The tenth-anniversary edition of the book that changed lives in profound ways, now with a new foreword and afterword.

In 2006, a groundbreaking feature-length film revealed the great mystery of the universe—The Secret—and, later that year, Rhonda Byrne followed with a book that became a worldwide bestseller.

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.

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."

Omg, just NO

While positive thinking and believing in yourself/health/happiness/goals/and dreams are indeed important, I was thoroughly irritated by this book. To sum it all up it’s focuses on “thinking” about something consistently and passionately enough to bring that desired thing into fruition. That’s like telling a starving family in a third world country to “think” about food long enough and the universe will provide it.

Life Changing Book

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

I read this about 10 years ago when it was first released. It was interesting but I put it away and didn't think of it again until recently. Many changes happened in my life over the past ten years. My father suffered a long illness and passed. My mother has been ill. I too became ill, I believe to be caused by stress. These events were definitely life changing. I saw the book and decided to read it again. I think I was at a stage in my life that I could truly appreciate this book more. I can honestly say it has made a significant impact on the way I live my life. I am now reading another book in the series and am applying it every day. I am happier than I have ever been. I highly recommend these books.

Greed gets a mystical makeover

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

O watched the film version on Netflix and thought the book would delve more deeply into the law of attraction. Turns out the entire franchise is nothing more than a brilliant marketing campaign. I will definitely give them that. After the book, all I was left with was the sad realization that the Law of attraction really is just that: a mystical makeover for greed. If you just concentrate hard enough in the shiny material things you want, they'll magically and effortlessly gravitate to you... Somehow!

Not a "secret", but inspiring nonetheless!

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I put off reading this book for years, convinced there was no "secret", but probably something already revealed in the Scriptures. I was right about the latter, but wrong to have delayed in reading it. As I read, I took notes of where the message was also recorded in the Scriptures. It was a wonderful way of reinforcing what I had known and convinced me to do a better job of living out the Scriptures. I needed this and now was the best time to dive in and embrace this reminder that my life was missing my participation. I had been a mere reader and not a doer. Christ was beckoning me to "only believe" and He sent Rhonda Byrne and "The Secret" to shake me from my slumber and reignite my fire for an abundant life. I've got the message, loud and clear; and I'm grateFULL!

The secret changed my life in 3 days, from being totally and utterly involved with negativity about the cards life dealt me, I was changed to believing in myself, being positive and fulfilled. I always knew that life held more in store for me, I just did not understand what. As I sit here today, this is the second time in my life that i was reduced from riches to dirt poor. This time the failure knocked me spiritually into a mode which was self destructive. How to recover was the question, how do I lift myself out of this mess. I read the secret, and I can tell you this without hesitation, failure is only in the mind. I feel ready to take the world on and collect what is mine!!!

Really makes you look at how you see the world

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2018

When I first heard about this, I wasn't sure what to think. It sounded a little hokey, to be honest, but then I started reading it and that changed. This book makes you really look at how you see the world and your thoughts about it. You really can change everything. If you're floundering or struggling, read this book. Seriously, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Can be summed up in 2 words “think positive” or “be happy”. It lost all credibility when it said multiple times that the secret works EVERY TIME for EVERYONE and thus if it doesn’t it’s because you’re not BELIEVING in the Secret enough.

Try it. What do you have to lose?

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2016

When I first began to read this book I honestly thought it was a crock and a waste of my time and money. I started with an expectation of what I thought the book was about and the style of writing that I should expect. When I initially disagreed with one of the authors viewpoint with in the book and scrutinized another's personal life through research I was almost stop reading, but I decided to continue reading anyway. I made a wise decision to.

I had heard about the law of attraction before, but never took the time to investigate what it truly meant. As the book unraveled and began to reveal "The Secret," and how to apply it into my life immediately, I allowed myself to be open in receiving whatever insight I could in order to help me overcome several difficulties in my life and achieve a better quality of life overall.

By the middle of the book I chose to practice some of the techniques that were briefly described through the text just to try it out. For the past 3 weeks I have had pain in the middle of my back. I had even recently gone to a chiropractor to help alleviate my symptoms, which only worked temporarily. The moment I tried the technique of closing my eyes, clearly my mind, and speaking affirmations of confidence and healing something changed. I did not realize the pain in the middle of my pain, which I had been experiencing for weeks, was gone until about 5-10 minutes later when I stopped to stretch. I am not a blogger, I do not receive free books, or any type of compensation for this or any review I ever write. I also am usually one to dispel instant claims of miraculous effects occurring just from reading a text or saying a chant, so when I tell you my pain left and has not been back since I am shocked in a way. I still am secretly wondering when the pain will reappear, but by the continuation of applying the law I highly doubt it will. From that moment I figured if it's that easy then I wonder what life will be like once I apply it to every area of my life.

By the end of the book and my own personal testament, I was hooked. This is a life changing book and I see why it has sold millions and millions of copies around the world. It really works if you apply and believe. After previewing The Power and The Magic, I intend to read those two as well. This has easily become one of my all-time favorite books and I highly recommend it. Just try it. What do you have to lose?

I bought this after it was recommended by a friend. She told me about its cult-like following and how it could change my life etc etc.
I read half of it and can only assume that my friend has in fact lost her mind.

This book is all about self help, selfishness and Getting what you want. The supposed "Law of Attraction" basically says think good thoughts and good will happen - what a pile of rubbish!
If you are looking for some good guidance on how to live life DO NOT buy this! I sent mine back for a refund in disgust!
You've been warned.

Keeps you positive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

All my life I have struggled to hold a job, keep a woman and to gain friendships. I have autism and so I was an easy target for bullies of both genders not just at school, but also in the Workplace. I simply did not fit in and still don't fit in anywhere.

So I got this book and now I am trying to apply what it says to my life. I don't want millions of pounds or anything fancy, but I do want what everyone else has a loving Wife, Car, and Home to call my own.

These I believe by the scope of this book are achievable and realistic goals that I am setting myself. So it remains to be seen if this book truly can do what it says it can.

After reading a couple of chapters so far all I can see is a brilliant book to teach you how to feel good in yourself. To make yourself feel happy even when sad and depressed. That alone is worth more than any amount of millions. There are plenty of millionaires that are not happy at all and struggled to make more millions which in turn makes them just as miserable.

This book teaches you how to look at your emotions and thoughts and feelings and change your thinking to a better place. If you are looking for a load of quick results then don't bother. This book will teach you how to make yourself feel good about yourself and in turn, attract good things to you, but remember good things come to those who wait. If you cant then you won't get.

As books go this is old news now, but I got it for 6 pounds second hand, hardback and in good condition. For me, it is not worth the 14 pounds brand new price, but each to their own. There are many different books since using the same techniques, but with clearer examples.

If you expect to become a rich person after this book, then you may become one, but remember as the book says you need to really believe you already have the money and already are rich.

I will update this if my life changes and I do get a job and get a nice woman in my life. I will update this if I do get that house and what every average person has. I will not set a time limit, but as I reach my goals I will update this review.

WE ARE WHAT WE THINK

Reviewed in India on August 23, 2018

The book is of excellent quality, I wish all other books of paperback should be like this with affordable price.
About the content in the book-
All that we are is the result of what have thought. We are made of our thoughts; we are moulded by our thoughts. The above was a meaning of shloka from bhagavadgita. Buddha,swami Vivekananda are also some of great humans whose teachings tells us that the essence of human was his thoughts. THIS BOOK IS A GOOD ONE which tells us about law of attraction that repeated thoughts about what we want will create a force of attraction which attracts our goal towards us.
Because our thoughts become our words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits led you to your destiny.
