What a load of re-hashed crap.

“The Secret” is a telemovie produced by Rhonda Byrne, and Australian producer with Channel 9. Here’s a brief Herald Sun article about it.

Now, get past the funny science and illogical philosophical proofs, and there is a gem of substance beneath it all. Unfortunately Rhonda Byrne has taken some simple positive thinking, positive reinforcement and goal setting tools and manipulated them into a money spinning sensation to fund her retirement.

I’ll write a bit more about the gems in this doco some other time. This quote sums up the essence of the telemovie:

Not too much searching online reveals that the movie is part of an elaborate advertising campaign to get people interested in working with the various “teachers” it features. Just like What the Bleep is a recruitment vehicle for Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, The Secret is an infomercial for its talking heads. On a purely business level, it’s brilliant. Too bad this is the last thing it’s target audience actually needs.
