The Secret Law of Attraction Movie

It’s been 18 years, give or take, since the release of The Secret—the popular film and book.

Produced by Rhonda Byrne, an Australian television writer and producer, The Secret was hugely successful with DVD sales reaching higher than 2 million within the first year of its release and book sales reaching higher than 4 million within 6 months of publication.

In 2007, this success earned Rhonda Byrne a spot on Time Magazine’s Time 100, a list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Here in East Africa, the phenomenon that was The Secret was not lost on us.

Bookstores across the region (at least in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda) brandished huge displays advertising the book, and within 7 months of the film’s release, I (living in Nairobi at the time) was able to get a copy of The Secret’s first edition.

Chances are that many of you, my readers, have already either watched or read The Secret.

Today, I would like to share a bit about The Secret with those of you who haven’t, while engaging those of you who have in a discussion as to whether “the secret” contained in The Secret really is the secret to successful, joyful living.

What is The Secret?

The film, which was released before the book, is a documentary-style movie consisting of interviews with authors, philosophers, and scientists about the secret to prosperity, health, relationships and happiness.

The book, containing the same material as the film, was published 7 months later, with both the book and the DVD version reaching the top of the bestseller lists.

What was the secret espoused in The Secret?

Sorry, I am not going to be a spoiler.

To find that out, you’ll have to read or watch The Secret yourself.

For a sneak peek into The Secret, though, you can find out more on the movie’s official website.

Personally, I enjoyed the first edition of the movie very much (the one that included Esther Hicks, who was subsequently edited out of later versions).

The film was fast-paced, visually captivating, and chock full of fascinating concepts.

After watching the movie many times (understatement!), I have since incorporated a number of The Secret’s teachings into my daily life.

For example, now I “want what I really want” and don’t temper my desires by whether or not I think I can have whatever it is that I want.

Also, I’ve learned to take keen note of what my emotional guidance system tells me, staying away from places, people, or things that incite negative emotions in me and moving towards those that elicit positive ones.

Eight years after first learning about “the secret”, I can attest that I am now a more peaceful, positive, happy human being than ever before (and finally, I now understand what my Aunt meant when she once told me that I was uncomfortable with happiness and could never just let good things flow to me. D. T. O., thanks for sharing that insight! 😉 ).

Still, I am not sure whether or not “the secret” espoused in The Secret is truly the secret to successful living.

One major issue that I have with The Secret comes from past experience.

In my own life, I have experienced first-hand the benefit of negative emotion.

There’s nothing quite like being sick-and-tired of a situation to propel me to do something about it.

Also, I’ve experienced that a little bit of worry and anxiety helps me get stuff done.

Sometimes, I wonder: if I constantly stop myself from experiencing negative emotion, then might I not just become complacent and lose a great energy source that I have used in the past to create positive change?
