The Secret has the right idea, but blown out of proportion.
IMHO:

1. You can't just envision and believe, and it will happen. You have to make a real, dedicated effort to develope your mind and truly control your mindstate. Just thinking possitively doesn't mean your mind is truly thinking possitively, you need to dig right into the subconscious and shape the most deeply burried gears.


2. Harsh overkill on the corniness.

and

3. I do believe in the law of attraction as it relates to the human psyche. However, it was grossly misrepresented when they illustrated mystical waves eminating from people's minds. There is no energy flying from you in every direction, no pulse vibrating a mile around you. If you want to really look at how the minds of conscious beings affect each other, think quantum, and think something closer to gravitation. I know there are experts on quantum physics who made this, but both What The Bleep and The Secret unfortunately used very vague explanations that didn't go nearly deep enough. Maybe that's as far as most people's minds can stretch though, I don't know.
