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.

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.

Well unlike some of the other reviewers I do rather like self-help books as long as you're able to pick out the useful gems and take other things with a pinch of salt. The problem is knowing the difference and I think this book really does solve that. Not only do the writers piece it together well in an easy to read, easy to follow formula, they also include inspiring quotes by inspiring people and also - what I particularly like - evidence based research by neuroscientists and psychologists. You can read it straight through as one read, it is worth doing that to start with, but I think it does also work as a year's worth of work on ourselves. A year? We all want quick fixes, don't we? But what is a year if it changes your life? Aren't you worth it?

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
