Now that the "The Secret" has been promoted on "The Oprah Show" it's principles will certainly reach and impact a wider cross section of people. I will admit that it was only after watching Oprah initial show about The Secret that I went out and brought both the Book and DVD. Prior to that I was not aware that the idea of The Secret had take the Internet by storm and was now doing the same with the book and DVD release.
The truth is, I can remember picking up the book several times in various book stores long before watching the Oprah show in February, 2007; the last time being at least thrice during December, 2006. I didn't buy the book then because I had forbidden myself from buying any new books since I have quiet a few I am yet to read.
But Oprah had spoken and like many others I responded.
However to my surprise the content of both the book and DVD is the same, so now I and re-reading the book sometimes and watching the DVD over and over when I am lazy to read the book. I have no disappointment with the content either way. Unlike the many critics of "The Secret" I find it revealing and timely. I will quickly follow that up by saying that it is true that most of what is explore and put forward in "The Secret" seem very familar to me and is clearly nothing new.
The above said I cannot understand why there are some folk that insisting that it is nothing new as if by saying that it will take away from the credibility of what's the purpose of "The Secret". Which is -- as I see it and view it to be - REVEAL and MAKE AVAILABLE to the MASSES an UNIVERSAL Principle that when consciously embrace can be life changeing.
