The Secret By Rhonda Bryne
A book recommended to me by my friend Rebecca Hopkin.
Throughout the book, Byrne intersperses quotes from proponents of the law of attraction, such as Jack Canfield, creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
These experts believe the law to be supported by quantum physics,
arguing that it is a law of nature like gravity. According to Byrne, the
mind is a magnet, emitting and receiving frequencies to and from the
Universe. Each thought sends out a signal, which is turn gathers similar
frequencies – due to the law of attraction – before returning back to
you. In this fashion, your mind can bring you anything you desire –
dream of a new house, and somehow, someway, it will come to you. On the
flip side, dwelling on war and poverty will only perpetuate these evils.
Byrne even proposes that too much negative thinking can put you in the
path of a natural disaster or terrorist attack.
The
rest of the book explores different methods of using the law of
attraction to your advantage. The primary technique is “ask, believe,
receive.” This process involves imagining what you desire and pretending
that you already have it. For example, Byrne suggests filling out a
fake check and pretending to buy all the things you’ve always wanted.
Doing so, she says, will make you wealthy.
Aphoristic
and repetitive, the book does more than emphasize of importance of
positive thinking. Byrne argues that everything is controlled by your
thoughts, even your health. Food, she writes, only makes you gain weight
because you believe it should. In the end, the book is a hymn to the
power of the mind. Whether you know it or not, your thoughts, Byrne
warns, will eventually come true. (Text by
