The Secret
Updated: Aug 4, 2020
In our daily lives we oftentimes encounter the phenomena of “you attract what you want” or the “law of attraction”. What is it really?
In the 21st century it is even more touched upon in the pursuits of success and that “you attract what you envision”. Even in entrepreneurial businesses leaders have this mindset to strive beyond their limitations. More motivational speakers have highlighted this phenomenon and the accuracy of its general truth, such as Anthony Robbins or Eric Thomas. They emphasize, despite challenges and struggles, that when you want something bad enough, there is no limit to your capabilities of making it happen. And this is exactly what Rhonda Byrne wanted to simply lift up with this easy read and encapsulating book.
Rhonda used to be an Australian television producer before writing this book. She found her inspiration when reading “The Science of Getting Rich” written in 1910 by Wallace D. Already at that time in history this encouragement to make things happen existed. She discovered the art of how positive thinking and the “law of attraction” leads to massive success. Therefore, she started to research more in this topic and ended up writing a simple guide to have a successful life in her opinion.
Her research showed that men of higher rank knew about this law such as Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Ludwig van Beethoven or Bob Proctor. They either learned to master it or they were driven by an inner force or desire to succeed. You can read more about how desire is described in Napoleon Hills book “How to win friends and influence people” right HERE.
When The Secret was released it got a lot of attention, and critics raised their perspectives emphasizing that the book is directing people towards materialism. However, people are free in where they want to implement the given information. The interesting aspect of this book is in the 21st century! This mentality is being adapted in the entrepreneurial world and these entrepreneurs are leaders of change in the world of today.
When reading this book, we recommend you to read a chapter at a time and really spend some time to reflect about it. Do not take it for granted immediately or read through it. And do not read it expecting immediate changes. We recommend you to read with the approach to learn the art of thinking in order to have the courage to enter the road of challenges towards making your dreams come true. Because YOU too, can actualize your dreams. To make it easier we felt, while reading this book, that this is a perfect go-to-bed book. Read one chapter at a time before making yourself ready to bed and sleep.
We hope you enjoy the reading and adapt the knowledge provided.
Remember: Read to learn, not to expect.
