BATB score: 3.33/10
PSA: The Secret disciples, please turn away. Spoiler alert: skeptic review below.
The original self-help book in its perfect lame definition: one abstract concept "positive thoughts, positive life" repeated redundantly throughout the book.
Best to: know that The Secret is no longer a secret - it's basically the concept of good karma; good thoughts, good deeds, good life.
Best as: yet another self-help book where you puke rainbows; sure, I get it, mind-power + positive energy/thought = happiness/success but yeah. okay. noted. next.
Best for: that unicorn that can actually puke rainbows
