 The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

You probably heard about this book or at least the movie of the same title. It is based on the very popular recently concept of the law of attraction and claims that positive thinking can create life-changing results. Increased happiness, health, and wealth would be your gains if you put in action some changes in your life.

Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in literature,in the oral traditions, religions and philosophies throughout the past centuries. This book tries to pull all of the pieces of secret together and show you to apply it to different aspects of your life.

The book teaches you to understand the hidden powers within you and the way you can put them to work for you. The lessons are delivered by the great self- development teachers, people who showed by their life that the principles they believe in are working for them very well.

I found the book (and the movie too) very uplifting. It confirmed for me the idea of the special power every each of us has within and can tap to, to bring life success, joy and happiness.I would summarize main ideas as: attracting things you are thinking of the most, working on gratitude and positive thinking, expecting good to come in your life- this all will bring you successful life.

Few quotes:

“Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them.” 

“When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires… Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for. Act as if you are receiving it. Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expectation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.”

“You become what you think about most… But you also attract what you think about most. (John Assaraf) ”
