Not really a movie or documentary, The Secret is more of a video seminar, a presentation featuring a series of authors, philosophers, doctors, quantum physicists, entrepreneurs, and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret (probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles). What is The Secret, exactly? "That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things," proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, it's The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money, better health, and relationships; in short, happiness. (There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu). Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner, with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly, which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense. On the other hand, the quick edits between presenters (would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time?) don't help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms. To many viewers, this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality. Plus it's somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare (it's well known that some of the historical figures noted didn't exactly live happy or even prosperous lives, despite their achievements). But still, the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone. So what to make of it? In the end, programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message, and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration. Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses. It simply won't resonate with everyone, but if it resonates with you, you're likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne. --Daniel Vancini

Must get 'The Secret' DVD, even if you've read the book! October 2, 2008

If you've read The Secret and loved it as much as I did, then you must get the DVD as well! It basically repeats the book in oral form, quotations are all the same, but it adds tons of visual detail and more story-telling done by the contributors of the book. I was already using The Secret, after reading the book, to manifest small things to sort of 'test' the law of attraction and I must say that I was very impressed at how accurate the 'law' is everytime. After watching the DVD, I'm completely motivated to manifest my dreams which once seemed impossible and too far to reach.
My item arrrived in pristine condition. October 1, 2008
I received exactly what I requested, in a timely manner, and at very reasonable cost.

The book is excellent, the video mediocre at best. I tried to send the book to my children, but the order was filled with DVDs. This seemed strange to me because I ordered "Hardcover" editions. They claim it was my mistake. Not the end of the world. Hugh Looker
The Secret September 30, 2008
I have only viewed one of the 6 disc purchased, there was a slight problem with clarity in one small section of the movie about 4-5 minutes. Otherwise all was OK. Waiting for comments from 5 others that I provided the disc to as gifts.
