Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Review: Truly a work of art. Simply put: one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Invaluable Approach In the Journey of Life
Review: A clear and simple path to achieving affluence in all areas of one's life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for widening your perspectives on life.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. One can read it in less time than it takes to watch his or her's favorite television program. I'm not sure that someone who has not read other books by Deepak Chopra would understand the significance of his brief ideas. I suggest also reading his book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success". The concepts in both of these books are enlightening and make practical sense. Unfortunately, these ideas, like thousands of others that are meant to guide one through life, require patience and a lot of faith. I have yet to read anything that actually works and guarantees lasting success or hapiness. Too Bad! But thanks to Mr. Chopra for trying.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Inspiring, but what do you do next?
Review: I found the book to be inspiring, but at the end, I am left with the feeling of "Great, but what do I do now to solve my financial problems and create greater wealth". Still it is a good read, but I think that there are better books on the subject. Please see my other reviews.

Summary: Excellent book...
Review: I got a hold of this book quite by accident, when I was browsing through the investment section in the library. I was kind of fascinated by the book as I had heard people discuss Deepak Chopra and his works at my work and at social events (and not even once without a snicker from someone). I decided to give it a shot, muttering to myself that the author better prove himself to me to hold my interest.

I did not know I was in for a treat. This book is full of clear cut, purified, distilled version of something which everyone needs to know. The contents of the book are nothing but reality and the writing basically reinforces it, without being too intrusive/condescending about it, if you know what I mean.

The author recommends that you read the book again and again/ by reading a few pages at a time. He also recommends that you read the book in one sitting for the first time. I agree with this, because, the book is like an instruction, and the author demands some attention, which I felt he rightly deserves. This is not one of the tomes you normally come across which preaches and rambles at the same time. This one teaches and imparts clear and concise information. Whether you agree with it or not is totally your own prerogative. Give it a read. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

Summary: The First Step to Creating Affluence
Review: I have read and reread this book for two years. I also own the audio cassette. This is not a "how to" book that lists step by step how to become wealthy as if you were building cabinets or installing a door. It is, however, a very powerful book that attempts to change the way one thinks. Creating affluence or building wealth requires an entirely different way of thinking that most of us were not taught as we were growing up. In order to change anything in your life, you must first change your thinking. This book teaches you this in an easy to read format. The Quantum theory is not as easy to understand, but it is necessary to explain how these thoughts and techniques work.

Much like any tool, it is only as effective as its user. If you do as the author suggests and read this book daily or listen to the tape, you will reap the rewards. You may not grasp all of it the first few times through.

I feel that it is only the first step. I would also recommend that one read the Rich Dad series after this one. If you haven't read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, you should read it as well.

Summary: Principles that we should all follow...
Review: The A-Z Steps that Deepak has listed in his book are more than just "steps" to affluence. I think most, if not all of the steps listed, are great "principles" for everyone to live by. The author also indicates that these steps are not only going to provide an abundance of financial wealth but and abundance of anything we desire in life. This is most important for me in my growth as a person. I personally measure my success as something more than just financial wealth.

In order to fully appreciate the steps that he has listed, I think that it is a good idea to read a few pages each day or once a week in order to fully understand and make a habit of each step. The author suggests this as a method of becoming "aware" of each step.

Overall, a great book on personal growth. The principles he teaches are time tested and true. The only problem I found was that the author tends to get very deep into Quantum Theory and physics. I do not see the significance of discussing these topics in a book about personal growth and affluence in life.

Summary: I was expecting more from this cursory book
Review: This book is quite short and can be read in about an hour.

Frankly, I was expecting more. It's really like a long brochure or outline rather than a book. While it did offer a few helpful points, it did not go enough in depth in expanding upon them. After reading this book, I felt like I had read an outline or a proposal to a book rather than an actual book. Thus, I regret my purchase of this book.
