What is "The Secret"? This book doesn't really tell you.... 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

You can't tell from this book that there IS "a secret". A better alternative to "The Secret" is "The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham" by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Their examples are much more clear and relevant. Also, "The Power of Intention" by Dr. Wayne Dyer is a more practical implementation of the concepts talked about in "The Secret".

Don't waste your money and time on "The Secret" (unless you can borrow it from someone else) when there are so many other more valuable books on

Editorial Review:

Quantum made easy 5 out of 5 stars.

I cannot believe I haven't heard about this book before, and cannot put it down. Easy reading, not too technical, very good examples of various experiments, and drawing from 'ancient' knowledge as well as finding very pertinent references to the "Field" from people from various walks of life over the last century - how come they 'knew' about this and so many of us are disconnected?
Wonderful reading.

Editorial Review:

Between 1993 and 2000, a series of groundbreaking experiments revealed dramatic evidence of a web of energy that connects everything in our lives and our world—the Divine Matrix. From the healing of our bodies, to the success of our careers, relationships, and the peace between nations, this new evidence demonstrates that we each hold the power to speak directly to the force that links all of creation. What would it mean to discover that the power to create joy, to heal suffering, and bring peace to nations lives inside of you? How differently would you live if you knew how to use this power each day of your life? Join Gregg Braden on this extraordinary journey bridging science, spirituality and miracles through the language of The Divine Matrix.

Editorial Review:

Healing Back Pain promises permanent elimination of back pain without drugs, surgery, or exercise. It should have been titled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses one particular cause of back pain--Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)--and isn't really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages of action plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methods don't work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and limbs--and it is caused not by structural abnormalities but by the mind's effort to repress emotions. He's not saying that your pain is all in your head; rather, he's saying that the battle going on in your mind results in a real physical disorder that may affect muscles, nerves, tendons, or ligaments. An injury may have triggered the disorder, but is not the cause of the amount or intensity of the resulting pain. According to Sarno, the mind tricks you into not facing repressed emotion by making you focus on pain in the body. When this realization sinks in ("and it must sink in, for mere intellectual appreciation of the process is not enough"), the trick doesn't work any more, and there's no need for the pain. (Healing Back Pain should not be used for self-diagnosis. Always consult a physician for chronic or acute back pain.) --Joan Price

Editorial Review:

The Atlantic Paranormal Society, also known as T.A.P.S., is the brainchild of two plumbers by day, paranormal investigators by night: Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Their hair-raising investigations, fueled by their unique abilities and a healthy dose of scientific method, have made them the subject of a hit TV show: the SCI FI Channel's Ghost Hunters.

Now their experiences are in print for the first time, as Jason and Grant recount for us, with the help of veteran author Michael Jan Friedman, the stories of some of their most memorable investigations. The men and women of T.A.P.S. pursue ghosts and other supernatural phenomena with the most sophisticated scientific equipment available -- from thermal-imaging cameras to electromagnetic-field recorders to digital thermometers -- and the results may surprise you. Featuring both cases depicted on Ghost Hunters and earlier T.A.P.S. adventures never told before now, this funny, fascinating, frightening collection will challenge everything you thought you knew about the spirit world.

Few Materials -- Little Content 1 out of 5 stars.

Assaraf's Vision Board Kit:
Wow, completely UNDERWHELMED...
This guy is living-off one story about his home, expanding it [to the hilt], running while he's "haute"; offering NO content, NO unique ideas, NO real platform of existing concepts/ ideas...
Don't waste your money; a HUGE disappointment.

I really liked the first 30-seconds of Assaraf [on The Secret], but outside that...he's a poor speaker, appears desperately running to maximize revenue from his only "story", while the overall content just is NOT there.

Assaraf is a Tony Robbins wannabe, with a weak/ no platform. The Vision Kit is a $5 value. If you've seen Assaraf in The Secret -- that's all he's got!

Editorial Review:

A vision board is a powerful tool that anyone can use to shape an ideal future through the power of intention and visualization. Learning how to vividly imagine your desired results--attracting your perfect soul mate, radiant health, abundant career opportunities, or building personal and community relationships to give back--is the first step on the path to making them happen. Break through unconscious, limiting beliefs and get ready to transform your future now. If you can envision it, you're halfway there! This book will explain and walk you through exactly how to create a vision board in conjunction with how to retrain your brain to actually start believing that you can achieve all your goals and dreams. Then, the universe will work its magic! This is a great personal gift and one your friends and family will love.

Editorial Review:

“A welcome change from the sloganeering, political mudslinging and products of spin doctors.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

Based on the NPR series of the same name, This I Believe features eighty Americans—from the famous to the unknown—completing the thought that the book’s title begins. Each piece compels readers to rethink not only how they have arrived at their own personal beliefs but also the extent to which they share them with others.
Featuring many renowned contributors—including Isabel Allende, Colin Powell, Gloria Steinem, William F. Buckley Jr., Penn Jillette, Bill Gates, and John Updike—the collection also contains essays by a Brooklyn lawyer; a part-time hospital clerk in Rehoboth, Massachusetts; a woman who sells yellow pages advertising in Fort Worth, Texas; and a man who serves on Rhode Island’s parole board.
The result is a stirring and provocative trip inside the minds and hearts of a diverse group of people whose beliefs—and the incredibly varied ways in which they choose to express them—reveal the American spirit at its best.

What I Saw In This Book 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 14 people found this review helpful.

Well first of all, God has already inspired a book for us 2000 years ago, called the Bible which was written and dictated in the hearts of man. God didn't speak to anyone audibly, nor did he push a mans pen across a page like satan did in this book using a deceived author.

This book has many satanic elements and tones. If the author really heard from God, it certainly wasn't the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It's funny how satan wants to be God so bad that he literally manifested himself as God in this book. He clearly attempts to influence the masses of unaware people by flip flopping around the bible and twisting scriptures to make them mean what will lure people away from the truth. The book is full of contradictions and many things taken out of context.

Would God tell us that there is no sin? when in fact he sent his son to die to save us from it? Would God use man to write a book that clearly speaks against his own word in another book? Ah, the answer would be "NO".

It is obvious that this author has probably never seen the inside of a bible and is not grounded in the truth of Gods word, because if he was he would have known that the voices he heard couldnt have been that of God.

This book is a fine example of the New Age doctrine that is now deceiving millions and an even greater example as to why we need to be grounded in the Word of God.

Whats even more obvious to me is that in the book, satan jumps around so much that it literally confuses people. He never makes a clear point using one sentence, which will confuse most people and keep them from noticing his deceptive acrobatics.

When the book indicated that we shouldnt be reading the bible, thats when I tossed it in the garbage, where it belongs. People be careful, get grounded in the Word of God. Don't go on other peoples experiences or take thier word for it. Get your own revelation from God, his inspired Word and pray that his spirit will reveal the truth and just be open for it and receptive.

Editorial Review:

Blasphemy! Heresy! Who does this man think he is, claiming to speak directly to God?! Jesus did it, Muhammad did it, the Jewish prophets did it, but none of their Gods had the sardonic wit or raw verve of Prophet Walsch's God. Neale Donald Walsch isn't claiming to be the Messiah of a new religion, just a frustrated man who sat down one day with pen in his hand and some tough questions in his heart. As he wrote his questions to God, he realized that God was answering them... directly... through Walsch's pen. The result, far from the apocalyptic predictions or cultic eccentricities you might expect, turns out to be matter-fact, in-your-face wisdom on how to get by in life while remaining true to yourself and your spirituality.

Editorial Review:

Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.
In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s researching of 12 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are “Living with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,” and “Living by Letting Go.” Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called “Doing the Tao Now.”
Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.
This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, “This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced. I’m so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me.”

Journey of Souls 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've never read anything about where we go between lives. Now the question is answered and it is astounding!!! This book will give you answers, hope, and will make you really think about how you are doing in your life. Read the next one too.

Editorial Review:

Journey of Souls is a controversial yet inspiring investigation of the big question we all face at one point or another: "What happens after we die?" To find the answer, Newton opens cases from his private practice in which he hypnotically regressed his clients to a point between lives--after death, but before birth. Not only does Newton grapple with reincarnation, the spirit world, and the nature of the human soul, he also tackles equally sticky questions such as "Is there a Heaven and Hell?" and "What are ghosts?" Readers with a penchant for skepticism will balk at the lack of physical evidence to back up the claims in Journey of Souls, but the book remains a reassuring voice, affirming that our existence is not limited to the boundaries of our mortal flesh. --Brian Patterson
