That box contained Assaraf's vision boards where he would put up pictures of the things he wanted in his life so as to attract them to him. In another example, John Assaraf had just moved to a new house and was unpacking when his son came in and asked what was in a certain box. Finally, after a month, an idea came to him and he ended up making $92,327 that year.

Every morning when he woke up, he would see the bill, close his eyes and visualize having that $100,000 per year lifestyle. Some of these examples are really interesting, like the one of Jack Canfield who made $100,000 by making a fake $100,000 bill (just adding more zeros to a $1 bill) and pasting it on the ceiling above his bed. So The Secret is largely made up of quotes from people who have been successful in their chosen occupations. Rhonda Byrne claims that all great people have practiced the method she promotes in The Secret and she gets people who are well-known in their fields to talk about their rise to success. The Secret, however, claims that it can give you everything that you want and also that the answer is really simple and has been known by great people throughout the centuries. Most self-help books are not like this because they generally focus on one thing-doing well in business, overcoming depression or having a good relationship with your significant other, for example. The idea behind The Secret is to bring to the masses the secret of happiness and success in everything you do. Many people who have read The Secret audiobook or seen the DVD of the same name report that their lives have changed completely because of this book.
