I'm not defending the incentives behind The Secret or the incentives behind Oprah doing what she has done. That is there agenda, and there is no way to know what their real motives are. Are they in it for the money first, or for helping people? Who knows.
I do know that I just did an article where I rank the
Best Free Sites for learning about the power of thought and the law of attraction. None of the people featured on The Secret (James Ray, Bob Proctor, Lisa Nichols...) had websites that made the list. Their websites were "More Selling than Telling". You can take from that what you want.
(Steve Pavlina's site however ranked among the Best of the Best.
