5 out of 5 stars Everyone should have this   March 18, 2008
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Anyone who bought this thinking it was book hasn't read above that it's a journal. The idea is that you write on one side things that you are grateful for that you have now and on the other things that you would like to attract but feel grateful for already. This book really makes you thinks about what you have and how grateful you should be. Instead of moaning about housework, be grateful that you have a home, instead of moaning about your job be grateful that you have a job. It's a great way everynight to look back through your day and process it being grateful rather than looking at what went wrong.


4 out of 5 stars To help create a state of happiness   January 22, 2008
 11 out of 14 found this review helpful

I understand that some folk would be heartily disappointed to find out that this is in fact a notebook. However, for those of you who need guidance in what a gratitude list should entail this little beauty will help you start it.

The arguments above suggest that - if only they knew it wasn't a real book then they could have bought a notebook instead for a 1! Yes and again that's a very good point. However, I would suggest that the purpose of this book is to make you think of what you should be grateful for - for that day.

Its cover shouts "Gratitude list!" - which instantly springs your mind into positivity. Thus emphasising the whole point of being grateful and what the Secret is all about. Next, begin by putting the date at the top of the page - No. 1 I am grateful for being alive. No. 2 I am grateful for having body parts that work... etc.

I've had suggestions of doing a list with at least 10 things on it a day. Most people start by saying, blimey! 10 things!! I can't do that. But in time and with practice you will start to see all those amazing things around you start springing to life.

For people who want to be told how to live then this is not for you. If you are someone who is willing to perhaps try a different song then this is a tool to help aid you in that journey. It's a place where you can store all that gratitude. Then once you get the hang of it you can buy and create your own Gratitude book and decorate it how you wish.

I think it is a lovely idea and will help anyone starting out on the internal quest to happiness.

Happy travelling

It was a struggle to award this book even one star. Would have qualified for a NIL star rating if that had been available to me. I could have purchased a hard backed note pad at woolworths for less than a pound. Rhonda Byrne must be laughing all the way to the bank. It is nothing more than a glorified notebook with only eight pages of text at the beginning as an introduction.

If "The Secret" was so efficacious why would it need a sequel? Ahhh....I see this book isn't really a sequel at all it's an empty notepad. It is an example of marketing hype par excellence...Rhonda obviously thought "you know, the secret is now so popular - I could put it on the cover of an empty book and it would sell" ......probably. But I doubt even the most loyal readership is that gullible.

Please note that this book isn't really a book - it's an empty note book with a few quotations.
