Product Description:
The Secret Extended Edition with Latin American Spanish voice-over dubbings in and subtitles.
Amazon.com:
Not really a movie or documentary, The Secret is more of a video seminar, a presentation featuring a series of authors, philosophers, doctors, quantum physicists, entrepreneurs, and spiritual practitioners expounding on the powers of The Secret (probably the most well-known of the presenters is Jack Canfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles). What is The Secret, exactly? 'That principle can be summed up in three simple words: thoughts become things,' proclaims writer Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe. Put it another way, it’s The Power of Positive Thinking and how it can be applied to attracting more money, better health, and relationships; in short, happiness. (There is a rundown of topics on the DVD Chapters menu).
Most of the material here is given in a straightforward manner, with the presenters simply talking into the camera to address the audience directly, which is good because it avoids the trap of pretense. On the other hand, the quick edits between presenters (would it hurt to let them say more than one sentence at a time?) don't help because it reduces many of their points to palatable sound bites and aphorisms. To many viewers, this may make the program come across as a series of nice ideas not rooted in reality. Plus it's somewhat spurious to claim that The Secret was well understood and practiced by specific individuals like Plato or Shakespeare (it's well known that some of the historical figures noted didn't exactly live happy or even prosperous lives, despite their achievements). But still, the primary message is one of positivity and hope for everyone. So what to make of it? In the end, programs like this generally find an audience that is open to the message, and many will probably find it to be a source of inspiration. Others will approach it with a good deal of skepticism or dismiss it as another way of marketing happiness the masses. It simply won’t resonate with everyone, but if it resonates with you, you're likely to enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Those looking for more on The Secret might want to check out the companion book by Rhonda Byrne. --Daniel Vancini

Rating:  - The Secret
I have given this inspiring DVD to friends and loved ones here at home. And for friends and loved ones away from home,what better more efficient way than with Amazon.com. Over the years I have purchased a wide range of products and have NEVER been disappointed. Many, many thanks.cmz
Rating: - Pleased as Punch!
Thank you very much for your prompt delivery. The DVD is in excellent shape. Would highly recommend your products.
Rating:  - Never got it
The buyer contacted me to tell me it was unavailable and I was promptly reimbursed. No feedback because it was neither good nor bad. Bad that I didn't get the DVD but good that the buyer wrote to tell me and gave me a refund without me asking.
Rating:  - nicely packaged new age drivel
I see other reviews on here that say it all but I still wanted to throw my two cents out there.
As someone in the healing arts, this video came to me via colleagues a few years ago. They were touting it as the greatest thing since sliced bread and I finally sat down to watch it with them, finding myself thoroughly disappointed.
I will say it's quite well done in terms of the use of music and imagery to elicit certain emotional responses. It has an inpirational feel to ... Read More
Rating: - Don't believe the negative comments
Im not much of a review writer but I felt it necessary due to all the other comments. They call it "The Secret".. and even though we all know these things (instinct, intuition, the bible, physics, etc), its difficult for anyone to assemble them in a pretty little package and use them in every day life. I have been following "The Secret" for years without knowing it. This movie sort of connected the dots and filled in the blanks. I'm a very intelligent, rational person and know this is the real deal. ... Read More
