What's with the vision boards on TV shows??

Has anyone noticed that characters on a few TV shows have been doing vision boards lately?  The last episode of Happy Endings had Jane instructing Penny to do one.  And the most recent episode of Two Broke Girls had one (blondie explains to Max how it helps her).  I've never heard of this before...

Re: What's with the vision boards on TV shows??

  • I'm pretty sure its from the book the self-help book, The Secret. Supposedly, if you put all of your hopes and dreams on a vision board, it helps you better achieve them.

  • Got it! Thanks!  It's interesting how they're popping up on shows lately. 
  • I've seen it on random shows throughout the past few years, including one hilarious episode of It's Always Sunny. The book itself was featured many times on Oprah, so I'm sure that's helped keep it going.

  • They had it on season 1 of the Big C.
  • I never read the Secret but started hearing about vision boards a couple of years ago. I am just noticing them in tv shows now as well.

    Agreed!  Can't wait to see what happens next season!
