"Think positive, be positive" "if you think negatively and expect failure you will get it" All things that were told to me by teachers or I read in the required reading throughout school. The book just expands on it, but I dont find that it neccesarilly speaks to anything that is groundbreaking.

I never stated I knew everything either, and I'm truely sorry if something i said offended you enough to state that about me, but I was merely stating my opinion of the book, not the people who read it, heck I read it too. I just came away from it with a different opinion then most. I was expecting so much more from the book & felt like i was let down reading things that I had already thought up myself (not to the same degree of course but same principles).

I found I came away with more life lessons in books such as:
The 48 Laws of Power
The Art of Seduction
The Prince
The game
Huananzi
Book of Five Rings

Again sorry if I offended you by my earlier post, it wasn't my intention.

I was not offended (remember I'm reading the secret) That's a negative feeling. I was amused on how fast you were to "judge" this book...Did it really not help you? I respect your opinion Casa Nova. I'm happy you're part of Xnations I always enjoy reading your posts! Oh and you're still going to work that kissing booth in Montreal right?
