I purchased the CD although I had been exposed to this way of thinking many times in the past. The suggestion that so many people have known "the secret" and have strived to keep it from the masses was very misleading. So many have tried to bring this knowledge to ordinary people, if not as a way of making money but as a road to happiness or contentment. I have a problem with the money aspect, however I applaud anything that will cause people to think more positively and view life as something to look forward to. The "play it forward" theory. There are many books that one can read, if one is not a reader the CD "The Secret" may just be one way to get the message to them, that what one thinks and how one acts can have a direct impact on the way life treats them.
