When I hear people say that they’ve watched The Secret and nothing has happened, I always ask if they’ve listened to the commentary that comes on the movie. The commentary is a transpacific interview given by the producer, Paul Harrington interviewing the executive producer and creator of The Secret, Rhonda Byrne. Until I listened to that commentary, the actual movie didn’t click for me.

Personal Experience

When I first watched The Secret, I didn’t really give it too much thought and put it away for two years. Then I cracked it back open when I was at my lowest point and simply wanted to feel good. After I re-watched it, it made me feel better and it made more sense than the first time I watched it but I still felt like something was missing from it. I became crystal clear about it all only after listening to the transpacific interview/commentary on the DVD where Rhonda Byrne explains why implementing what’s on the movie works and shares her personal experience with it.

Why the Commentary is Better

There were a lot of people featured in this documentary, and each person only had a limited amount of time to speak. Today I understand why they structured the DVD like this, but I could see how it could seem unfocused and jumpy to a person searching for answers and seeing it for the first time. However, in the commentary Rhonda Byrne has the whole length of the movie to respond to the common questions and concerns Paul Harrington brings up.

After I heard her commentary, I listened to it about 10-15 more times. Then I went back to watch the movie again and it all made sense.
