I had lunch with a buddy today, and he has the afternoon off so he thought he would watch the movie, The Secret. I told him it was over hyped, but he'll probably watch it anyway. The Oprah Winfrey Show presented the basic of The Secret on one of its shows, and while the show was good, as most of them are, it still did little to convince me that there was more to The Secret than just common sense dressed up in metaphysics.

The Oprah Winfrey show has been presenting Dr. Oz lately, and he is just incredible. I always tune into the Oprah Winfrey Show when he is on. He has been able to advance more healthy ideas than many other dieticians or health professionals by his unique ability to use plain English to explain body processes, and demonstrate what bad habits like overeating or smoking do the human body. He is one of those rare people who can take complex subjects and make them simple so ordinary people can understand them, and relate to them so that they see the implications of these bad habits and their consequences.
