You may not be surprised to learn I think incredibly lowly of this book.
The book has also been heavily criticized by former believers and practitioners, with some going as far as claiming that "The Secret" was conceived by the author and that the only people generating wealth and happiness from it are the author and the publishers.

Jesper de Jong wrote:The Secret only works for the writers of the book - they are getting incredibly rich from people who desparately want to believe in the idea. Ofcourse, it sounds very attractive: you just have to wish for something and "the universe" will help you get it. In reality, it is just childish and foolish wishful thinking that ofcourse does not really work, despite what you say.

Explain to me how this theory can be tested in ANY way to verify it works. Until you provide EVIDENCE, I will consider it nothing more than another scam on poor, unsuspecting people.
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

It's not that I believe it does NOT work...
it is that there is no evidence it DOES work. Evidence, to a skeptic, is a very precise thing. A person saying "well, it worked for ME" is NOT evidence, but an anecdote. After enough anecdotes are collected, an experiment can be designed. To be a valid experiment, it must be a double-blind study with proper controls.
To the best of my knowledge, no such experiment has been done on this phenomenon.
Since you are making extraordinary claims that seem to defy the currently known laws of the universe, the burden of proof is on you.

sumedha rao wrote:dude please read the first post i made on this thread..the website itself has a lot of evidences..if that is not enough you can find ways to get connected with people who intentionally use the law,let me tell you everyone uses the law,knowingly or unknowingly,its always there..if you still want evidences there are books that speak indeapth about the law and even the science behind it(book name:power of your subconcious mind)..if you youtube search a bit,you will still find many EVIDENCES!!
and mind you what do you mean by "extraordinary claims"?? all that i said is a fact..its only that the crowd is not right..I AM NOT SCANDALIZING anything or anybody..
every religion teaches you to have faith,to believe,to let go..am i talking to all atheists here!?!?
you need to try it yourself to make it work for you...i am not forcing anyone to believe in it,there is great diversity in everything that you believe,im just asking you to atleast give it a try,there's nothing to loose,if you dont want to,then fine,let go!!why do you need to argue so muchHow can you be so sure that what's in The Secret is really true?
Then you talk about religion. Is The Secret a religion? Why should anyone believe in it as if it is a religion?
yes i doDo you really believe that when you wish something hard enough, no matter what it is, it will come true?
its because i have been practicing it since a few months..and its been working for me!!And why exactly do you believe that?
