I recently bought the Secret DVD and I kind of like it. It's stating the same things that other self help authors have said, but in a different way.
It's valuable to people like me who are pulling themselves up out of the hellhole of poverty and misery. For you guys who have always been squared away and have always had yourselve's together, I can see how you would ridicule it. But for people like me who were raised in a culture of gettng home from work as fast as you can to watch TV, it's like the parent you never had.
