rhonda Byrne's The Secret series of books?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I watched the DVD some years ago and I agree, trying to focus on the positives not the negatives and visualizing goals and what you might want for yourself, are all valuable as tools to help achieve your desires. However, I do not believe there is any sort of supernatural magic in what is promoted and more importantly, I think it is a complete crock of shot to claim that everyone in this world that is poverty stricken or in a less than ideal situation is to blame because of their faulty thinking. That mother in Afghanistan holding her babies body that has been blown to bits surely has wised, prayed and visualized the end of war and to claim she is at fault for her plight is beyond arrogant. The real “Secret” is that these new agey self help books by aspiring gurus are, funny enough, marketed to cater to upper, middle class white people that haven’t gotten that vacation house or latest Mercedes model that is keeping them in a state of despair. lol I doubt sales are very high in say Tijuana or other 3rd world countries where $15.00—$20.00 for the book and more for the DVD could feed a family for a week. I wonder if Rhonda has handed out any charitable copies in 3rd world countries? Somehow I doubt it. My copy? Dropped at the local Goodwill a long time ago. haha
