If you've not heard, The Secret is one of the hottest topics in America, having been featured on Larry King, and more recently, Oprah Winfrey devoted two full episodes to exploring this emerging phenomena. Books stores are having a difficult time keeping the materials in stock - the book, the DVD and the audio tape. "The Secret" is based on the Law of Attraction. If you've not heard this before, the Law of Attraction simply states that 'like attracts like", so therefore you thoughts are magnets, and good or bad, attract things into your life.

Ever since Oprah featured, "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne on her show, the whole concept has been taking quite a few shots.  The media has chimed in with it's negatives.  I have heard television evangelist funneling criticism and piling on with the negatives as well.  Why does this idea seem to inspire so much dialogue and attract so much criticism?  Isn't what is being said a good thing? 

I believe that when we encourage people to do something better about their lives, that's a positive step in the right direction.  "The Secret" moves us towards doing something better for ourselves.  Based on the law of attraction, "The Secret" encourages us to send out positive energy of the life that we want to have.  In a sense, it tells us that 'we get what we give'.
