The seminal work on all of this was done by Napolean Hill and published in Think And Grow Rich. If you can get a copy of that book, you can learn most of what is in The Secret, even though the interviews are all with people who are long dead. (So is Mr. Hill, I might add.) I've got tapes of Mr. Hill reading his book, but his voice is so cartoonish that it is difficult to listen to. However, his program has been redone by http://www.nightingale.com/p~Product~Think_Grow_Rich_Napoleon_Hill.asp with a different reader and while it isn't as slick and have the multi-media wizz-bang of The Secret, it is much more thorough.lacychef said:My director introduced me to this book....have you all read or heard of it?

I used to think that way, too. If you're driving to San Francisco, and run out of gas outside Cheyenne, is it the end of the trip to San Francisco or just a temporary set-back on the long drive?pcchris said:I'm reading it right now...it's interesting, but it's going to be difficult to put into action with me personally. I have tried the positive outlook, and thinking or saying that this will happen and that will happen, because if it doesn't, then you just feel like a failure. I had my positive energy last week 3 days before my show...said I was going to get 2 bookings and 1 recruit lead from that show, and guess what?!?!?!? NOTHING! So, I'm in the bummed out mode now. I'll get over it...I always do. sometimes I just need to have my own pity party. It's always a short lived party though...so that's good.
Whoops! I tried...I've been seeing this and thinking about looking into it...I'm really a pretty positive person, one of those pollyana types, but every now and then I get in a bit of a funk...MandyK said:That quote is from Stuart Smalley. Jack Handey ddi "Deep Thoughts..."
No matter who's book you read, there are two important rules to remember:lacychef said:Thanks for all your words of wisdom KG I do think that positive thinking can get you what you want; I look at some people I know that are so negative at life, and only negative things happen to them.
There are some things in the book that are a little "out there", but for the most part I'm finding it really good.
mistym said:I am reading the book for the SECOND time as I have found it has really helped me out. I use positive thinking techniques everyday and not only do I find it really puts a better spin on my mood and outlook, it really does bring me better fortune.
I tested it on a show which when I left was just over $200.00. I sent my message out that I wanted this show too close at $600.00. I thought it was a bit of a stretch but not impossible. A few days went by and low and behold peoples moms called in orders, people who couldn't make the show called in orders as well as a few others who just "randomly" thought they needed something. My show....closed at $614.00. Coincidence? Personally I don't think so, I have always thought that you make your own luck, so I am happy I found the Secret. I also asked for a solution to my tight budget now that I am not returning too full time work and at the time I was looking for a child too babysit...who calls me? A friend I worked with years ago who has a three year old in need of a babysitter...
The Book has really helped me out and needless to say I will be using the Laws of Attraction for recruiting, high sales shows, health, wealth and whatever else I dream up!
I am your typical cynic who has never owned a self help book in her life! The Secret is not your run-of-the-mill self help book, but more like a guide to bringing more positivity into your life and those around you!
Anyway, thats just my two cents...any other Secret Fans out there
