Editorial Review: Product Description: Amazon.com: Not really a movie or documentary, The Secret is more of a video seminar, a presentation featuring a series of authors, philosophers, doctors, quantum physicists, entrepreneurs, and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret (probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles). What is The Secret, exactly? "That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things," proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, it's The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money, better health, and relationships; in short, happiness. (There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu). Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner, with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly, which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense. On the other hand, the quick edits between presenters (would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time?) don't help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms. To many viewers, this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality. Plus it's somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare (it's well known that some of the historical figures noted didn't exactly live happy or even prosperous lives, despite their achievements). But still, the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone. So what to make of it? In the end, programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message, and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration. Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses. It simply won't resonate with everyone, but if it resonates with you, you're likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne. --Daniel Vancini Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Don't believe the negative commentsIm not much of a review writer but I felt it necessary due to all the other comments. They call it "The Secret".. and even though we all know these things (instinct, intuition, the bible, physics, etc), its difficult for anyone to assemble them in a pretty little package and use them in every day life. I have been following "The Secret" for years without knowing it. This movie sort of connected the dots and filled in the blanks. I'm a very intelligent, rational person and know this is the real deal. ... Read More Rating: - A Good Beginning"The Secret" is a good beginning for those interested in understanding the Law of Attraction, positive thinking and visualization. The information is presented in an interview style format. Some of the contributors include: Joe Vitale (writer of "The Attractor Factor"), Michael Bernard Beckwith (founder of Agape Spiritual Center) and Jack Canfield (co-founder of the "Chicken Soup" series). The presentation is superb and I believe this is one of the best marketed DVDs in recent ... Read More Rating: - Mind Changing FilmI really like it because it shows me how to find my true desire and the tools to turn it into reality. The law of attraction really works. I experienced it personally. For exmaple, around one month before I purchased this DVD, I wanted it so badly and felt so emotionalized by this product, I deeply felt that I could change my life for the better with this movie. Now I'm on my way there. Thank God for working in this universe. Rating: - Wonderful VideoThis movie was very inspiring and uplifting and led me to read the book also....gives a great understanding of The Law of Attraction and I continued with Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook and followed up with their recipes (exercises) that reinforces the principle.. Recommend this book also. Rating: - The Secret DVDLoved this DVD and is a wonderful companion to the book....when I need a little inspiration or reminder, it's great to be able to watch! |
