Book: The Secret
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Just finished reading The Secret a couple of weeks ago. For the very few of you who have not heard of this book before, it is a book that got published in 2006 after a DVD on the same topic was released. The Secret is a spiritual/self-help book on how to use the law of attraction to achieve everything you want in life. The book got super famous after appearing on Oprah.
Though the book is a massive international hit, many people criticise it, mufti’s in some Arab Muslim countries held that the teachings of the book are haram for some reason, which I thought is very weird, because the majority of the principles of The Secret are compatible with most religions, for example, praying to have what you desire, being grateful everyday for what you have, thinking positively, giving those who need some of what you have, and that each person is responsible for his own fate.
I thought that the Secret is a fun and energizing book to read, it is not meant to be taken as a scientific book of authority, but a little book to make you feel good about the future and that you can do anything you want in life if you put your mind to it.
