Who Moved My Secret?

The Ancient Wisdom That Tells You It's Okay to Be Greedy



Jim Gerard
June 2007     ISBN: 156858380X

Since the publication of the latest self-help bible The Secret, the whole genre has begged for parody. Who Moved My Secret pokes fun at some of the most preposterous features of the original book, including:

1) An explanation of the Law of Attraction. (If you�re gullible enough to believe in it, Rhonda Byrne et al will come for your credit card number.)

2) Instruction on how the Law of Attraction works in all aspects of life (health, career, relationships and finances), with testimonials from people who�ve created daily miracles in their lives. (Walking on water! Making the lame hip!)

And so on.

And that's not all. Who Moved My Secret comes with lists, charts, and choice bits of spiritual wisdom from the great teachers (including the Great Chicken who provides all that soup for your soul). Best of all, it introduces an even superior Secret: It's the Secret, Stupid! (ITSS), along with hands-on instruction on how to use ITSS, how to handle your newfound success once you do, and who to sue if it doesn�t work. (HINT: Not the author.)
