Another take on _The Secret_ phenomenon, this time on Oprah's role in it.
Not as amusing as Ari Brouillette's contribution, but thoughtful. It
might even have relevance to the teaching of psychology.

I tried to tell her that it was a ridiculous premise (I may have even called it
that, yes, my very bad--I just get so upset over highly capable students who
swallow this stuff without thinking it through).

I've noticed "The Secret" pops up every now and then.
I was wondering, has anyone on TIPS has actually read it (reading
primary sources and all that)?
The only thing that annoys me about "The Secret", is that I wish I had

Either noone have read it, or if any have, they don't wan't to admit it.
