major_kerinaThe short version - I think I can! I think I can! I think I can! I think I can! *wait for it to show up*
Basically it surmises that if you mentally focus on a goal, no matter how impossible the goal might seem, if you focus a positive attitude and determination on it, then it will come to you. Thoughts determine your destiny. The Law of Attraction as a brand. Largely, it is a huge, stinking pile of crap (The Secret, not Law of Attraction). I mean it's good to have a good attitude, good for the body and whatnot. But it says that your thought rays of wanting something draws it to you (some New Agey twist on it). It's just a means of self-motivation and realizing. If you just think of wanting something and sit there thinking it all the time...it will be like trying to fish by sitting on the shore and willing the fish to jump into your lap. One time in a million it might actually happen, but really...you're wasting you time. Get a fishing pole and put some work into what you want to achieve.
PS - and the fact this "Secret" crap will not fall off Amazon's best-seller list is certifiable proof that 85 percent of people are sheep. Just like the Chimera Sheep which was recently made which was 85 percent sheep and 15 percent human (see link - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7681252/ )
So in short - The Secret = Positive Thinking will give you anything you ask for, even spontaneous boobs (which I'm torn about but still I must admit...) = Snake Oil
But I'm much more amenable to the Law of Attraction but "The Secret" is tainting its reputation with pseudo-science.
