Book Summary of The Secret

A self-help book, 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne was a successful albeit controversial book. Published in 2006, the book propagates the presence of a natural law that governs everything in the universe, including your ability to be happy and successful. So if there is a natural law that decides your destiny, how do you take control of your life? Read the book to know more about your power to steer your life in the right direction.

Summary of the Book

Rhonda Byrne was inspired to write The Secret after reading The Science of Getting Rich. The latter was written by Wallace Wattles. Rhonda Byrne read it during a difficult time in her life. Deeply influenced, she conducted an in-depth study of what modern thinkers had to say about how the universe is governed. In her book, she concludes that there is a natural Law of Attraction. The book claims that everybody and everything in the universe has a certain frequency. The law of attraction ensures that an individual automatically attracts events, situations and other people who come within the same frequency range.

In The Secret, Rhonda Byrne says that understanding this Law of Attraction can help us improve our lives. She emphasizes the power of positive thinking. The power to think positively at all times will automatically attract positive events, situations and people in our lives. Thus, people who feel that their life is going out of control should modify their thoughts to think positively. Think that you are rich and you will become rich. Think you are happy and you will be happy. This kind of thinking, the book says, will bring desirable outcomes in life vis-à-vis health, happiness and wealth.

General Reception and Other Adaptations

Translated into 44 languages and with more than 19 million copies worldwide, it was preceded by a low-budget documentary film of the same name that was released on DVD. The DVD sales soared and Rhonda Byrne became a well-known name after renowned TV host Oprah Winfrey recommended the book on her show. Buoyed by the success of the movie, Rhonda Byrne came out with a book The Secret within eight months. It was followed by several follow up books including The Power. The book was on The New York Times best seller list for 146 weeks.

About Rhonda Byrne

Rhonda Byrne started her career as a radio producer in Australia before moving on to television. Her television production company is known as Prime Time Productions and has won several industry awards. In 2004, she was in emotional turmoil after the death of her father and relationship problems. That is when she started work on The Secret.

Rhonda Byrne was selected as one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World in the year 2007. She has also made it to the Forbes Celebrity 100 list.

Veritably the most inspiring book

Never knew that something as simple as your thoughts can work so well for you. It's all in the mind,what u think is what manifests..,I have tried this umpteen number of times and it has worked every time. Actually this book is no different from other books on positive thinking or other inspiring novels like The Alchemist,but what makes this book unique is it explains you how to apply positive thinking to change your life and also tells you the reason why this works along with real-life examples of people. Just try this once,it does work!
Those who are calling this book a bullshit, well you will keep finding this bullshit because that's what you believe. Unless you open up yourself to the universe.it can't help you.

Horsesh*t

Ah, another one of these new age, "self help", books. Keeping consistent with the rest of them, this book is utter hogwash; a placebo. The book deals with what the author has dubbed, "The Law of Attraction";of which there have been many variations over the year, suggests that the universe conspires to help you in fulfilling your dreams if you just wish hard enough. What a joke.

The idea that the universe owes YOU anything is something I find repulsive and narcissistic. I am certain that those millions of starving children in India REALLY want food, I don't see the universe conspiring to rain food on them. This is a book for your clueless, confidence-lacking and lazy middle class who is vain enough to believe that the universe will shower him with love and money. This book encourages the though that EVERYTHING that happens to you is because of your thoughts, and the "bad" things happen because of you wanted them to. Oh yes, I am sure that little girl who got r*aped was begging for it. This book exemplifies victim blaming and escapism at its worst.

This is not how the real world works. I can already see the
"true" believers of The Secret dismissing me, saying that I am cynical and just don't really believe in it. Haha, you will be disillusioned soon enough.

I've learned the "Secret"...

I ordered this book not for me but for my mentor. It was only two days to hand over this book to her but I stopped & thought of going through this book. This book is phenomenon!!!
"The Law Of Attraction" is beautifully illustrated & explained how it can be utilized to create happiness, bring harmony, attract perfect life, perfect life-partner as well as wealth & health. Incidentally I was taken aback as I overlook so many gifts that this Universal power had offered to me. Thanks Ms. Bryan Rhonda to revealing "The Secret".
Buy this book...let the power of the Universe be your Genie saying "Your wish is my command".

I LOVE IT, THE BOOK IS AMAZING!

The Book Is really inspiring.
Though it isn't that easy to do exactly as mentioned in the book, In tough situations of life, they may not be so helpful.
But the author of the secret has shown how to truly use the Law of Attraction!

The Book Is all About: What you think, you get. And That turns out to be so true in most situations!
We think About our debts, we suffer more, but we blame it all on our luck. But the truth is, it's all based on our 'mind'. Cuz our mind, controls everything we're going through in life.
According to the writer itself- "When you think in harmony with the frequency of something, you attract it to you. If you think about wealth, you will receive wealth"

Totally affordable and worth giving a shot. If really interested, you should definitely buy it.

Good Day :)
