Rating: Summary: A book to reread and to live by Review: Everyones should have a space reserved on their book shelf for this book. The seven laws are simple to understand and to put into practice. Its serves as a manual for those interested in making a transformation in life, a paradigm shift, a change in attitude. Experience success with least effort and realize your pure potential.
Rating: Summary: Not so practical after all Review: I would call this book more of a mystical or spiritual guide rather than a practical one. His writings are very abstract and it was quite possible to find a concrete ground to stand upon when trying to understand the concepts. Nevertheless some of the laws do make sense, especially the Law of Dharma which states we all have to discover what are unique talents are and exploiting them. Some of the approaches are rather passive as well, like asking the reader not to defend their points of view. A section explaining on how we should balance these seven laws would be helpful rather than practising one of them per day of the week. I would not put this book on my highly recommended list. The only good points I can highlight is the briefness which allowed me to complete it in a matter of few hours.
Rating: Summary: worth reading Review: Go ahead and read it, it won't take much time (its very short).I read this after reading Wayne Dyer's "Manifest Your Destiny". They are almost identical but Dyer's book elaborates a bit more. I liked them both and feel like the "Laws" are very much in keeping with the Bible and the Christian teachings that I've grown up with. Both of these books are like the Reader's Digest Condensed Version of the golden rule. Everybody needs to be reminded of it now and then.
Rating: Summary: Deepak's Gem Review: Of all the books I own, this slim volume has been the most formative in my life. Laid on my pillow one crucial night, its wisdom provided both beacon and lifeline. Later, I distilled its seven chapters into a computer-generated poster for my bulletin board. Within that poster's oval border rotate the "laws" and my paraphrasing of their essence. For example: "Pure Potentiality"--Take time to be silent. Commune with nature. Practice non-judgment. "Detachment"--Allow yourself and others to be as they are. Don't force solutions. Accept uncertainty as the path to freedom. Remain open to an infinity of choices. And so on. These are but sample touchstones. The guidebook itself is the precious gem. For full understanding, read and re-read the charismatic words of Dr. Deepak Chopra, who, better than anyone, has popularized and made accessible to the Western mind the timeless wisdom of India. All of Deepak's writings are worth your time, attention, and money. But if you must buy only ONE Chopra book, let it be this one.
Rating: Summary: This book is somethin else Review: This book contains all of life's answers. It tells you how to be happy, how to never argue, how to never get stressed out, how to make money, how to live a meaningful life; it's all here. This book changed my life. I re-read portions of it very frequently to keep myself on the right track. The book has especially helped me to not get stressed out or upset and to not get into arguements with my girlfriend. I cannot say enough about this book. If you take the time to really understand and apply the teachings of this book - the possibilities for self improvement are limitless!
Rating: Summary: Exellent ! Review: Very clear written, most spirtual books just inspire me and remind me, but this one really showed how life works and what i can do to change what i want to change. The first time i read it i didnt like it much but the second time after a year its one of my favorite books. =^)
Rating: Summary: "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"---- " revisited" Review: Knowing how to be spiritual is going to be our quest, for our future understanding depends on it. It's going back to our roots so to speak...from where we came...remember? If "Healing Society" by Dr Seung Heun Lee requests a spiritual awakening to accomplish our goal of "playing well together" to accomplish our higher purpose of peace on earth... who better than a wise and compassionate teacher, we know as Deepak Chopra, to tell and show us how to be this? Deepak generously leads us to a beautiful place where all we have to do is "be." Spirit is what we are... and love is who we are... and where we come from and then return to. What more can we desire? Maybe to revisit that perfect state from which we came,perhaps? Maybe everything is possible and simple. Maybe we should return to our innocence. In innocence we are fearless in our thoughts and actions...totally in tune with our inner self. Let's be beautiful together...in spirit shared from our hearts where God lives. Read or reread "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of your Dreams and Deepak will give you the gift of your inner you...your "self"...dare to be beautiful!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful, if occasionally repetitive Review: This book is based on a very simple idea, one which seems almost like a Copernican inversion. That is, the Universe is intellegent enough to keep a billion trillion stars or more spinning in heavens and a billion trillion cells in every organism on this planet in working harmony. Therefore, its probably intellegent enough to solve your problems. Chopra explains the process of becoming sensitive to this greater intellegence, and allowing it to work through you. He uses seven laws, though these laws seem to be more conventions for division that actual principles. In truth, they really all blend together. The interrelatedness of the different sections leads to a repetitive feeling that can give the impression that you've read a passage before,which may cause you to skip the paragraph and thus miss a new point that has been made. This is only the real drawback to the book. Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend this book to anyone interested in finding deeper solutions to their worries.
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Deepak Chopra Book Review: I've read all of Deepak Chopra's books. From some I gained much, from some I gained little, but from this one I gained the most. It's filled with 7 common-sense principles for attaining your goals and being happy. All the principles presented are profound yet simple - some more practical than others. All are concepts most of us already believe in but don't know exactly how to elucidate. This book clears it up. If you're going to buy just one Deepak Chopra book, let this be the one.
Rating: Summary: Oh Deepak Review: He talks about detachment. He has a hard time detaching himself from the profits he pockets by finding buyers of his fastfood books. Enough said?
