The Secret...is it really?

I've been hearing so much about this book "The Secret" and thought "ok another self-help book that is so big like 7 habits but that I will find so boring!". I ended up reading it since so many people were praising it so much that my curiosity got the better of me. To my surprise, I was right! It was an easy read but never has a book taken me so long to finish. To me, it didnt say anything new. Think positively and you'll get positivity, think negatively, and you'll get negativity. Hmmm...ok. Want a car? Just really think it, and you'll get it, somehow some way...Hmmm, really? Some thoughts were new and interesting but they were embedded in the middle of alot of repetitive paragraphs all saying the same thing. The writer was OVER selling the whole concept to a point that it wasn't very believable. I was struggling to find a new anything in between the constant explanations of the exact same argument. So would I recommend it...well read the summaries given for each chapter (yes, even after all the repeating during the chapter, it just had to be summarized AGAIN at the end) and you'll get the main tips and tricks :) I am sure that if anyone lives by "the secret" they will definately have a happier and more fulfilling life, but I just dont think of it as a "secret" really...been there done that
