    "the secret" Manifesting your reality with wishful thinking
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018*

Firstly, this book is not about zen. I have studied Zen, eastern religion, and eastern metaphysics for years and this book misses the mark almost entirely.Zen is not about labels, striving for happiness and avoiding sadness, It's not about using belief as a superpower.There are several problems with this book, which I stopped reading after some 70 pages.1. The idea that there is a seperate 'you' that can create thoughts and emotions and actions ex-nihilo, that can simply choose to be happy. Eastern religion is about recognizing the illusory nature of the self, and the deepest self being the 'whole works', not granting it godhood. The man goes on to state that there is no seperation in any of it, then goes on to state there there is a seperate 'you' acting as some sort of minature first cause.2. The idea that we are free to choose our emotions. Your emotions are happenings, just like your thoughts are. If we were free to choose our emotions, noone would choose to be sad or angry.3. The idea that if you 'wish for' and 'believe in' something that the universe will manifest it for you. This is "the secret". It's newage wishful thinking magic, and it is NOT zen.4. The idea that everything that happens is good, is conflated with the idea that everything that happens is harmonious. His examples of bad things magically becoming good things involve rediculous outcomes, like the construction next door is actually a gift house for you, or you can get hit on the head by a rock and suddenly understand old obscure buddhist texts like the I Ching.5. His endorsement of wholy' disproven medical interventions like acupuncture.6. His blatant advertisement of his addiction center.7. His idea that belief is powerful is a good idea. The problem is that we don't choose our beliefs. We do not choose what we are and are not convinced of. You can choose to ACT as if you believe something, and you can choose to PROFESS a belief in something, but if you believe it or not is not a choice.8. The idea that the universe is based on continuation, and will always continue, and will always do what is neccessary to continue. The Second Law of thermodynmics, known as the law of entropy states exactly the opposite.9. The idea that there are "laws of nature" that somehow exist and act as cosmic traffic cops somewhere out in the aether, is not even an eastern idea. That's completely western. The illusory nature of abstractions is not the super-realism of abstractions. Between the self illusion and this, he's completely misunderstood eastern metaphysics.10. His conflation of metaphysics with supernatural.11. I've run out of counter points, but Im sure there are more, because I only got about halfway through the book. If I had finished the book, this would be too long.  I have taken a permanant maker and made a new title subtitle for it, "The secret" 'manifesting your reality through wishful thinking, with non-relevant zen quotes.'If you are really interested in a self-improvement book based in an eastern worldview, I recommend 'the wisdom of insecurity' by alan watts. This half-baked book doesnt hold half a candle to it.I didn't even mean to buy this book, I was trying to buy Zen and the art of motorcycle maintainance, which is also much much better.

    Disappointed.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2018*

Very quick read.  Also very generic.  Quickly turned into an advertisement for the author's rehab center and his other books.  Here's the jist:  Everything happens for a reason, just go with it, it could be a blessing in disguise.  Not a bad message, but not at all what I expected.  Not very Zen at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Loved this book!
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019*

Despite some of the negative reviews I still ordered this book and gave it a shot. I truly feel like this booked helped me stay calm and focus on patience and being content.Some of the reviews stated there were parts where he spoke about his business in HELPING people but I didn’t feel like anything was wrong with that. To me, If your heart is right and you truly want to help others, there’s nothing wrong with mentioning to help people in numerous ways by going to a healing program. What’s wrong with that? And other books he referred to I am sure I will enjoy reading like I did this one.Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but respectfully I am going to disagree with some of the negative reviews below.This book had some great stories and references that have changed me since reading. I definitely recommend checking this book out if you are searching for some inner peace and change :)
