The reason why I'm not going to critique Wabi-Sabi's and Kellyrued's critiques is that the same points have been extensively discussed in older threads on this forum. Wabi-Sabi, Kellyrued, if you're really interested, you can dig those up.

"The Secret" is a gross oversimplification, yes, and the real secret is a lot more complex and layered. But yeah, for mass commercial success, I guess you do have to take the approach of gross oversimplification, and throw in some hype and glitz and eye-catching graphics.

For WabiSabi and Kellyrued, I only want to say this - be very, very careful not to dismiss the real secret, simply because of the way "The Secret" has explained or discussed it. Because you'd be missing out on a lot.
