El Secreto / the Secret

This best-selling book on the law of attraction promises guidance toward a life of health, wealth, love, and happiness through the power of positive thinking. The myriad contributors, including Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor, emphasize the "magnetic" nature of our thoughts, where thinking positively will attract good things to one's life almost automatically. Some may find this mindset empowering, though the reverse is also said to be true, whereby the greatest human tragedies, personal or en masse, are brought about by negative thinking. The book invokes the great names from a canonical list of scientists, philosophers, and writers as carriers of The Secret, and claims their success stemmed from that knowledge. Einstein and Buddha are made to chime in next to frequent advice and encouragement from the contributors. "Secret Summaries" at the end of each chapter provide comprehensive study guides for quick reference and review. (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved All rights reserved.
