I'm a pretty pragmatic person with a healthy dose of skepticism who has still gotten a lot out of The Secret. It showed me that I have a choice as to what I can think about (i.e., good stuff or bad). It also gave me the EGS which a fantastic tool. It also showed me that like most people I was really thinking most of the time about what I don't want. In addition, it made me get a gratitude rock and start my visualization again on a daily basis.
For all this I am deeply grateful.
However, I could have done without all the fake doctors, Joe Vitale, and the Feng Shui woman (groan). This stuff made me avoid telling others about the film.

Lottery winners who were good at managing their money before winning do well with their windfall. They invest it, save it, and donate portions to good causes.
Conversely, the losers who can't manage their money always blow their winnings away. There was a recent story in the media about some fool who won about 230 million dollars a few years ago and was now filing for bankruptcy. I kid you not.
