For some reason, I had been of the impression that the popularity of “The Secret”– that book Oprah puffed a couple of years ago– was on the wane. I was recently proven wrong when I spoke with a bright, articulate young man who had just moved to the U.S. from Peru. He was deeply engaged in the book’s message.
