1 out of 5 stars If you're eighty years old, but you look eighteen....   June 10, 2008
 3 out of 5 found this review helpful

and you did it by belief and thought alone, then hooray, we can all believe in The Secret!
It states in the product overview that: "This is The Secret to everything - the secret to unlimited joy, health, money, relationships, love, youth: everything you have ever wanted." !!! Well...
All I'm asking is, why are the believers of The Secret so silent when it comes to questions like why can't old people make themselves young again by the power of thought? Most people in the world want to reverse aging, yet where are the eighty year old believers in The Secret who look eighteen instead of eighty?
I've seen the argument that it can't be done because it's not _meant_ to be done. But The Secret states that one can achieve _anything_ that one wants! And most people want to reverse aging, but most people do not achieve it! Even Byrne herself is supposed to be attempting it, but sadly hasn't succeeded.
Where are the bald men who have completely regrown all their hair by thinking and believing they could?
Where are the sixty year old women who have totally reversed the menopause and, or, got pregnant afterwards by _natural_ means?
Where are the old grannies with the hot young boyfriends?
I've seen people who have no belief in The Secret or anything like it and are very negative people with bad attitudes and full of resentment and hate and therefore according to The Secret should attract all manner of bad things into their lives, and yet they don't. And I've seen kind, good natured people with positive happy attitudes, attract bad circumstances.
Has anyone become a millionaire solely by believing one would? - You might say that can't happen without doing something to get it; but The Secret says you can have _anything_ you want. Anything means anything, it means someone who wants to buy a lottery ticket and win a few million that week, BEING ABLE TO. It means someone who wants to get together with the person they have worshipped from afar for a long time, BEING ABLE TO, even if they are a seventy eight year old granny and the object of their affections is some cute little seventeen year old boy from across the way! Don't say it can't be done. The Secret says you can have ANYTHING YOU WANT!
To get back to the one thing that most people spend a lot of time focusing on, the desire to look forever young. If The Secret were true, then most of those people would look young because they give so much thought to it, because you "attract what you think about", yet most people do not achieve this. They may look considerably younger than they are, (I've seen people looking 30 years younger than their age, but none of them believe in The Secret, they've inherited the tendency to look young for much longer than most) but even famous people who are lauded for looking younger than their years, none of them in their seventies or eighties look about twenty years old, and yet they would if they could, hence some of the hideous caricatures we see of people who have had facelifts so many times that they look grotesque. So you honestly believe that some of those people would not be able to make themselves look young again if they could? I'm sure most of them must have heard of The Secret, and it states one can have ANYTHING one wants, and yet the one thing that _most_ people want, remains evasive!
Even certain famous celebrities who are praised for looking very young, have flabby underarms and old looking hands. (Madonna anyone?) So, the reversal of aging on the body and physical appearance stays elusive, even for people well in the know, with fitness gurus at their disposal and following the spiritual techniques that supposedly reverse aging, so if they cannot achieve it, is anyone who believes in The Secret going to? Even Byrne herself has not been able to. Which says it all really!
It's no use anyone saying that reversing aging would be against natural laws, or that for some granny to want some cute boy, would not be right and proper, or that one musn't want this or musn't want that, for reasons of this is wrong or that is wrong, One fact remains, and this is that The Secret is _marketed_ on the basis that you can have ANYTHING you want, you only have to read it and believe. But, this is quite obviously just NOT TRUE! The author of The Secret is a woman in her fifties who looks like a woman in her fifties. Yet it has been stated that after 'curing' her defective eyesight in three days by the power of her mind, she had then turned her attention to using her mind to reverse aging in herself. Sadly, she has not succeeded in doing so!!
I don't know how it can be justified, the amount of money being made by selling impossible dreams to people, it is bordering on cruelty with its misleading and ultimately untrue promises.
It would be very nice if The Secret really were true, but it just isn't.

~ Coming back a month later to this, the main thing I want to add is this:
Main thing: All the belief in the world doesn't stop the aging process. Yet Rhonda Byrne states that you can have "anything" you want. Yet to stop aging _is_ what many people want. (Including Byrne herself!) So The Secret is a lie in the respect of how she writes about it, (personal genii granting wishes, etc). If anyone disagrees, then state _why_ you disagree, and I will gladly listen. But bear in mind we are discussing 'The Secret' as described by Rhonda Byrne, and not someone else's interpretation of the Law of Attraction, which may be different.



1 out of 5 stars Many people say "The Secret" is evil, PLEASE GET RID OF IT NOW!!!!   May 22, 2008
 2 out of 10 found this review helpful

Since the Secret was released a few years ago, life on earth has become harder and harder, with more wars and killings every day, and some say its because of the movie "The Secret". Since "The Secret" was released a few years ago, the following horrible changes have occured all over the entire world:

1)Starvation and food shortages have increased 360 percent!
2)Poverty and malnutrition have increased 530 percent!
3)Innocent children are dying everwhere!
4) Horrible serial killings are up 342 percent!
4) Gas prices have gone up 300 percent!
5 Energy and utility costs are up 300 percent!
6) Innocent people are being killed by the thousands every day!
7) Before "the Secret" was released, none of this ever occured!
8) People are much more angry than ever!
9) Life has lost meaning for many because of the Secret!
10) Some say this movie should be banned!
11) Please ban it now, its horrible!



4 out of 5 stars The power of positive thinking   May 19, 2008
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

It took me a while to put this DVD on. It was recommended to me but I had a feeling it was going to be overdramtic money making twaddle. It is that but without too much twaddle. It has a very important message of positive thinking and I like to believe there is something in it. I think that Rhonda Byrne is very clever, she's packaged something for everyone as this is not specific to any religion or belief system.
I am not a religious person but I have always liked to believe there's something out there and I've always believed in a certain amount of Karma (what goes around comes around etc) and to me this DVD has given me a kick up the bum to wake up in the morning and be thankful for what I've got and wish for exactly what I want in the future.



3 out of 5 stars Exactly the same dialog as the book   May 8, 2008
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

If you've bought the book... the DVD brings nothing new. It has exactly the same material as the book. Even the script is exactly the same. I bought the book thinking that the film would give me additional information but I was disappointed.

In a nutshell.... if you read the book 1st, all this DVD will bring are moving pictures and a small scene by Bob Proctor at the end.
