Well, I can see his point. "The Secret" is pretty shallow and poorly presents the very deep concepts it's trying to explain. In my opinion, "The Secret" is pretty crappy. It's overproduced and lacks substance, and the book version is poorly written.

Well, I've read a lot of Chopra's books, and he's calling "The Secret" ridiculous. He's not saying the idea of reality creation is ridiculous. He couldn't, because he knows better.

Agreed.
In my opinion, "The Secret" is to reality creation what Britney Spears is to music. It's lightweight, shallow, and more sizzle than steak. It's very visually appealing, yes, but it hasn't got much substance. It's no wonder people laugh at it (or take pictures of it going out to a club with no underpants, though I'm pretty sure "The Secret" hasn't done that; I do wonder if those infamous photos of Britney were the manifestation of millions of drooling fans' fantasies...

BTW, I love your user name.
