My impression of The Secret is that it's got the potential to rip off a lot of desperate, ignorant people who want it to be their magic source of easy money.
I do like the idea of thinking positive and being responsible for your own happiness, and such, but when they tell people that it's like having a Genie granting your wishes, they've gone too far.

I've been checking out a few sites related to The Secret, and it's appalling how niave and greedy people can be! Some will announce that they've won the lottery (in advance of the drawing) thinking if they "believe they will recieve" and some have quit jobs expecting their faith in the Law of attraction to support them with no effort on their part! I find that really disturbing. A few have fixated to attracting a specific mate for themselves and seem to be stalking these people hounding them with their confidence that if they want them, surely they will have them! It's all too creepy for me.

I found the mood elevating part beneficial, but on the downside, see many people who are becoming deeply disturbed because they can't manifest all their wishes by using the prescribed thought processes and end up thinking there's something wrong with them that it's not working.

It's worth reading if you're curious and know up front that some of it is just isn't what it's painted to look like. However, I've read that there are camps for kids to learn the LOA and all sorts of high priced seminars and such that lure people in and are being labled as rip offs. So I wouldn't suggest it for anyone who is highly gullible or desperate for an easy fix.
