I've heard all about these books over the years and I finally decided that now would be as good as time as ever to start reading one.
I had no idea what to expect from this novel, having never read a novel of this genre, and went in only knowing that a hero lay within me.
I was not impressed for the first 1/2 of the novel, as the information contained within was nothing short of everyday knowledge given to me by my mother and father; nothing that "awoke my soul" and made me question life,the universe, and everything.
The second half of the novel is where it took off and I felt myself taking the topics(?)and applying the knowledge to my life - with a book like this I think it's impossible not too. One thing I truly appreciated was that the book left out the adage "complete guide to finding your passion" novelty, complete with a Pro an con chart and Self-Survey. Instead it relied on the reader to savor the knowledge within the pages and apply it to his/her own life in a way that best suits them. It asked us to take baby steps and not find "here and now" solutions.
Over the course of the book I felt more and more inclined to believe the words and knowledge being passed to me and have since started applying it to my life.
I recommend this book, even if to just give you a different viewpoint on life; very refreshing read. :)

Das Konzept von "The Secret", dem ersten Buch von der Autorin, war mir bekannt. Hero bietet wenig Neues, dient vielleicht eher als Erinnerung oder Auffrischung, wie man es gelegentlich braucht, wenn man sich etwas an- oder abgewöhnen möchte.
Daher zwar kein Fehlkauf, allerdings auch kein großes Aha-Erlebnis.

A nice-to-read 3rd installment of the same type of positive books by Rhonda Byrne. I really enjoyed listening to it and it fired me up to start dreaming about the future again.

The book made me realize my dream and more enough, motivate to work towards it. Bought me out of the labyrinth i was stuck in, which no amount of any therapy could. After a long while actually made me take a risk, a life-changing one and i'm actually glad i did it. I believe in following my heart now, no matter how hard it is and that the little steps would lead us to our dreams. No book other than The Secret would have helped in it more than now and its only right to return the favor!
Everyone of you out there, you are a hero and if you don't believe in yourselves, no one else will. So, get out of your comfort zone and do what scares you. It will be more than worth it, following your dream. I will promise you that and if you need any help, anything at all, someone to talk to,i will be right there. If you feel like there's no way out,hopeless and your dreams are worthless ,know that you are facing it because you are getting closer to your dream, even though it might not feel so, at the moment! But first go ahead and read this book. For, you are a hero and i believe in you!

3.5 stars. Listened to this one. Byrne narrates and has actors do the voices of real life people she has interviewed. It's well done. I really enjoyed this book and found it uplifting and inspirational. For people who expect a lot of new or different material from Byrne, it might be disappointing. However, I found it to be an excellent reminder and would recommend it.
