    I saw the movie or documentry and read the book too, has it worked for you? I have read similar books one of which was called the magic of believing so its nothing new.

      Umm - it's a secret - DUH!

      No, it's a book about positive affirmations - and the power of positive thoughs. The belief is that positive thinking ushers manifestations due largely to the law of attraction. Metaphysically, it is truly a profound set of theories. If you can, grab the book - or better yet, in this case, watch the movie. IIRC, it was offered online for free a few years back. I have a hard copy with me, and I watch it from time to time.
      Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

        I would say that for me it has worked. Not in the way that you would assume, though. I am not richer (in the physical sense), but it did help me alot when it came to being a much happier person. Here's an example. I have not had a day off in what will be a month (as of tomorrow). It seems so perverse - and I should be tired as all hell. I have my moments, and I do get very tired - but I am actually happy. Why? B/C I love what I do and I understand that my time here is making the lives of others all that much easier for I am fixing alot of things here that need to be fixed. There are times when I want to say "Man, f*ck this - I want to go to sleep - I want to get the hell out of here!" but, I don't allow myself to get into that negative mode of thinking, knowing full and well that if I do, it will only attract more negative things into my day/week/life. I am not 'stupid-happy', but I am content. In the past few months (since I have seen 'the secret'), I must admit that I have been doing things that I never assumed that I would do - one in which you guys were able to experience with me (albeit to a conclusion that I was not able to anticipate) - all the while with the understanding that the only thing that ever held me back was self-doubt. I feel, at times, as if I can take on the world. I can do that, and that, and that - and why? Because it's all a matter of perception.

        Now, has the 'secret' worked for me, I will say again - yes, and not in the ways that I expected. But, I have incorporated aspects of it into my life, and I do think that I am much better off for it!
