I disliked the movie "The Secret," and felt that the messages were too sensationalized and simplistic; and could have caused harm to undiscerning people who came away from it thinking that they could just wish for something and it would fall from heaven. But on the other hand, it did put out into the mainstream the concept that there was more to life than being a victim.
In the case of Thrive, however one might disagree with the way it was put together--melodramatic music to engage the emotions for example, which may be thought of as manipulative--it still served to give a vision of a gentler, more productive, and equal way to live (not to say that it was the pinnacle of anything). And I agree with TN that the main points of the controlling elite, corporations and the rest of the hierarchy, are arguably valid.
