I’m a big Jack Canfield fan, and have twelve of his Chicken Soup For The Soul books on the shelf next to me, and a copy of The Aladdin Factor. But what’s Jack been up to these days? He’s involved with a new seminar for “The Secret”. Let me back up first…
“The Secret” is a movie that has a lot of buzz on the internet. You can watch the movie online, or buy the book at Amazon. Larry King & Oprah have talked about it, and The Wall Street Journal, and NY Times have written about it. The movie has spawned a how-to program called “The Secret Science of Getting Rich” and it features the same big name teachers from the movie, like Jack Canfield. The basis of the seminar (and the movie) is that you can improve your life by focusing on the positive and attracting great things. (And let’s face it - nobody likes a Debbie Downer!)
In addition to Jack Canfield, The Secret seminar features success coach Bob Proctor and spiritual leader Michael Beckwith. The catch though, and there’s always a catch - the program costs $1,995 for you to participate. That’s a lot of money for most people I know, and I’d hate to see someone plunk down that much money and not get the results they hoped for. I’d be interested in going just to see what all the buzz is about in fact - I think of these seminars as a great church sermon, without the religion.

There is nothing really new here. It is just another author’s thought on Norman Vincent Peale’s THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING from 1952 updated for a new century. He did preach this in his sermons and I am sure did not charge $1995.00 for the preachin’.
We just got free tickets to a Trump seminar/money show in Philly in mid-april, and people from “The Secret” will be there…as well as many others. We may check it out…nothing set in stone yet.
