Have you read "The Secret?"

I think i might have seen this book talked about here before, not sure.
just curious what you think about this book if you've read it or know about it. I'm reading it right now, and while positive thinking is really a good idea, this book is full of very strange ideas, IMO. It has a lot of magical thinking in it. i would hope people don't take this too seriously...especially if you're sick and think you can visualize getting better, and you will! I don't think so...like I said positive thinking is good, but it has its limits.
What about when the author says to not even look at overweight people if you are trying to lose weight?!
Well, I'll finish the book, but as far as it working a miracle, it probably won't.
And she talks about wanting a lot of material things in this book, too. it's just the weirdest self-help book I think I've ever read.
has anyone seen the movie?

One of my sister's friends, after reading this book, left her children for 6 weeks (she is divorced so left them with Dad) and went to Australia to "discover" herself or something like that. I'm sorry, but any book that would cause you to do something so strange is not something I would want to read. I think your gut feelings on this book are right!!

I wonder if this has something to do with scientology? Isn't what that's all about, too? Positive thinking to cure your body and make you a famous movie star?
