Review title: Naive Rehash of New Thought
Product review: "The Secret" is not a secret at all, it is merely an unsophisticated rehash of 19th century New Thought philosophy. Some of the techniques make for good psychology of the "Positive Thinking" variety, but the metaphysical claims are so overblown as to be silly.According to "The Secret" all the people dying in Iraq (or anywhere else) are drawing that fate to themselves by their own thoughts, since only their own thoughts can have any effect on their lives.There are sophisticated and worthwhile expositions of the "New Thought" philosophy, but this isn't one of them.
