I remember it being a documentary instead of a book, but regardless, I'm embarrassed to admit that my family actually believed in it for awhile, as if a pile of money will just fall in your lap if you simply believe that it will. What a load of first world, white privilege, copium bullshit.

Never read it, but what I've heard it's wishful thinking combined with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like "I manifested getting a healthy body so I started eating healthy and going to the gym so the Secret works". The manifest part in completely optional but I can see it helping some people.

the Secret

Absolute trash
