Once a week at work we have training. Today we watched 'The Secret' as part of it. I thought it was a great movie. During the day I was on the phone making a lot of calls and seemed not to making much progress at all. I was in a real sour mood. I really did not watch the movie but it changed my outlook on things. The movie explains the law of attraction and no matter what you think about, it will be attracted to you, whether good of bad. So instead of example of focusing on debt, focus on wealth. Also think about the things in life your are grateful for. I started to think about the things in life that made me happy and things that I was grateful for. Instead of feeling sad and depressed I started to think of all of the positive things in my life and I feel happy now. I realize that all of the good things that happened to me are all because of positive thoughts. If anyone has not seen 'The Secret' I would recommend it.
I have the book, the movie, and the CD's, so yeah. It has an amazing message, and is really entertaining. It changed the way I look at things and opened my eyes to this Law of Attraction. I would suggest this to anyone who has an open mind about spirituality.
I have no qualms with the basic message of The Secret - will to power, to condense it down to three words. However, I do have a problem with the idea that it's some sort of "secret". It isn't. This "secret" has been hidden in plain sight in many books written over the last couple of centuries. In fact, the book The Secret leans extremely heavily on a tried-and-tested book called The Power of Positive Thinking. In fact, I'd suggest PoPT. It tends to lean heavier on "improving your inner person", and less on material things, which I think is a rather flimsy use for the ideas.

I agree with Lex, POPT is a much better read and there are several things in "The Secret" which seem trivial, material, and sometimes just plain stupid. . .
I have the movie-and it is GREAT. It really gave me a new outlook on things, and helped me to be more positive. I've seen it 5 or 6 times now and I'm going to watch it again soon.
I believe in the Law of Attraction. I prefer the teachings of Abraham (Esther Hicks). I think it focuses more on improving your thought processes instead of acquiring material things. I don't always agree with everything Abraham speaks about but still I think you can learn alot by listening to this.
