Hero (The Secret) Hardcover – Box set, November 19, 2013

I read many of the reviews of this book, especially the less than 5 star ones. The Secret started me off and began to change my life, The Power took my life one step further. Then I purchased The Magic and my life changed dramatically. Yet, something was still missing from the equation. I couldn't understand how people were going from step A to Step C without a hitch. Where was Step B? I was not able to just flipe a switch in my mind easily. After 60 years of conditioning and a life full of suffering, I still had questions as to exactly how to do this with heartfelt needs and wants. Many things were starting to manifest from my work, but the deepest of things were not. How did one person go from being fired from a TV show, to deciding she would pursue her dream of having her own, to getting a network to accept it it? There had to be a step in between, but what was it? Something was just not computing in my mind. I knew I needed more answers to my questions. Then I decided to go back to the reviews of Hero. And from the negative reviews, I realized that my answers were most likely going to come from this book. People didn't like that this was about other people's experiences. But those people totally missed the boat. Many questions are asked of you through those people. They are questions they suggest you ask yourself, BEFORE you start affirming and visualizing. It is not about their own experiences per say. It is the step B I was looking for. And, yes, there is action that must be taken once you have the answers for yourself to the questions presented through these 4 or 5 people. She highlights these same 4-5 people throughout the entire book.This book put it all together for me. Turns out it was a right decision to make it my last book of the ones she has put out. At least it was for me. And I am so grateful that I was able to read between the lines of these negative reviews to see that. It is EXACTLY what I needed. I has answered all the rest of my questions and made it easier for me to do all the things suggested in the first two books. The Magic is a stand alone book on it's own and a true life changer. That book is filled with action on how to attain sincere gratitude which, in turn, manifests all good things.For anyone out there like me, who felt I was missing a piece of my brain in order to do this with success, I strongly and highly recommend this book. It has helped me tremendously. Just last week, I read the same tow pages over and over again, and then the answer to my deepest heartfelt life defining question was magically answered just as promised. It came in a flash, just as those people said it would. And now I know what action I must take to manifest that desire. There is some footwork involved, and THEN The Universe does the rest.I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rhonda Byrne for her books. I've read many on the Law of Attraction and hers are by far the very, very best. She has changed my life. And though I have never met her, she lands on my gratitude blessings list on many days. This woman has fulfilled her mission on this planet. She has reached millions, just as she once dreamed.

Just like one review said, other people were complaining about it just being short snippets about people living their dreams, but it's so much more than that. After I started reading, it felt like the pieces fell into place and things made a bit more sense. The Magic and the Power are fantastic for showing us the strength of gratitude and love, but the Hero delivers in how it shows you how people followed their dreams even when it didn't seem feasible or likely. I've been through the wringer, getting angry at how my life was going and how doors were being shut in my face, but sometimes you need to be shaken out of routine in order to pursue what you actually really want from life. This book put it into perspective for me. I'm getting to work on crafting my vision now. It definitely raised me up when I was feeling depressed.

A firm believer in the Law of Attraction, I have seen and read as much as I could get my hands on to do with the subject. (I have to admit that I wouldn't be such a devoted follower as a rule, but I run a business that I want to succeed badly enough to where I would involve myself in such practices.)That being said, I find Hero to be an indispensable approach to the LoA, considering my aforementioned reason for practicing it so ardently. Yet, in addition, I find Rhonda Byrne's words to be a stretch from what she has always said in the past, and I find reassurance in it. For instance, she often says that life is sometimes hard and a struggle, especially where concerns one's ambitions, but the only difference is whether or not you let that fact of life determine your success. I also find that this redeems Rhonda Byrne's credibility, (hence the name of this review,) because around the time I read The Secret, I had an unusually tragic death in my family. As a result, her earlier sentiments that all good things fall into your lap in accordance with your emotions began to seem somewhat insulting.I find that she has done herself proud in this volume, which is as good a way as any to sum up all I've just said. Anyone with high professional or educational ambitions will find Hero to be encouraging as well as inspiring.

I recommend this book to anyone who will listen, Basically, The Power of Positive Thinking is just amazing!Get out of your own head right at this moment and do some forward thinking about goodness, happiness, love, what you do want to happen, not what you do NOT want to happen in your life!I would recommend the Magic by Rhonda Byrne as well, I was bouncing out of bed to do my task each day with The Magic! You have to be in the frame of mind that you are looking for this information or it wont feel like it applies!So many folks are in a funk, this can draw you out of you let it!I recommend it daily in my line of work! Give it a try, I love the Video even more, it is on Netflix, streaming and I put it on my phone and hit play when I feel just a little funky, works like a charm and brings me out of it!

I thought this book was the best of the secret series.
