Secret


I read some reviews about this book online and my roommate and her friend made a big deal about this book. So finally when i got a chance I got this book from NY Public Library. Being already over burdened by some books (i was reading Blink and had the next book from Shashi Tharoor in my hand) I really wanted to have a quick and light read.

I started this book on a train ride to NY. I read a couple of pages and I thought "Oh! okay someone is talking about positive thinking in a little bit (or very) exaggerated way!".. I decided to continue reading and the book started going deeper into universal 'law of attraction' and that this was a "Secret" and now I am a part of this secret! I was a little skeptical about this and how this "common sense" was a "secret" was not making much sense. The books says: The law of attraction demands only this:
  1. Know what you want and ask the universe for it.
  2. Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.
  3. Be open to receiving it.
By the first point i was wondering what I want to ask to the universe. So i thought how about a car ;-) . So then point 2 was meaningless cause I could not behave as thought I already owned a car! After all i cant start giving exuses to my friend ki "yaar traffic mein phas gayi" :P. So then be open to receiving it was ofcourse! i'm always open to such tarakki in standard of living :)

Anyhow, I think this book is for people who need to have a session in +ve thinking or are going through depression. Unfortunately, the person who walks every step with a jump and is smiling on a subway needs something different.

My Rating: 2.5/10
(Note: This is my personal belief... i do not believe common sense is a secret.. but i do believe common sense is not common!)
