I had no idea the title would stir up discussion about it.

I fairly much agree with some of the replies in relation to The Secret being nothing new.

The information uncovered about the author is interesting, and it may be worth knowing for anyone who may be considering parting money to this fellow for any products he is trying to push.

I personally did not like some of the exercises. They did not feel right for me. At the time, i took it that perhaps his teaching style did not my match my learning style.
However, having said that, with an open mind i tuned in to find what information as being useful for me at the time, and left the rest. I have only listened to 3 sections, and do not feel drawn to listen to the rest. What I found useful was nothing new under the sun, but more of a reminder and reforming understanding that I have previously come across. So from that perspective it was useful to me.

I do not see it conducive to expend energy in condemning or dwelling on the values or actions of his which are not aligned with my own, because then that becomes part of me and that is not what i want to live. I can expend my energies into becoming who i want to be. I can listen, take in and work with the pieces that are useful to me and move on. I have not perfected that, but that is what i see as right for me at this time.
