Rating: Summary: Best Book YET! Amazing!! Review: I think the title says it all. I highly recommend to anyone. This book is the key to anything you desire. It has already helped me to change my life. Its done in 1 week what Paxil (for anxiety) has not done in 6 months. This is the key, so open the door. Deepak has outdone himself. Peace, Love, and Happiness to all.BB
Rating: Summary: Fulfill Your Desires! Review: I took Deepak's class, SynchroDestiny, years ago at the Chopra Center. I loved it! So I was really happy that I could have this book to read over and over again. And for anyone who likes the book, I recommend that you take the class, it is phenomenal! There are so many things that I like about this book. Perhaps the most valuable for me is in learning to recognize life's little signals - those messages that show us we're headed in the right direction. It's about awareness, and recognizing that these are not random coincidences, but signposts we should stop and look at. This book, and "The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success" are two books that I will always keep and refer to often. Thanks, Deepak, for sharing your profound wisdom with us once again!
Rating: Summary: Will frustrate then disappoint serious seekers and readers Review: In any systematic book (and Chopra does attempt to describe a system of synchronicity), you expect an author to employ a powerful set of concepts (a), use them in delightfully unexpected ways (b), to really reveal a world that is not only fantastic (c), but _applies well_ to your everyday life, causing a shift in perspective (d). Addressing these general points: (a) The concepts used in this book are not powerful. (b) These concepts are in fact well-worn, and pretty much cliche, as are their connections to each other: "Soul", "I", "mind", "archetype", "coincidence", etc (c) The world of "synchrodestiny" does not exist to the degree that the author describes... Even after faithfully executing the (very pleasant) exercises, I exist still as I have... in a simply nice, meditative life, but one which does not endure, nor surprise. (d) We'll just see. I still continue to reside in the normal world, which is wonderful and miraculous in itself... but I have to strive really hard to remember Mr. Chopra's points as I live within the minutes of my day... his practices just aren't resonant enough. Mr. Chopra simply oversells. I have a feeling that Mr. Chopra has spent so much time "in his head" on his proprietary notion of "synchrodestiny", that he really doesn't understand how to relate it to a real person. He instead writes for one of his "average readers", someone who has (1) retired from work (or never had to work, better said), and (2) has not read a serious book in their lifetime. We know who these people are. A real shame, too, especially for such a diverse mind. Unfortunately, he has little to say to those _with_ minds. I sense that Chopra was reluctant to even include a half-serious examination of 'nonlocality', the only concept that was unfamiliar, novel, and potent. He reigned in even that topic, and left this reader completely unsatisfied. If you want to run a seminar on the topic of... of what? 'spirituality' I guess... I suppose this book, read outloud, may generate the applause you're looking for. Beyond that, it's simply an interesting amalgam of old Hindu spirituality, semi-serious physics, dubious case studies, and vague modern generalities. The -true- world of coincidence is obviously beyond our current spiritual comprehension... it's certainly beyond the abilities of Mr. Chopra, at least in the book he has presented as his 'statement' on the topic. I'm sorry to have to be so harsh, but I expected more from a great mind (and I still do). You will read the first half of this book, then you will skim the second half, and within six weeks the entire essence will be a memory. Maybe Deepak Chopra will awaken one day, and begin work on a book that will endure beyond his next slate of seminars.
Rating: Summary: Take notice of your reality Review: In his latest book, Deepak Chopra tells us to be conscious of the messages that we receive from the universe. I did not find a lot of new information here, but enjoyed the method of presentation immensely, so I recommend it. I also recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self, a superlative universal book to accept and let go of what is out of our control and OPTIMIZE what is in our control and create our best life. I also recommend The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People which gives you a solid path to effectiveness and to get along with others.
Rating: Summary: The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire Review: Ithink this book is very good the authur expresses their feeling while writeing the book and i think that everyone should get a chance to read it because it is fab the way the story is put together is very good and it should be used more often. i love this book so much that i would read it 1 million times and not get board of it. i think that evryone else who reads it will be amazed.This book should be out in more local and school libraries so that more children can get the chance to read it so to come to the end of my review i will say that the book is excellent and that the authur should be very proud of thierself because they have done a brilliant job.
Rating: Summary: ENLIGHTENING! Review: No book is for everyone ... no book can reach every person in the infinite variety of lives we live. But THIS book was precisely what I was looking for when I found it. I've referred to it over and over and over again and it has proven to be of invaluable assistance to me as I've worked to change my life from the inside out. As I first read the book, and was blown away by how perfectly it filled in the gaps in the picture of life that was forming within me, I also realized "this book isn't for everybody". Read the other reviews and follow your instincts. If it sounds like something that you've been searching for but haven't been able to find ... then I think you'll be delightfully pleased. If it sounds like smoke and mirrors to you, then look for something else. If you're in the mood for an apple, why eat an orange and blame the orange when you're done?

Rating: Summary: A NIce Book I Liked Review: Some of it was kind of intellectual, but in general I thought this was a good book on ways to understand cooincidence and to try to create them. I would recommend "Effortless Wellbeing" by Evan Finer as a way to get better at creating and fulfilling desires also.
Rating: Summary: I found bliss at the Chopra Center Review: SynchroDestiny changed my life. Understanding the deeper reasons behind most occurances in our daily existence is a profound gift. The magic in this new book gives me the opportunity to carry the healing and strength I found at the Chopra Center where-ever I go. I am forever grateful to Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon for the selfless work they do and for books like Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire.
Rating: Summary: Very valuable Review: There are so many things that I like about this book. The most valuable for me is in learning to recognize life's little signals - those messages that show us we're headed in the right direction. When you are awareness, and recognizing that these are not random coincidences, but signposts we should stop and look at.
Other book that help me a lot is Sex and the perfecf lover by Mabel Iam.
