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.

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 :)
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".
Most Dumb Book
There is nothin new in the book..!! They say : Dream, imagine,write things what you want..!! These are natural way of dealing things, every1 has its own, they are not supposed to be taught..!! And moreover, we are primary, & thinking is secondary, so changing the thinking, cannot make change in ourselves..!!
And moreover Positive thinking is for mediocre people, only -ve people are attracted towards ve thinking..,
To remove inner negativity is the first step..!! The only way is to find reason for sadness, instead of looking of happiness.., becoz there is none, only removal of sadness gives true happiness..!!
This book is sure to delude people..!! Infact Read OSHO,Eckhart tolle, J. Krishnamurti..!! They are the mountain peaks..!!
The God is Inside
Its a secret if seen with the eyes. It is a definite. way of life and most of all the Gratitude part. "We are gods manifested in human beings", "Ask-Beleive-Receive"...we all knew or not but our subconciuos mind knew all. Whatever you 'Act-Speak-Think', the god is listening carefully as we are all the children of the One God. Thank you very much Mrs. Byrne and ofcourse FlipKart. Recommended.
