subject: Review: The Secret By Rhonda Byrne - Law Of Attraction [print this page] The Secret by Rhonda Byrne was a life changing book for me. Normally, I never buy books in a bookstore, nor do I read them right away. But there was something different about this one.
My husband and I went on our first date (Valentine's Day 2009) since our son was born in May 2008. We went for an early dinner, went over and got our movie tickets, but still had time before the show, so we went over to the bookstore that was right there.
I went to my favorite section, New Age, and was browsing through the books. My eyes kept falling on the book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Finally, I picked it up and read the back cover and then put it down. Kept browsing, but still kept coming back to that book. I was just drawn by it for some reason. It kept wanting me to pick it up and buy it.
Like I said previously, I normally never buy in the bookstore and pay full price. I usually make note of it and then go buy it on Amazon. However, this one would not let me put it down, kept insisting that I buy it and buy it now. I've also had a tendency not to listen to my intuition and later regretted it. So, I listened, and I bought it.
Now, sometimes, I also will buy a book, get home, and then just put it on the bookshelf to read later. Not with this one. I started reading it as soon as we got home. I wasn't even finished with it yet, and I hopped on Amazon, bought myself the DVD that goes with it, and bought a few copies of the book to send to friends. I had never in my life been so compelled to share something with others like this. But I knew... I knew it could help them, as it was helping me.
Just some examples of what happened when I changed my thinking from negative to positive... I was having a not so great time at my job... things were sliding. When I changed my thinking to positive, when I started asking for the things that I wanted, like appreciation, I started getting it. I was getting more thank yous and atta boys and even awards. I also was wanting more attention and love in my relationship with my husband, and I got more cuddle time and love in my relationship. These aren't things that I asked for out loud to the people, these are just ways that I changed my thinking and asked for the things that I wanted, as outlined in the book. The Law of Attraction most definitely works!
This book was such a pivotal point in my life and such a game changer that I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting more out of life but not sure how to get it. Gives adage to the old saying, Ask and ye shall receive. It might not be a one stop book, but it is definitely a good start on your path to positive personal development.
