The Path to Love : Renewing the Power of Spirit in Your Life

Rating:
Summary: All puff, no substance.
Review: I was truly looking forward to Chopra's latest book,THE PATH to LOVE. Unfortunately, my expectations were squelched when I got to yet another dead end discussion on love. Chopra puts the problem out there, but offers no guidance on solving it. He distracts his readers with goofy quizzes, and then leaves you yearning for a solution to your predicament. I was disappointed with his pseudo-philosophy for love that always ended up back at "getting in touch with your spirit." It was all too abstract for this reader. You could call this novel, THE PATH to NOWHERE

Review: This book brings back the forgotten ingredient in everybody life : LOVE for himself (self esteem) to be able to truly love the other persons (wife) and the rest of the human race. In chapter 4 (the attachment problem= surrender) : it explain HOW to avoid addictive love ; thus rendering us more in control of our lives; in other words, how to achieve non-attachment or de-tachment from our love ones, to be able to achieve real and NORMAL love for them, by letting yourself go : physically, mentally and emotionally. This book also mentions similar topics to what the world famous pshychologist Anthony de Mello mentions : you have to learn to KNOW yourself, nobody can do it for you , you have to take the necessary TIME, patience and perseverance to be able to know yourself better, and he also mention that when you are SAD, depress or angry , that is not the real you , and Chopra also recommends the same things as A. de Mello : don't confuse your EGO with you, we must tell ourselves that that is not our real I, but our ego acting for us, and that we must keep repeating , that these feeling will go away soon : the feelings of sadness, depression or anger; thus, this is a difficult but excellent book to read , it must be read at leat twice to be able to grasp the real meaning, and it must be read with a quiet and humble frame of reference , without pre-potence, without thinking that we know it all, to be able to understand the underlying meaning of the oriental philosophy that has many thousands of year of excellent wisdom. Dr, Chopra also talks of emotional black holes and how they drain our emotional energy and how to avoid falling into them by understanding the fear behind them, this book must be read with patience and understanding and it must be re-read at your earliest convenience, because good things in life takes time, labor and perseverance to adquire. good luck and happines and see you at the top

Summary: This book made me run home....
Review: This was a suspense filled, heart capturing,warm touching, wellcomposed, love book that had me gasping at the pages to finish. Istrongly recommend this book to someone in a strong relationship. It once had me running home to check on my wife after reading the part where the lady was being strangled while holding the rosary in her hand pleading for mercy. I finaly made it home to find my wife in bed safe with my baby , and me standing there sweating at 3:3o in the morning. This author should be acknowledged for his strong craftmenship in writing such devoted, love compelling books.

Summary: A GIFT FOR FANS OF CHOPRA
Review: While Deepak Chopra is usually too "New Age" for my taste, I am immediately impressed by both his compassion and his wisdom. In The Path to Love, Chopra helps us to deepen our most intimate love relationships with the gifts of the spirit. Drawing on the wisdom of the ancient Vedic texts of India and employing stories of "love gone wrong," Chopra illuminates the seven stages of love and then gives us specific exercises to help overcome the obstacles to love in our own lives. Not really my cup of tea, but definitely a five star book for those who enjoy Chopra.
