Helpful Score: 6

Unless the big secret is common sense, then this book will not impart wisdom or inspiration. All it will do is make your wallet a little lighter. Someone made a lot of money off this book and it is not the readers themselves.

I believed in the power of positive thinking before reading this book and the annoying "get rich" theme highlighted throughout the book insulted and annoyed me. As if that is the ultimate goal (certainly shows where their hearts and minds are though).

I wish I would have listened to the bookstore owner when I asked where I could find a book I saw on Oprah. He chuckled a bit to himself and said "Oh you mean the secret; the book we couldn't get rid of until it showed up on Oprah". He then went on to say that the best secret and imparted wisdom he could share with me was that if ever there was a grandious secret to life, they wouldn't be peddling it out on Oprah and bookstores for just $9.99 (with a 20% off sticker on it's cover). I think I would have been wiser and richer to have listened to his wisdom. =) Live and Learn.
