Eg., if you want to find a $10 bill, you probably will, eventually. But if you want to find $100 bill, you'll have to wait longer. And its no use getting impatient. If you are merely looking around, and the object in question is a commonplace thing, you will find it. You will increase or decrease your odds depending how hard you look, too.
People also want things they can obtain. So everyone who buys the book has some major but common thing they want. Usually a relationship or money. The average woman might have a vague sense of, a man with a car. The man might think, a woman. Common place objects of pursuit. They already think and strategize constantly for these things, so, its no surprise that they find them.
So between the fact that we live in a society which has everything we want, and directing our attention to obtaining it, "The Secret" is in fact, a very real thing and not a bad strategy, however I see no reason to read the book, as you're getting the answer to "The Secret", right here. Yes, I am the agency of the universe. You're welcome.
