The Secret

Have you ever wondered if there are hidden laws behind the workings of the universe? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an ally, something like the ‘force’, that could help you in everyday life? Do you want to know how to tap in to this powerful energy and transform your experience of life? Doesn’t everyone want to know how to be more in control, to be able to attract more happiness, success and prosperity? These are some of the exciting ideas behind the blockbuster best-seller “The Secret” that is currently sweeping the globe.

There is a tremendous buzz about this book. It has already been translated into 30 languages, including Croatian and Thai, and been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show. It is accompanied by a full length documentary movie, and has already spawned 2 more books in the Secret series.

So what is all the hype about? First of all, what the author has done is to gather teachings from many sources and to present them all under one cover. The book doesn't limit itself by subscribing to one religion or philosophical approach. Another reason why this book has been so successful is that it is written in a very accessible style. The author really wants to give you tools that you can use to improve your own life. Much of the core teaching is presented in the words of modern day gurus and teachers like Jack Canfield (author of the ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ series), Neal Donald Walsh (author of the ‘Conversations with God’ series) and Michael Beckwith (Leader of the huge Agape Church in California).

The principles contained in the pages of the Secret have been around for centuries and are contained in the teachings of many of the ‘great ones’ throughout history, including the Buddha, Gandhi, Isaac Newton, Einstein and a host of others. It’s the way that these teachings are presented and synthesized into a powerful, unified entity that makes this book so unique.

The mass appeal is also due to the fact that so many people are looking for solutions to the problems they encounter in life. Do these teachings actually work? Individual experience is the answer. The Secret lays out a road map for readers to follow. Step-by-step you are lead through the process of transforming the way you look at the world, with gifted modern day teachers and ancient gurus as your guides. These factors and others make this a very powerful tool to revolutionize your life and set out in a new direction.

I expect that ‘The Secret’ will continue to spread around the world. The publishers are busy translating it into still more languages, enlightening and informing whole new audiences. It has become a constant companion on my bedside table, and I can honestly say that it will be a trusted resource for many years to come.
