The Secret
Rhonda Byrne
Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006
Life-changing book
I found this book to be life-changing. I so wish I had read it when I was in high school. What a different world this would be if we started teaching this to our youth! It has become my favorite gift to give to others. What a fast read, too.
