In this abridged edition of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Chopra gathers the most powerful pearls of wisdom from his classic bestselling book, and offers his readers a life-altering perspective on the attainment of success. Based on natural laws that govern all of creation, this book shatters the myth that success is the result of hard work, exacting plans, or driving ambition. This pocketbook edition of his most popular title ever, distills the essence of Chopra’s teachings into seven simple, yet powerful principles that can easily be applied to create success in all areas of your life. Filled with timeless wisdom and practical steps you can apply right away, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success is a book you will want to read and refer to again and again. A classic edtion to your metaphysical library | Customer Rating: | Deepak's books have always had a sort of once-removed cerebral feel to them that never completely resonated with me. However, I think that Chopra's book was a necessary stepping stone for me. You have to be aware of spiritual truths before you can live them or become them. Unfortunately his words felt too abstract and always just beyond my realization. This was frustrating, for I wanted to BE the teachings, not just hear about them or discuss them, no matter how inspiring they were. And so, it wasn't until I discovered Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth" that I really "got it." Tolle only has one "Law" for spiritual success, so to speak, but that one Law empowers all the remaining six that Chopra speaks of. Some call it mindfulness, others being in the now, or present-moment awareness. And for me that's what worked. Only then subsequently going back over Chopra's "Seven Laws of Spiritual Success" did I get beyond the barrier between me and Chopra's words. And yes, that subsequent careful rereading of Chopra's book clearly affirms that mindfulness is paramount before anything else.
In retrospect here's what I came to discover: What Chopra describes are the BEHAVIORS of a spiritual person who is ALREADY mindful or in present-moment awareness. However, if you're not when reading his books, or practicing the principles thereof, then the truths therein are all just words until you understand what that mindfulness means and actually DO IT. Till then no amount of reading or reading such books, or meditating for that matter, will make any difference. You can be a great at meditation yet still be relatively mindless during the remainder of the day. You can always tell such individuals by how they behave in the dating scene, work, family reunions and traffic. And so: My one criticism of Chopra's book is as follows: He talks about the need to be mindful beyond meditation periods, but Chopra never actually explains the ways to reliably attain, maintain and recognize such mindfulness in yourself (as well as the strategies our minds use to fight it). Tolle masterfully fills in the missing information and provides the tools you need to both realize and become the Now. Finally, for any offended Deepak fans, before you click "not helpful," consider that Deepak wrote HIGH PRAISE of Eckhart Tolle's book "The Power of Now," where on its front cover Deepak wrote as follows: "One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power." | must read! | Customer Rating: | | A must read. A short concise, yet profound inspirational reading. I found in it a summary of my believes and a practical guide to success. I have already bought more than a dozen copies that I have given to family, friends and those in need of hope. Specially good for those not so fond of reading, because they can do it very quickly while learning a great deal. Thanks Deepak! | Nothing amazing, but a good book | Customer Rating: | Typical for him, good book, but nothing to knock your socks off. Try this one too, Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition] | Quick Read | Customer Rating: | | I read the book in an hour. It is a good pocket book. I find by just reading the summary of each chapter is enough on a daily basis. | pocket classic | Customer Rating: | | Great compact summary of Deepak Chopra's work. A little book that you can read again and again for inspiration. Good bedtime reading. |
