“Should I recommend the book "The Secret" to children?”
I decided to share my thoughts with Wei and LI readers. Please find my answer bellow.
The core of the book is how powerful our ideas and thoughts are and how these immaterial things make a big impact on our lives.
Based on my observations I have done several conclusions:
1.The world is much more sophisticated than a perception of average person. The world consists not only from material but also immaterial elements
2. We (human beings) supposed to take care not only about our acts and deeds but also about out thoughts
3. The believe in a power of immaterial such as thought, idea, dream is a very positive and healthy thing for all of us, because this is a believe in our capabilities to be (become) CREATORS (!!!)
4. This power is not disturbing, it is giving us a HOPE and BELIEVE. Hope and believe that any situation, challenge or problem can be solved by the power of our WILL.
Making conclusion: children are our future and we hoping them the best.
As sooner we provide the idea of their (his or her) power as quicker we shall get return on our investment – a solid person, responsible not only for actions, but also for the thoughts, the person with high ability for the creation, challenge and change in the benefit for the society and Universe!

The Secret is the latest and by far the worst example of a HIGHLY profitable trend where self-help gurus with fabricated new age titles and little relevant education, credentials or legitimate expertise brainwash us into believing that they know what is best for us, our marriages and our families.
Often their only contribution to society is introducing some exotic sounding, new age philosophy. However, they often cleverly form an incestuous group of like-minded “experts” who cross-promote each other by swearing their success is due to following the beliefs of another member of their “cult!” All the while, they ply the airwaves jockeying for an ever-larger audience by appearing in the national media to garner third-party endorsements.
The Self-Help Movement has become the Self-Destruct Movement by diminishing or destroying our critical thinking skills to choose and evolve on our own. We have given up the freedom to build healthy lives, marriages and families based on our unique history and life experience. Instead many victims, blinded to the value of their own life experiences, are attracted to the latest secret in self-help, in an attempt to find out what they should think, feel and how they should act... this is the definition of a cult.
The solution is a return to our (common) senses! The best way out of this learned “self-helplessness” is to go cold turkey. Stop following ALL self-help gurus now. Begin, instead, to reclaim your natural, God-given ability to think for yourself. The common sense that was once readily available to all of us is still there free of charge and waiting to be applied to just about any challenge we might face in life… all you have to do is use it.
Please, let's all work together to stop the flock of "sheepeople" who blindly move from one UNPROVEN concept to the next, looking for the answers to life's challenges that you already possess and that is the OBVIOUS!
