'The Secret' - book

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne review

I was reading 'The Secret' yesterday. A book lent to me from Alya that describes the law of attraction and explains the philosophy of our mind being a great power that acts like a frequency terminal. Basically, what we think, influences what we experience in the present moment of our lives. If you think optimistically and happily, positive things will happen to you. What is important is visualizing what you want done. I find this concept of attractiveness a form of Mindfulness- a method to train ones concentration and focus.

Although this book does grant a certain sort of power and confidence, I think it lies no further than that. There is no true evidence entailed in the book, only references to so-called successful mindsets who have mentioned probably once or twice of how our mindset channels what we can achieve in the world. It is so general that I cannot really wholeheartedly support what is said in the book, as I find that even without it, if you pay attention to those around you and adopt a positive mindset, you would know all of that even without 'The Secret' having to explain it to you.

On a positive note, it does provide a mean of reaffirmation to those out there who have been down in the dumps or have no idea where they are headed.

Remember to keep a positive outlook people!
