What they share
Both teach that what you hold in mind shapes what shows up in your life. Both trace back to the same early twentieth-century sources.
Where they differ
The Secret gives a formula in three words. Your Wish Is Your Command spends most of its length on what makes the formula fail: vague goals, low belief, and the opposing thoughts that arrive right behind a stated intention.
The authors
Rhonda Byrne is a television producer with no controversy to speak of. Kevin Trudeau has a serious legal record, which we set out in our review. You should read it before registering.
The verdict
See The Secret first if you have not. If you have, and you want the method, the free course is the next step.
