OMG, what have I just read? At first, it felt like a scam... and this feeling has never left me. And this is one of the most highly rated books! Not only it is useless but also can cause harm to those who are seeking help.
I ignored these absurd things about visualizing house, visualizing car, visualizing people you want to be present in your life and blah-blah. The most ludicrous was visualizing money to find checks in your post box.
This all was laughable and funny until the chapter about health. How many dead people has to be there to stop believing in magical faith healing (or Secret healing)?
I wonder if creators of the book really do believe in what they are talking about or they deliberately are deceiving people? I hope they are just delusional.
The book has one good point - do not concentrate on negative and focus on positive. But this is simple psychology and not because you turn on the wrong frequency and the Universe responds (it does not) accordingly.
By the way. Frequency. I hate it when such people refer to physics. As if what they are talking about has anything to do with science at all. As if ‘the law of attraction' said together with quantum physics gives your words more ground. It does not.

I expected so much of the book and I regret touching it at all. I do NOT recommend it to anybody.

Won't she feel guilty?

Even just reading the book makes you feel better.

The book is dry and the ideas are old. It's not bad but if asked for recommendation on self help book, this one wouldn't pop up in my head because it was one of many with nothing special. Also, I find it strange that it's the author's face on the cover and not something else. Isn't it telling something about his ego? What about being humble? Anyway.
It was a nice read but I honestly couldn't finish.

It's good to read for everyone. But especially useful for those who create predictive models, because it has valuable examples of biases in the algorithms created by people. The book illustrates vicious cycles for those who cannot potentially escape being a target of WMD.
I enjoyed the reading and can recommend it to everyone.
