I was reading a USA Today about this book. Has anyone heard about this book? It is supposed to be a great book that has a DVD counterpart. Any reviews? I might check it out to see what the fuss is about.

Anyone know people that have read it?

I woke up in the middle of the night, and Oprah was talking to the authors. Normally, I would have switched the channel in seconds, but something about the show caught my attention. I drifted off, and had kind of forgot about it until I saw your post. I was impressed, and think it might be worth reading.

I heard a radio commercial about it with Oprah talking about this oh so wonderful book.

I went to amazon.com to see what it's all about and from what I read there it seems like it's one of those "think positive and positive things will happen to you" kind of book.

Not sure though....

This quote comes from one of Amazon's user reviews of the book/film and was enough to make me never want to give this author money.

She also states that those who experience widespread calamity (tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, famine, diseases like AIDS, etc.) experience it because they are "vibrating" in exact alignment with these disasters (such as thinking they could be in the wrong place at the wrong time). I'd like to see Ms. Byrne walk amidst the AIDS suffers in Africa or those in Louisiana who survived Hurricane Katrina and say those things. Oh, wait! That's right. According to her we shouldn't OBSERVE such nasty things. PuhLEEZE! Honey, you can vibrate at a high level, with love and compassion, and NOT be "negative"--and still offer solace, encouragement and aid. Hell, even Mother Theresa and her amazing work with the lepers was featured in the film! Duh! This kind of stupidity and coldness is what turns people off to the law of attraction. Maybe THAT is why more people "don't know about it", Ms. Byrne--because The Secret has been tainted by egos like yours instead of left alone to speak for itself! Maybe The Secret has not been hidden, only ignored, because of the chilling narcissism that gets thrown in the mix--contradicting the very wisdom traditions (like the New Testament) that you conveniently hijack to prove the law of attraction!

I see. If anything, I will just read it at Barnes & Noble if I am bored one day. Won't get my money either.

If Orca, uh Oprah promotes it I automatically reject it. My wife on the other hand....
