I try not to judge products themselves... Rather, I look at the people who apply them, and see what changes it has made.
In the vast majority of cases, I see people who pre-judge, rather than looking at the actual content. This goes for both sides of the spectrum, from those who are entirely against The Secret to those who swear by its every word.
It's a product, which means that it is meant to be sold. I can't fault it there, because it is serving its purpose. It is an introduction to the creativity of consciousness, and in that respect, as long as it is getting publicity, either good or bad, it can not fail. It isn't perfect, but since it is serving its purposes, it isn't a bad thing either.
About the content of The Secret, I remain skeptical... It could work, but it may not... there are simply too many variables in life to tell. I think the idea of polarizing your decisions does the exact same thing with results that are far easier to measure... but I can't tell if conscious creationism causes polarization, or if polarization causes conscious creationism.
I'm going to take the scientific approach and say that it may, or it may not... I don't have enough data yet.
