Question:

So Is That Book "The Secret" total bull?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, I think it is total bullsh*t. Actually, many experts not only think it's bull, they consider it dangerous: http://www.cnn.com/2007/showbiz/books/06...

Its premise it ridiculous ...if you're 5'6, you'll never be a starting center for the Spurs ... no matter how *hard* you want it. Another beef I have with the book is its emphasis on materialism ... like if you get just enough "stuff", you'll be happy. Great joke, right? Henry Ford, after he made his first billion, was asked how much more he wanted. He replied "just a little more".

You really want to change things? Be happy with what you have NOW. Read some stuff on Zen Buddhism. Do something nice for someone else. But stay far, far away from "The Secret".
