Personally, I am less than impressed with The Secret, and similar efforts. The hyping of abundance philosophies undermines the real path to enlightenment. I'm saddened that people prey on others by appealing to their greed. The Secret is no secret at all, and why it is lining the pockets of merely clever marketers truly disturbs me. Even subtle attempts to spread the word for free are squelched, no doubt to guard their ill-gotten gains. What a sorry world we have become, all in the name of betterment
