"The Secret" isn’t real?

One of the many benefits of my profession is getting the real privilege of intersecting with many thousands of people each year. It allows me to get a pulse of what people are excited about, worried about, what they’re reading, and much more.

I was amazed last year when I heard so many otherwise seemingly intelligent people embracing Rhonda Byrne’s book The Secret. The more I heard the more I couldn’t believe that people were buying into it.

It eventually led to me writing the book Shining the Light on The Secret.

Though there’s reduced buzz about The Secret, it nonetheless remains #2 on the New York Times Best-Seller for hardcover advice books. So it brought some pleasure to read Richard Roeper’s piece in today’s Chicago Sun-Times about “The Secret Conspiracy.”

Enjoy.
