Review: The Secret

Title : The Secret
Author : Rhonda Byrne
Category : Self-Development

Overview
It is the book that shows how our life is in our own control. The Secret works in the way as how placebos work in healing people. The main difference is the 'placebo' that heals every aspects in an individual life is MIND.

Any good things that this world can offer - Love, Perfect Carreer, Wealth, Health, Happiness - can be achieved easily, when you start to think positively- that nothing is impossible and it can be easily obtained. As it is applied in good things, it applies in the bads as well. Hence, it's up to us to make the choice in our life.

Every big figure in history; Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, Hugo, Beethoven, Lincoln, Emerson, Edison, and Einsten, aware of the existence of this secret and tried to convey it to the world through their works. Even, the man in the top list of the world now, such as: Hendry Ford, knows how The Secret works.
It means, The Secret has been already there for us to find it and dig it out.

The Secret Formula [Ask + Believe + Accept]

Opinions
I might rate it as a five-stars book. Whatever inside this book can be easily applied in life. Some opinions stated that it cannot fully be accepted. By the time they said it, The Secret is already working. Whether you believe it or not, The Secret is still working.

I, myself, find this is very realistic. It always depends on what one is thinking. Everything they have in their mind reflects how one will be. Therefore, mind is the thing that we must control. Then, other supportive things, such as; positive feeling, determination, come in the way in realizing The real Secret.

One of my favorite quotes from this book is a quote from Mother Theresa. She stated that "I will not attend a Anti-War Campaign. If you have a Peace Campaign, invite me..."
It shows how mother theresa undertands well The Secrets' effects.

We can see in the society now on how anti-drugs, anti-war, anti-... will Never work. Every people who go down to the street for those campaigns might need to go through a "Reveal The Secret" Seminar, in order to make their efforts paid and bring changes to the world.

May this book bring good things to you and Peace to the World =)
