The Newest Secret by Deborah S. Nelson is
not just another motivational book. The
subtitle, Part 1: Introduction to Dream Planning indicates a big
difference. Nelson teaches the power of truthful
thinking rather than merely positive thinking.
Truth is fundamental to achieving any dream and Nelson offers tools to
help the reader identify and speak the truth in his/her life. Each chapter includes a “power study” with
links to helpful resources, making this book an inspirational title and a reference book.
The culmination of the process of dream planning is to
actually write and publish your dream.
Your pen bridges the gap between imagination and creation. Creation is an important theme in the book,
as Nelson embraces a creative worldview (one of abundance) rather than a
competitive worldview (one of scarcity.)
Important features I found especially notable included her
discussion of overcoming entropy and gaining momentum (engineers like physics
metaphors) and her coverage of what to do when
the dream arrives. Gratitude is an
important attitude to have! Nelson also offers useful tips for dealing
with “dream deniers” who can’t or won’t see your dream.
The Newest Secret would make a fine gift for a graduating senior or
a helpful study for a person experiencing “midlife crisis.”
