The Greatest Secret

I am enjoying reading this book as part of "The Secret" series. In a way the material reminds me of Stoic philosophy, particularly Epictetus. Some readers may find the actual works of Epictetus more relatable, and others may find this book easier to comprehend and apply to their lives. Either way, the message has value and this book presents it in a way that I find moving and inspiring. The book itself, like "The Secret", is a very nice hardback edition, with good quality paper, nice artwork, etc.

Great book! Recommend

As the author states many times, the knowledge and insights she presents have been "discovered", written about and lived by other advanced souls before but the author's ability to bring so many insights into focus and reduce them to the simple single "greatest secret" using contemporary vernacular is her unique skill and gift to those ready to receive it.I absorbed with gratitude and hopefulness The Secret when it first came out.Now in this latest of her books, the author explains in The Greatest Secret the illusion that is common in humanity, the illusion that life as we live it on a daily basis, is factual and all there is to living. The truth, she claims, is that our lives are fabrications based on everything from childhood experiences to social norms, cultural attitudes and behaviors.All of this masks the truth, that we are the creators of our daily experience through the use of our minds and that behind all of this "noise", drama, the ups and downs of daily life, there is a place of perfection, peace and supreme happiness that she refers to as Consciousness.This Consciousness is One, singular and which is our true being and which all of life, truth is made from and of.Once we learn this truth and once we can separate ourselves from identification with our bodies, our minds and regain our awareness of our true Being, we live in a state of complete and total happiness.The day to day struggles to get ahead, to acquire and accumulate, to fix everything from illness to poverty, to free ourselves from the ceaseless effort to achieve, to succeed, to win, from fear and competitiveness we can finally take ultimate pleasure in simply being. We can and do live daily lives, have careers, form families, take trips etc. but they are no longer seen as goals that will fulfill us. They never do anyway but we now can take pleasure in these pursuits and activities for the simple pleasure of the experience more as observers and for the opportunities to grown in greater understanding of our true Self and true purpose.I cannot thank Ms. Byrne more for having given me this gift. I too have, as she has, spent much of my life in study and pursuit of answers, sometimes more intently than at others. I am so grateful that I ran across an interview of her on YouTube that lead me to order the Audible and the printed versions of the book. I imagine I will listen and read this through many times to absorb more and more of the message so I can put it to use increasingly in my daily living.I just completed listening to all six hours of the Audible version in two days and my wife commented when she saw me at the office that I had an unusually warm smile and contented look on my face. (We work together in the same small company and she knew my usual demeanor in the past was quite commonly anything but calm or happy due to the daily stresses and challenges in business).I hope and look forward to this book and this teaching leading to a permanent change in the way in which I view and respond to this world of illusion.Thank you Rhonda.

I typically avoid spiritual things that use the word “ secret” because in my lifetime I’ve sometimes found them to be a ploy.However, I read for inspiration to to choose to live as awareness and a book I was reading had a quote I liked in it from The Greatest Secret book, so I decided to get a copy from the library. I was pleased to find quotes in it from many of the books I’ve read and loved over the last twenty years. To my enjoyment, this book is a beautiful overview and inspiration in living as the open Awareness we all are. I ended up purchasing a copy of my own to keep. In my opinion, this book is straightforward and would be a great book to read for someone just getting started settling into living as awareness or for someone who has been for years and enjoys reading for inspiration and focus.

The Greatest Secret" by Rhonda Byrne is a thought-provoking and transformative exploration of the power of the mind and consciousness. Building upon the principles introduced in her previous works, Byrne delves deeper into the concept of the 'Secret'—the law of attraction—and how it can be harnessed to achieve lasting happiness, fulfillment, and spiritual awakening.The book encourages readers to shift their focus from external circumstances to their inner selves, unlocking a profound sense of peace and purpose. It offers practical exercises, real-life stories, and insights from spiritual leaders, making it accessible and actionable for readers seeking personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. I must say I did not intended to walk always feeling the way I do after reading this book but man oh man. its a must read

Chapters 1-4 is a lot of page fillers. After that you finally get the awesome message.

It really made you stop and think about everything to be grateful for.

Love it

This is a very helpful and interesting book. I am glad that I was able to find it soon.

The book arrived when i was ready just like the master when the student is ready

I am pleased with all Ronda’s teachings. This is just another excellent practice to keep things working out every minute of every day for the rest of our lives. Once the teachings sink in, if feels like a veil has been lifted and everything is clear. Thank you, Rhonda!

Rhonda Byrne has come up with yet another book but this time it is about consciousness and staying happy no matter what. Very practical exercises and amazing quotes from different spiritual masters. Loved this book!

This book is amazing. I have read The Secret and The Magic, and this book it’s a plus for those. I highly recommended. Love it!
