Visible Community and the Secret

I've been reading a book called "The Secret." What is the "Secret?" Secret is the law of attraction. The premise is that we are all connected and interlinked to the universe in such a way that our positive/good feelings attract positive/good results as well as negative/bad feelings attract negative/bad results. Although I haven't finished the book yet, this book resonates with Joel Osteen's book "Your Best Life Now." What I mean by that is this: both of these books have something in common, that is, they both are self-centered approach to a world full of self-centered people. The result is, it's a very marketable book. "The Secret" comes from a universalist's point of view where it really doesn't matter what religion you believe, because "The Secret" is transcendent of all religions.
At the heart of the matter, both of these books and the Bible are completely different. Bible comes from a God-centered point of view where as these books come from a self-centered and self-reliant point of view. As long as we miss that mark of our need to be God-centered & God-reliant in our lives, I would suspect any books or thoughts who claim to know the "Secret."
