The Worst Bestsellers

Episode 03: The Secret


Listen Later

For our third episode, Kait and Renata are joined by writer/activist Keane to discuss The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. This best-selling self-help book taught us that the Universe doesn’t understand the word “no.” Seriously, the Universe, no means no. Listen now to learn how to manipulate the Universe to cook a man! Or cook a man’s meal. The choice is yours. This episode was definitely not brought to you by Christian Mingle dot com.

Readers advisory: Here.

Footnotes: Blank check from the Universe.

Oprah on how The Secret made The Color Purple happen.

Barbara Ehrenreich’s Bright-Sided Explores the Dark Side of Positive Thinking

Candy pairing: Kait says sugary protein bars, Keane says Willy Wonka gum, Renata says a poisoned apple.

Coming up next: I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villain by Courtney Robertson
