I worked at a book store back a while now so people would ask and recommend books
The Secret was big at the time
The Secret sucks ass
I disliked any customer that recommended it to me after that
I wouldn’t say that though, I’d thank them politely.
I usually recommended Neuromancer, but it depended on topic.
I remember it being a documentary instead of a book, but regardless, I’m embarrassed to admit that my family actually believed in it for awhile, as if a pile of money will just fall in your lap if you simply believe that it will. What a load of first world, white privilege, copium bullshit.
Never read it, but what I’ve heard it’s wishful thinking combined with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like “I manifested getting a healthy body so I started eating healthy and going to the gym so the Secret works”. The manifest part in completely optional but I can see it helping some people.

Absolute trash

That accurately describes the people recommending the book all the time, yes.
