I really liked this book. Here are some of my favorite quotes-
47- It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
-Epictetus
49- Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
-Gautama Buddha
94- Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.
-Lao Tzu
140- Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Byrne proves there are suckers born every minute – and they buy lots of her books. She is the Jimmy Swaggart of literature. She refuses to give interviews. I would too, if I were her. She has nothing to say. Interviewing her would be like watching Barbie think.

Unlike The Secret, The Power began with many sighs and eye rolls. Too repetitive, it read more like a children’s poem or the chorus of a cheesy song. After setting it aside for a day or two, I picked it up once more. I don’t know if the writing improved or if it was my attitude that adjusted, but it became the inspirational message I had hoped for. If everyone read The Power and followed the seemingly obvious and simple ideas the world would indeed be a better place.

This beautifully designed hardcover was given to me by a friend. I had read The Secret and wasn't quite sure the author would have to say.
Right now, I'm halfway through The Power and must say that it is a mixture of things I needed to be reminded of and then some things I didn't quite know. There's this focus on love in the book, but in practice it's more about what you like, so it's less effortful than the kind of loving that, for instance, Scott Peck spoke about.

I was really in need to read some motivational books , and this book was a good choice ^^
here some quotes :
1. "Life is supposed to be fun! When you're having fun, you feel great and you receive great things! Having fun brings the life you want, and taking things too seriously brings a life you have to take seriously."
2. "Let go of the things you don't love about your childhood, and keep the things you love. Let go of the things you don't love about More...

I listened to the audio book, which despite it's potential for cheesiness, I did enjoy. I'm not sure if I would have gotten the same thing out of just reading the book. Hearing Byrne's passion probably helped.
I know some people think "it's nothing new." Of course it's nothing new; there's nothing new under the sun. Yes, it's saying the same thing as The Secret, there's only one thing to say!
I liked the anecdotes; part of me wants to question them and say they're mad More...

There's nothing really new per se in The Power that wasn't already explained in The Secret. But sometimes it helps to have things reiterated a time or ten or to have them explained in a different way. There are also a lot of good techniques provided to make things start to work in your favor. I can understand why some might be disappointed, frustrated with the repetition or expecting something all new, but the truth is that people rarely get it the first time they are exposed to something.

This book was exactly what I was expecting. A nice follow-up to The Secret. It just builds upon what was learned in The Secret about the law of attraction. The Power description states that you don't need to have read The Secret in order to benefit from The Power. I would agree with that, but I think it definitely helps. I honestly believe you get out of life what you put into it, and whatever you put out there comes right back to you. I found this to be a very uplifting, encouraging, and motiva

You would be better off smoking a joint or taking DMT rather than reading this shit.
You should probably take DMT and trip, you will learn more about yourself and how the universe functions than reading this crap.
Rhonda is con-woman through and through. She learned the ropes of manipulating the public by working in television.

in 2006, Rhonda Byrne produced the video of The Secret, later released as a book. In it, authors, psychologists and scientists described the LW of Attraction and how it could change your life. In her 2010 book, The Power, Byrne offers a similar message in her own voice. Her thesis is that love is the power behind the law of attraction. Those who looked The Secret will relate to this book. Those who didn't won't find any reason to change their opinion. I give The Power 4 stars for i's philosophy

While I find Byrne's emphasis on positive thinking and moving towards your goals and the future rather than wallowing in unhelpful memories refreshing, I can't abide some of her assertions. If illness is the result of negativity and children are the living embodiment of the power, how does she file children with chronic illnesses in her worldview? And where does her view on money leave the nations of the world that have been made poor in no small part through oppression? A positive outlook can b

The author suggests we must make a paradigm shift in our way of thinking to harness the powers of the universe (may I suggest "God") in our own behalf. Her book centers on the principle of the "law of attraction"; or in otherwords, we receive back what we send out. Within that law, Byrne suggests that we should focus on "love", or loving those things which we truly desire. She asserts it is wrong to focus attention on the negative; if we will focus instead on the

The attractiveness to the book is almost magical and spectacular in regards to how it connects to the reader. Every teenager should read this book. Great health, impeccable relationships, a career anyone would love to have, a life filled with happiness, and the money you need to have everything you want, all come from the ideas and topics of...The Power!

I took parts of this book to heart, but must agree with those who are saying it is too materialistic. I am going to walk away with the message of being grateful and thinking positively. I am wary that some people may become even more egocentric in reading this book.

This is a follow up book to The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It doesn't really matter which one you read first, because this one picks up where The Secret left off, but at the same time, is basically repeating what was said before except in a new way. This new way, is by The Power, or intention of Love. Where as The Secret introduced to us what The Law of Attraction is, and how to use it and benefit us... that is just the vehicle or vessel which will bring us the life we desire.

A sequel to the book "The Secret" by the same author. Like the first book, The Secret of the Power restates the laws of attractions A way of life that relies on changing your attitude toward all things to make your life amazing. This theory of life can be found in hundreds of books published before and after the original "The Secret" came out in 2006. For me The Secret of the Power was easier to read then most. It is written from one point of view with short inspirational quo

It’s based on the law of attraction and claims that positive thinking can create life-changing results such as increased wealth, health, and happiness. I agree with parts of it and believe thinking positively is a start and can help to create life-changing results but on it’s own, it’s not enough.

This title was exceptionally interesting. Rhonda Byrne (with a lot of borrowing from noted historical figures) promotes the idea that negativity on any level only promotes more negativity. Don't be misled by the preconception that we are all going to join hands and create world peace...we're not. There is always going to be some chaos or harm in the world...this is not that book.

We don't just get whatever we want and work for in life. Byrne is missing the important element of humility along with exercising faith; what we want and work towards must also be the will of God.

This book is almost word to word Ester and Jerry Hiks' "The Law Of Attraction" book. Yet I gave it 4 Stars and not less: for the content, which is timeless and ever so true.
Yet for myself I found "The Secret" to be a more practical read: I know how to be grateful, I am feeling it immediately having THANKED anything for a couple of times. It is more challenging with love. The phrases like "you should love it with More...

But the message is worth remembering for a whole lifetime.

The Power is...wait for it...wait for it...well, I guess telling you would be a spoiler. Rhonda Byrne takes the idea of The Law of Attraction discussed in The Secret and boils it down to the source of power in The Power. The general premise of the book makes sense. The idea that we receive what we give rings true. When we feel positive and project good feelings out into the world, we're more likely to notice the good things in our lives. When we spend our lives focused on the negative, then

From an Amazon review: "The "power" in this book is the power of love. Your life is made up of only two kinds of things...positive things and negative things. This book explains how your attitude and way of thinking can make bad things seem better.
