Product Description

What to do when the universe hasn't delivered everything you ever wanted...

You can’t get rich and happy just by sending out positive vibes, but you can...

* Learn Happiness Habits from Positive Psychology
* Tame your Fear with Cutting Edge Neuroscience
* Control your Time and Money like an Entrepreneur
* Build Better Relationships through one Tested Technique

THE REAL SECRET takes the best of what really works to raise your levels of happiness, satisfaction and success. Lucy McCarraher and Annabel Shaw debunk the empty promises of many recent self help books with their simple, sensible approach to real life fulfilment. Annabel is a social psy-chologist and radiotherapist; Lucy is a work-life balance expert, writer and coach. They have combined their personal and professional experience with research from positive and social psychology, the latest neuroscience and therapeutic techniques to create a transformative 12-step programme. Following THE REAL SECRET’s scientifically supported model really can raise your happiness set point and bring your life under control.

From the Author

Did you know that happy people are more succesful, have better relationships, make more money and get more out of life? If you feel you could be happier and get more out of life but don't know how, THE REAL SECRET is what you've been waiting for.
We don't believe you can achieve happiness, or anything else, by simply wishing for, thinking about or visualising it. If you've tried that and found that the universe hasn't delivered everything you ever wanted, we're here to help.

A 100% Humdinger! 21 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
Up front, no messing about... an easily read and digested
book telling you exactly what to do when the universe
hasn't delivered! It contains down to earth 'how to's'
delivered in a powerful yet elegantly simple way.

Loved that I balked at the chapter 'Money Matters'...
Having once been neurotic about money, doing my accounts
every week and knowing down to the nearest penny what my
money was doing, what I had or did not have... in recent years
I've thrown caution to the wind, taking risks and challenges
I just would not have if I was still anal with my money.
AND I know it's time to get a little more rigour in there!

So, this is where I stand... about not throwing the
baby out with the bath-water. I share the authors'
cyncism about all the hoo-ha around the Secret...including
it's lack of practical realism and ideas which, without
sufficient explanation and practical grounding, can lead
people astray and disappointed.

And... because of how we can re-programme our brains...
for me, there is a place for using imagination, feelings
and particular language patterns AS WELL AS following
everything in this superb book! It's not either/or but
both/and for me.

I highly recommend The Real Secret to you... as I'm now
doing to both my coaching and psychotherapy clients. It's
a 100% humdinger guaranteed to help anyone who wants to
develop themselves, their life and achieve fulfilment.

Real Secrets Revealed 17 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
What I liked about The Real Secret was its no nonsense, practical approach based on good quality research. The Real Secret has cherry-picked the best from a wide range of psychology, science and therapy and made it accessible and do-able.

I found it easy to read and understand, with the reasons for each of the habits fully explained. A lot of self help books are either too sciency or too simplistic, or just give you far too much to do. I also liked the fact that the authors are realistic about how long it really takes to change habits and transform your life.

They don't promise to change your life in seven days, but more realistically suggest that it can take a year to make real and lasting changes.

Make success happen 24 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Successful people are people who are in control of their lives, people who 'paddle their own canoe', and these people generally have no time for the 'it will happen if I wish it hard enough' approach. The Real Secret really caught my attention because, as a jazz musician, I tend to lead so much of my life following impulse rather than plan.

This book has shown me how, by paying closer attention to all of the little things, we can change ourselves into people who resemble successful people, and thus become far more likely to succeed. Like successful people, we too can take control of our lives.

It is generally accepted that the Myers-Briggs judger/perceiver scale shows two types of personality: a judger is organised and may be destined to reach the top of the tree in people management, whereas a perceiver is highly creative, highly disorganised, and always late, but is more likely to come up with a multi million dollar (pound?) idea. If you are reading this review, you are fairly likey to be a disorganised, messy, consistently late person, i.e. perceiver, and this book might well give you that proverbial kick up the a*** you need to get you to take action. This puts you ahead of the game because most perceivers never get around to doing anything. Alternatively, if there is a judger in you waiting to be released, this book will liberate it and enable you to succeed.

Above all, this book delivers. Leave all the Rhonda Byrne stuff to the people who believe in little people with wings at the bottom of the garden, lets get real and succeed. Grounded in reality, this book will be the most useful book you ever buy.

Too grounded in reality/put me on a downer
I agree with a lot of what is said, like you're not going to get things just by wishing for them (paraphrase). The book is ultimately a downer though. It's the anti-Secret. Read more
