Anonymous (above),
It's odd how CSists individually (or in small groups, as you describe) are quite open to New Age products and ideas. Yet, paradoxically, when TMC openly courted the New Age Market* the membership objected and through out the chief promoter, Virginia Harris!
Go figure.
I took a look at Amazon, and The Secret is listed as 103. Pretty good staying power after all this time, I'm afraid. And there's a plethora of followups, like calenders, daily readings, meditations, and books that offer you the means to delve more deeply into "the Secret." Then there are books critical of it. Hardly the number of followups of Warren's "40 Days" stuff, but a lot! I understand the author, Rhonda Byrne Page, is a Mormon, but she soft-peddles that.
*These included buying space at New Age/Psychic fairs, planting articles in New Age periodicals, participating in mind-body medical conferences & organizations, especially at Beth Israel Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and the like.
