  I have read this book 2 times so far since I picked it up last week. I will continue to read it at least once a month because it seems to reveal more and more each time. Suprisingly simplisitic considering the philosophies that are outlined in this spiritual gem of a book.

  I have read this book 2 times so far since I picked it up last week. I will continue to read it at least once a month because it seems to reveal more and more each time. Suprisingly simplisitic considering the philosophies that are outlined in this spiritual gem of a book. I love the fact that it does not attempt to influence the way you think but compliment it with a map for being able to abide by these seven spiritual laws. I recommend that this book become a permanent addition to anyones library, young, old, religious, athiest, agnostic, etc. It has something for everybody. I am amazed at how simple it is to abide by these laws. Deepak Chopra distills the core of his teachings. He conveys wonderful guiding principles for all of us trying to create and maintain productive and satisfying lives. There is only one other book I have read which caused this kind of stir in my soul and that was "The Prophet" By Khalil Gibran. (show less)

  Within the unfortunately titled "self help" genre, you could do a lot worse than Deepak Chopra. In the self-help/success genre, this is even more true. I saw this book as an argument for a more enlightened, more compassionate form of capitalism. It's a very quick read (I finished it in the bookstore). If I were to boil the message of this book down to a sentence, it would be: By practicing awareness, and being kind and open-hearted with everyone around you, you will find success.

  Chopra effectively frames the connection between our individual well-being and the well-being of everyone. He advocates giving without the expectation of return, non-judgment, conscious choice-making, and the revolutionary idea that every individual has unique gifts and the seeds of transformation within them.

  What I didn't like about this book was the certainty with which Chopra expresses his point of view -- why are these "laws", and who says there are only seven of them? Also, he frames himself as a bridge between philosophy and science, but this book is very short on the latter.

  At the end of the day, Chopra is one of the most prominent voices in the world today for peace, awareness, and understanding. So if you or someone you know is looking for "success" under whatever definition, this is absolutely worth reading. (show less)
