The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (2006, Hardcover)

The principles used in the book The Secret aren't as secret as the author would lead you to believe. This information has been around in one form or another and available to all who can read for years. Napoleon Hill wrote his now legendary Think and Grow Rich in the 1930's. The Secret updates these theories and expands on them with clear easy to understand language.

The book is ultimately about teaching us about using our own thoughts to create the kind of life we want. The author gives specific examples about losing weight, making money, health and the power of gratitude. She also touches on personal accountability.

In my opinion, this book is something every single person on this planet could benefit from. I would say that the main message of the book is that we need to take responsibility for our life and what we have done to get where we are. We control our future based on the way we think. If we can grasp that, we humans as a whole can elevate ourselves far above where we are today and only a bright future would remain. I firmly believe that the next revolution will be the Thought Revolution, and this book could be the spark that ignites it.

I recommend this book to anyone tired of the daily grind, anyone looking to become something great, anyone looking for something they haven't found with their own methods, to open this book and your mind. Those who have mastered these techniques have become some of the most wealthy, famous and respected people of our time. Why not duplicate the efforts of the most successful to achieve the same results.
