I'd Love To Have Some Feedback On The Book "The Secret" By Rhonda Byrne. Has Anyone Read It?

I would love to have someone explain the "Secret" to me. I have a son that is reading it and I haven't heard anything positive about it.

    Hopefully someone will get in touch with you who has read this book or seen the film. In the meantime, you might find this www.dailymail.co.uk review of interest. Having read several of R. Byrne's articles and being fairly familiar with books of this type, I have to say that it all sounds very, very phony - the claims about ancient philosophers, religious leaders etc all having shared the same "secret" are definitely untrue; you don't need to read the book to know that but only to know a little about philosophy and history. Her claims about illness are also very hard to believe. However, if your son gets benefit from the book that's the main thing.
