This is one of my favorite books!

An all time self improvement classic. The visualization techniques were based on Victor Frankl's survival techniques he developed while in a concentration camp during WWII.

Glad you mentioned it!

Seriously. Wow.

ok. say I have a Jug of milk.
If I believe this jug of milk will grant me wishes if I believe strongly enough then:

If my wish comes true, then the Jug of Milk worked! All praise the great Jug of Milk.

If my wish didn't come true, then "oh no", I wasn't wishing hard enough and had "negative vibes" destroying my chances. I should try again till it works. When it does work, then obvious the great Jug of Milk is what caused my wish to come true!

The Secret is bullshit. It can "work" by getting you to focus on a goal, but think it's taking credit where none is due (oh also, taking your money too.).

The Secret is all about positive thinking and positive action. If you put those two together, you will have a greater chance of reaching your goals.

Positive thinking and positive action to back up your thinking.....
