Award-Winning Book Exposes the Dark Side of The Secret
The ideas behind Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret sabotage the human spirit, as one woman learned firsthand . . . the hard way
New York---Her slavish devotion to affirmations and the law of attraction (which refers to the art of demanding spectacular rewards in exchange for little effort) dragged prolific writer Carol Rutter through the bowels of Hell for 17 years. Instead of being rich, thin, and madly in love, she was dead broke and faced a profound medical decline.
Over time, obsessively reciting affirmations meant that her life simply stood still like the calm before a storm. Her life then shattered into a pitiful assortment of tiny fragments as if a tornado had struck.
Rutter does not blame the counterfeit, magical nature of books like Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret as the spark for her devastating reversal of fortune. Instead, Rutter cites her own gullibility for not recognizing that “If it sounds too good to be true . . . ”
In her award-winning book, Burying the Secret: The Road to Ruin Is Paved with Books about the Law of Attraction, Rutter offers a fresh and startling analysis of the law of attraction’s shadowy side in exhaustive detail and reveals The Secret’s hollow core. “Snake oil at its finest,” Rutter writes.
Burying The Secret is inspired by Eastern thought, mysticism, and psychological matters as they relate to spirituality. Laws governing cause and effect, transition, and suffering are significant, as well as key influences like learning lessons, voluntary acts of redemption, sacrifice, and free will.
Citing more than 300 books, Rutter’s well-crafted text and savvy perceptions indict The Secret for its refusal to acknowledge that unanswered prayers are the norm and for its unfathomable premise: All you have to do is believe that dramatic, life-altering changes are possible within 30 days . . .
A 2008 Eric Hoffer Notable Book Award winner, Burying the Secret was also acclaimed by three book critics at Midwest Book Review and by other reviewers
“ . . . provides the reader with an especially articulate, thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion . . . a seminal work founded on truly impressive research . . . [Burying the Secret] is very highly recommended.”
Susan Bethany, Midwest Book Review
“ . . . The 10-page exercise at the back of the book is worth the price alone.”

Back Cover Text
A prolific writer of published articles, Carol Rutter provides the reader with an especially articulate, thoughtful and thought-provoking discussion of . . . the law of attraction as it relates to relationships and other universal laws and principles in Burying The Secret.
Drawing upon more than 300 books in the fields of mysticism, psychology, Eastern philosophy, and metaphysics, Carol has compiled and written a particularly reader-friendly and occasionally iconoclastic self-help manual based on key influences that impinge upon the development of the human soul. Among these fundamental influences are the learning of lessons, voluntary acts of redemption, sacrifice, and free will.
A seminal work founded upon truly impressive research that spanned a decade, Burying The Secret is very highly recommended for non-specialist general readers with an interest in spirituality, self-improvement, and metaphysics.
Susan Bethany
Midwest Book Review
Burying The Secret also indicts The Secret for its refusal to acknowledge that unanswered prayers are the norm and for its unfathomable premise: The law of attraction thrives as an independent force.
