He does this religiously, in fact that's all he does for two straight days - just lays in bed and thinks hard of his bike. He shuts his eyes, thinks hard of a ride bike with a basket in front. Second scenario - now, imagine a kid who wants a red bike. Maybe he even repeats in his mind a few times "I will make this shot". In his mind, he sees the ball going into the basket, traveling in that perfect trajectory - he envisions himself making the shot, his hands performing the perfect movement. First, a basketball player is on the free throw line. As if at the end of your life you only seemed to care about your own well-being. If you'd live life the way they recommend you to it feels so superficial to me. (-) The documentary does seem to emphasize on money, welfare and "thus" happiness. If a family member or a good friend of yours dies, then why should you force yourself into a constant state of joy? It's alright to cry, be angry or whatever, as long as you don't exaggerate it, stay in control of yourself and act wisely. (-) At a certain point, the documentary talks about a "constant state of joy" (at least twice)! The makers of this movie fail to mention that there is nothing wrong with grief and such feelings. (But again, to newcomers and people who need a periodical pep talk this might be just the right thing.) It feels like I'm watching Tel Sell, and the talking just goes on and on.
(-) At start The Secret gives the impression that you're going to watch a movie about a woman who will discover "The Secret", how and why it has been kept as a secret for so long, exposing a conspiracy and in the end revealing the secret to the viewer. You just have to believe that what they say is true. (±) Several times the interviewees give certain numbers and facts as proof of a statement they're making, but the methods of researching those facts aren't being explained. They do tell some remarkable stories, but it doesn't really convince me for some reason. (±) In my opinion, there are claims being made during the documentary that aren't backed up with solid proof. To those who are already familiar with this theory (resembling Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) it may seem repetitive, but to newcomers this might be necessary. (+) The theory is explained in a way that's easy to comprehend. This documentary encourages people to change their lives in a positive way. (+) To those who experience negative thoughts throughout every day this is a great opportunity to change their way of thinking. I've watched the whole documentary and these are my impressions divided into positive (+), neutral (±) and negative (-) remarks.
