What is the Secret?
The Secret has become one of the best selling self-help books ever written. The fundamental concept behind the book and the movie is commonly known as the "Law of Attraction". The best way to understand "The Law of Attraction" is to think of it like gravity, and that we as humans attract every experience that occurs in our life, through conscious or sub-conscious thoughts.
Your thoughts will give you what you want
The best example of the Law of attraction in the movie is told by John Asaraf. Whilst unpacking all his belongings in his new home John's son was looking through all the boxes in his study. When his son discovered John's vision board he asked his dad what it was. Whilst explaining to his son that he used his vision board to stick up all the things he wanted in his life he suddenly began to cry. It was at that very moment that John discovered he had just moved in to the very mansion he had stuck up on his vision board. The exact same mansion he had consciously envisioned himself living in. This is a perfect example of what the Law of attraction is all about.
