"The Secret" has been around for a while now. From my perspective, that book was very simplistic, but it was a good opening exercise for the masses to comprehend the metaphysical elements expressed in the book and DVD (I found the DVD ridiculous in its simplistic treatise).
I have wondered why, on these forums, there is not more discussion of solutions - most of the threads are problem focused (and I have contributed strongly to that perspective, but at the same time would love if people posted how they are coping in positive ways).
