Product Description:
Amazon.com:
Not really a movie or documentary, The Secret is more of a video seminar, a presentation featuring a series of authors, philosophers, doctors, quantum physicists, entrepreneurs, and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret (probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles). What is The Secret, exactly? 'That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things,' proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, it's The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money, better health, and relationships; in short, happiness. (There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu).
Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner, with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly, which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense. On the other hand, the quick edits between presenters (would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time?) don't help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms. To many viewers, this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality. Plus it's somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare (it's well known that some of the historical figures noted didn't exactly live happy or even prosperous lives, despite their achievements). But still, the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone. So what to make of it? In the end, programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message, and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration. Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses. It simply won't resonate with everyone, but if it resonates with you, you're likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne. --Daniel Vancini

Rating: - "The Secret"
I have mixed feelings about this DVD... I loved the part about how to heal physically through positive thoughts. I have always believed that illnesses are mostly psychological and you can usually tell why your head aches or your stomach hurts. And it is true that when you really want something you usually get it.
However, I feel that the video emphasizes too much on materialism, like "if you really want that necklace, visualize yourself as if you already had it". I guess a lot of people care too much about wealth, but some of us don't really associate happiness with diamond necklaces!
Anyway it doesn't hurt to watch this video, it makes you want to be more optimistic about life in general and even though I only watched it once, it comes to my mind whenever negative thoughts start haunting me hehe
Rating:  - The book is better
I have both the DVD and the book on CD. The book is a superset of what is on the DVD and is great to listen to in the car.
My only problem with the material is that she/they make statements that they claim are facts but never give the sources for the information or substantiate it in any other way. This has the same feel as listening to reporters state incomplete (biased) statistical information to backup their opinions on NPR.

I love this DVD and watch it over and over again....it has changed my life for the positive and I do believe in "the Secret."
Rating:  - Hocus Pocus Poof
Like majic this DVD gives you a quick run down of what you can do to make billions and buy that jet you always wanted. Oh, did I mention you can cure aids if you post a sign up on your mirror and chant words that you write down? It is amazing how gullible people are. I think some churches of prosperity have to take the blame for this. Telling people they can have anything, but, the only person who really gets the bulk of the, ahem, "blessings", are the ones telling everyone else they can have these things. Rhonda Byrne is rich...every one in this video are millionaires and you can catch them hanging out at marketing, seminars, workshops and the like. Honing their skills on how to grab the emotions of people to get them to whip out their credit cards. All of these people are former sales people and current marketers. They know the real secret and now that I shared it with you, so, do you.
