Synopsis
Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in
literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For
the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an
incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who
experience it.In
this book, you'll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your
life -- money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every
interaction you have in the world. You'll begin to understand the
hidden, untapped power that's within you, and this revelation can bring
joy to every aspect of your life. The Secret contains wisdom
from modern-day teachers -- men and women who have used it to achieve
health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret,
they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease,
acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many
would regard as impossible.
From the Publisher
The Secret is truly the most outstanding book to date that we have
published. I am so pleased that Rhonda Byrne was able to bring together
this life-changing information so masterfully. She first did it for the
movie of the same name that she produced, which has been a phenomenon
in its own right. She then added, in only ones month's time, incredible
additional content to the transcript of the film that brings even more
clarity to the reader. This is absolutely a book that people from all
walks of life can read and then "get" the concept of The Secret. It
allows them to then take it and apply it to their lives. Children,
teenagers and adults of all ages are reporting miraculous stories of
positive changes as a result. Rhonda Byrne is dedicated to maintaining
the integrity of The Secret and to making sure that now, finally, the
whole world knows about The Secret. You will want to share this with
your friends and family and they will be grateful for it. This book
gives hope for what many have been waiting for-- a shift in the way the
world thinks. Its a very exciting time that we are living in, and I as
well as everyone at Beyond Words and Atria Books are grateful to be a
part of it.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Supporters will hail this New Age
self-help book on the law of attraction as a groundbreaking and
life-changing work, finding validation in its thesis that one's
positive thoughts are powerful magnets that attract wealth, health,
happiness... and did we mention wealth? Detractors will be appalled by
this as well as when the book argues that fleeting negative thoughts
are powerful enough to create terminal illness, poverty and even
widespread disasters. The audio version of this controversial book,
read by Byrne and contributing authors such as John Gray and Neale
Donald Walsch, is uneven at best. The cheesy, obvious sound effects
will not do much to add intellectual respectability to a work that has
been widely denounced as pseudoscience. Mostly, this audio is hampered
by its confusing and disjointed organization—techniques that worked
reasonably well in the print version and the movie, such as cutting
every few seconds from one enthusiastic expert to another, make for a
choppy and somewhat bewildering listening experience. The gentle
cadences of Rhonda Byrne's breathy, Aussie-infused voice are certainly
the best part of the audio, but her material is scarce and provides
mostly connective tissue between the testimonials.

From AudioFile
Audio seems like the natural medium for Rhonda Byrne's blockbuster
motivational book on positive thought for positive results. The
Australian TV producer leads listeners through her exposition on the
secret of life. Quoting from an array of New Age gurus and interpreting
more traditional teachers as well, the program integrates sound bites
from the various authors, with actors taking many of the roles. Neale
Donald Walsh, Denis Waitley, Jack Canfield, and dozens of others make
cameo comments throughout the program. Byrne's slightly whispery,
intimate voice calling the listener to believe alternates with hyped
"you-can-do-it" encouragement from speakers like Bob Proctor. Kudos
goes to the production team that integrated the dozens of
speakers--some just introducing who will speak next. The resulting
audio keeps a rapid pace hop-skipping along to support Byrne's premise
of the essential "Law of Attraction." R.F.W. © AudioFile 2007,
