Many of the people involved in this are con artists, professional salespeople who use the vehicle of the internet to market an idea or a concept of the ideal world, be happy and positive at whatever cost and you will gain great abundance and have a great life??. This notion is false and unrealistic to a large degree. I would agree with one of the previous contributors, these people that make money out of preying on the vulnerable and on people's emotions are by and large like robots, people who don't display any real emotions and are in it for the money. These people are manipulating decent people and should be stopped. There is a whole industry worldwide in the game of promoting positive approach to life.

DUUUH What seem to be so powerful about that movie isn't even the cast.. Mostly unrelevant visionaries and self-help guros.. Go on youtube and you find plenty of them and "self-proclaimed" ones as well. I guess gullible people are infatuated with that movie because it brings up SO MANY examples of how rotten someone's life can be.. And the examples are SO MANY, obviously there's always someone out there in the world with that exact particular problem.. It's like if you throw a rock out of the window and there's a crowd downstairs you're bound to HIT at least someone. That is their basic scheme. And also, it's quite disturbing the way that woman tries to make you believe that "when natural catastrophies happen, that's because people in that particular area in that particular moment weren't thinking positive enough". That is just preposterous... It's like saying "the World Trade Center victims all attracted those airline jets with their negative thinking"... LIKE RIIIIIGGGHHHTT, a financial center full of business people and tycoons OBVIOUSLY must have SO MANY negative thinkers... What a joke.

Never heard of the book or the DVD we purchased the DVD and watched it. While we are not familiar with any movement associated with the Secret, one theme that has been expressed in a few of these replies we find to be so true. In taking on full accountability for your actions and your responses, we have both found that living a life of gratitude has always lead us to a much better outcome everytime. That being said, it is with our chosen efforts that have brought our successes. This likely is because we both find that when in a positive frame of mind, which an attitude of gratitude maintains, it's easier to figure out next steps when resolving a challenge, problem or pursuing a goal. The Secret from the movie never appeared to be for us the magic bullet to solve all of our problems, it's just a re-enforcement about how powerful your state of mind can impact your outcome. Both of us remember an obvious formula that we read in Jack Canfield's book the Success Principles: "Event + Your Response = Outcome". This has stuck in our head ever since. Why? Controlling your state of mind and knowing the outcome you really want, will help steer your Response so that the outcome gets you closer to what you wanted. All the best to everyone, and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! Noriko.
