The secret is a long and complicated documentary about getting what you want, basically. It explains the power of positive thinking and living, and optimism, and it EXPLAINS the mind-over-matter mentality. It also has a lot to do with the law of attraction.
Example:
You're driving around and you're worried you won't find anywhere to park. Just as you thought, every parking space is filled and you have to park somewhere like, four miles away.
What happened there was that you were concentrating so hard on there NOT being a spot available to you that it attracted just that - no spot was available to you.
Example of using the secret:
As you head towards your destination, you picture a parking place right in front of the entrance you want. As you enter the parking lot, a car pulls out of just that spot and it's yours.
That's how the secret works, kind of. It involves controlling your life and your own destiny a lot, and you've gotta be pretty self-aware to use it.
Step 1 is you have to know what you want.
Step 2 is you have to ask for what you want.
Step 3 is aligning yourself with what you want so the universe can respond to give it to you.
A big mistake some people make in using the secret is that they don't do anything to help the process. Someone wants to be a rockstar, and they just expect the universe to be like *snap* hey, you're a rockstar. Sweet. Go make money.
Doesn't work like that. You've gotta do the work - record demos, get discovered, but it's the universe pushing you towards that. You're giving it a push, in a way. Mind over matter.
There's a lot more to it, but it's too hard to go into in a question response. Try googling it, you might get more information. I just gave you the basics.
Hope this answered your question.
