The Secret - Is it going to work?
September 30, 2007 by Santosh
Last night I finished the much hyped Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret. Frankly speaking I could not find any thing new about ‘The Secret’ or Law of Attractions. But, yes, a few thing impressed me. The whole marketing strategy of this book and the layout and design. The book make you touch and feel when you see it in the bookstore and the name itself adds some charm to it.
Now coming to the content or rather to ‘The Law of Attraction’ on intellectual level my brain refuses to see any reason why ‘The Law of Attractions’ should work (all the reference to Quantum Physics and the claims are very vague.). Though one cannot deny that if you have been really dreaming about something and you want to achieve it, you are sure to move ahead, but this book talks about something more.
‘The Law of Attraction’ says visualize a cheque coming into your mail box and you will get it. Think and Feel about driving a car, getting desired partner and you would get them. Interesting. What if all of my friends start dreaming about Salma Hayek, will the universe (governed by The Law of Attraction) create multiple copies of Salma Hayek so that everyone can be happy? What if, everyone starts wishing to be the President ? No answers.
But yes, Creative Visualization works ( or it seemed to work to some extent and I am sure there are some laws which might be governing its efficacy so it does not grant any of your stupid wishes, for sure it did not grant any of mine). There were things which were impossible, I could only dream about them. They turned into reality and I have no idea how. So I do not see any harm in being positive. But for sure, I am not going to rely on ‘The Law of Attraction’ and visualize that I am turning into a bullet proof human being when somebody has put gun on my head, better rely on some other skills.
Hilarious. I like your review a lot. Will still read it or at the least skim through it after enjoying its look and feel, if and when I lay my hands on it…..meanwhile going to start some visualisation and see if it works…..psst….a vacation..oh no does it fail if you say it out aloud? Better not risk that!!
you never know what works in life? People havng varied characteristics succeed. Still a thing to measure the common thing among all….
hey this law si applicable to some extent…even i visualise and to some extent sure that i will get ‘it’…but i feel determination is essential to achieve it…thats it…just by sitting home you wont get it…may be the book simply tried to hypnotise! i liked your explanation and comments…keep updating
