"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne

I listened to this book as an audio book CD while driving around in my vehicle.  Rhonda takes readers through her massive journey to discover what she calls "the secret".  She references PhDs, researchers, philosophers, and even particle physicists.  Her journey takes her thousands of years in the past and right up to our current day.  The secret is that one's thoughts determine one's outcomes in life.  Rhonda explains how people need to ask, believe, and think about what they want in life.  People are energy with frequency and will get back in life what they emit into the universe (their thoughts).  Rhonda emphasizes that people need to think about what they do want instead of what they don't want.  In a fascinating example, it is noted that someone who thinks "I am healthy" will tend to be healthy while someone who thinks "I need to lose weight" will tend to be overweight so that statement is always true (they are heavy so they can be always needing to lose weight and fulfilling that thought).  While I don't think that life is some big magic game where we can just wish fantasy into existence, I do believe that the thinking has a huge impact on reality.  Those who focus on what they want will likely be more focused on their goals and be more optimistic about reaching them.  Good vibes only!
