disappointed

This book was not really what I expected. It's more of a meta-california type thing. If you will it, it will happen? Pretty weak in my book. Unless you're idea of being a go getter is planning your nights dreams this is not a worth while read.

Does it work

I actually liked the book and concept. It basically centers around having faith, but does not ever talk about the work part of the equation. I believe in maintaining a positive frame of mind and focus, however work is required to make things happen. So, even though I feel that she has an important point, there needs to be emphasis on acting and working on any inspiration one receives.

Lame of Lames

This book contains one of the most absurd concepts of all time. Only a moron would use these ideas and actually believe it would work. The basic premise is that anything you want, you can have as long as you put every ounce of your mental effort into obtaining it. That's right, no real work here, just the "power" of your own desire. It offers ZERO proof or even any examples of this concept working. Do no bother with this title. The only secret within The Secret is how the author dreamed the whole thing up herself...

Ok, but not for me

I found this interesting. The first CD was hard to get into, but then the second and third (middle of the book) really got my attention. The end was just too much for me to take and so in the end was left a bit deflated.

Good book, good information and useful. I was a little put off with all the dramatic music that was included & the various "experts" that were featured. All in all it was OK, but I wouldn't read it again.

Highly Recommend

I had already read the book but this is one of those times when the audio book really improved on just the written words. The people who contributed to the book do the audio and it is awe-inspiring. Some people may see this book as just another "power of positive thinking" but the author goes beyond this and encompasses many other aspects of ways to improve the way we approach the world. You will be grateful when you rent this book!

Not what I expected, but I will try to have a more positive attitude and try sending out my positive energy throughout the universe and reap the benefits.

This was a very relaxing and positive book to listen too. It really made my mind start to focus on all the good that the world has to offer. It also sparked my more spiritual side that I hadnt given much thought to in many years. A good read for someone that is open minded and has a positive outlook on life, but needing some reinforcement.

I couldn't get through this book. It was so repetitive and the reader (I believe the author) does not have the voice for audiobooks. I felt it was dangerous to drive while listening to this whinning junk because I kept wanting to nod off. VERY BORING!

This book has a lot of good information on it that will help you live a happier, more productive life. At first I felt it paid too much attention to money, and that the message was lots of money and material things are the path to success and happiness. But if you get past that part into the later chapters, focus is given to much more important things.
