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

 The Best 90 Minutes You Can Spend September 8, 2008
This movie is a splendid, concise condensation of some classic ideas about how to improve your mood, your outlook, and thus your life. I have found that, yes, the better I feel, the happier I am, the more opportunities come my way, or I SEE the opportunities. Sadness and anger will blind you to the good about life. When watching this movie, you can take and use what you need or what feels right to you. I loved the nondenominational perspective. You also are introduced to quite a few teachers, alive and dead. I think anyone can get something out of this movie. I bought copies for all my nephews and nieces as gifts, and I have never bought movies as gifts. This really could be the best 90 minutes you have recently spent in front of a DVD player.
 Read the Bible Instead September 7, 2008

A friend had recommended I see The Secret, so I purchased it through Amazon.com. I watched a good portion of it, but I kept getting phone calls and other distractions so I finally gave up and put it away to finish another time. The more I thought about the message in The Secret however, the more I thought it was a bunch of brainwashing drivel. "The Law of Attraction"--think about what you want and you'll get it. "Think abundance and you'll have abundance; think lack and you'll have lack." How ridiculous! That's simply not how it works. We don't exist in a vacuum. There are other factors to consider--namely, that we were created by God to be in fellowship with Him and He has given us clear instructions in His Word(the Bible)to follow in order to have a full, wonderful, abundant life. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened."(Matthew 7:7,8 New American Standard Version) Of course there is also God's perfect peace in all situations--good or bad--which He has given freely to us(John 14:27); He's told us we don't have to be anxious about anything(Philippians 4:6); and He's assured us that if we love Him, everything will turn out for our good(Romans 8:28). So I say, skip The Secret and open your Bible instead. It's not referred to as "the Good Book" for nothing! If you don't have one, I recommend an annotated Bible which gives explanations of certain verses and cross references to other verses. Above all, open yourself up to receiving God's blessings. He has them for you and wants so badly to knock your socks off with His love, grace, mercy and goodness. And that's no secret. ;)
The Secret September 5, 2008
I have given this inspiring DVD to friends and loved ones here at home. And for friends and loved ones away from home,what better more efficient way than with Amazon.com. Over the years I have purchased a wide range of products and have NEVER been disappointed. Many, many thanks.cmz
Pleased as Punch! August 27, 2008
Thank you very much for your prompt delivery. The DVD is in excellent shape. Would highly recommend your products.
 Never got it August 26, 2008
The buyer contacted me to tell me it was unavailable and I was promptly reimbursed. No feedback because it was neither good nor bad. Bad that I didn't get the DVD but good that the buyer wrote to tell me and gave me a refund without me asking.
