There are massive amounts of information in this book. That was my only complaint: that Chopra covered so much, he sacrificed going into specifics.My favorite part was when he discussed how the body is literally shaped by repressed emotions. By examining someone's posture, you can determine if th...
One of those books everyone should have to read. Not a "how to" or a rigidly prescriptive program -- this is more about a change in point-of-view: the relationship between "Mind" and the brain is something everyone should take some time to think about. If we did, perhaps we would be able to trans...
When I started this book I was intrigued and that kept on for few chapters. The book did talk about a lot of physics and science and I have to mention this because the title has Spirituality and I was really skeptic if Authors would talk about Physics in any detail. There was a lot of stuff on Ne...
I give this 5 stars because it is very well explained, and is powerful wisdom relevant to everyone. We are all caught in a dualistic world, between what we see as good and evil, god and the devil, saint and sinner, light and shadow. But if we embrace ourselves and see all these as belonging to us...
I have recently begun a jag of trying to be the "best me that I can be" which for me starts with reading. I picked up this book on a whim after perusing the anemic "self help" section at my local Barnes and Noble. I didn't know much about any of the three authors, although I had heard of Chopra, ...
I listened to this book as an audio book while I rode my stationary bike in the living room. I'm not against counting audiobooks on Goodreads, so I will. :PI very much enjoyed this book. It gave some great insight into the human psyche, and confirmed things about people in general that you were a...
Couldn't finish it. The entire book's message can be summed up into a chapter. I only finished Deepak's section. As usual, his lyrical vernacular is entertaining to read, but it was extremely redundant.Worth picking up off the bookshelf if you're feeling blue, slightly depressed, or displaced. It...
The good news is that there is some good advice in here on how to live a happier and more fulfilling life. Having said that, as you can see, I only gave it three stars. I knew going in that there would be a lot of discussion of eastern spiritualism and I was interested to hear what he had to s...
This book is AMAZING. It has a sense of humor with a lot of wisdom. The words are easy to understand and the scenes are easy to imagine. I love this book so much I read it for 4 hours only. I just can't close nor hold it down. I was into the riddles and the next tests for Mickey. I love the myst...
there were some funny jokes in this book, funny enough for me to attempt to memorize them and add them to my whole 2 other jokes i can ever remember... but i just didn't like the parable story about a selfish comic who is visited by the ghost of his father and an otherworldy guide/guru who teache...
An interesting read. Not a life-changing book for me, but there were some of his observations and spiritual instructions made me stop and think. He makes his point in a quick and simple fashion, and you aren't drowned in complex philosophy commentary. Detachment, letting go of fear and all those ...
This book contains a loooot of Feedback. Its one of those books that leave you thinking, willing to change, give space to self-improvement... it makes you CONSCIOUS, really CONSCIOUS of the right now right here. This are the notes I took on it... I thought writing them would help a lot on the har...
I did not like this book as much as his previous books. A short, quick read.On page 13, he unveils his formula for happiness:Happiness= Set Point + Conditions of Living + Voluntary Activities. We all have a certain set point, which is how naturally happy you are. Unhappy people seem to interpret ...
I was curious as to Deepak's writings since Ian Somerhalder began tweeting about him a couple of months back. I am also currently at a sort of crossroads in my life, with me desperately needing guidance as to solve a number of issues that are holding me back. There were chapters and key parts of ...
Well, it was interesting. The first third was interesting, about Muhammad growing up an orphan and snippets of his life and personality viewed through third parties. The second third was also interesting, with Muhammad being exposed to the intrigues of his time and eventually seeing the angel o...
This book was a great introduction into a subject I knew nothing about. Now whenever I read something about Islam or Muhammad, I won't feel entirely ignorant. The story was easy to follow. As a historical fiction, it wasn't the best, but the author was able to keep my attention throughout. I...
Sorry, Deepak, I love cold pepperoni pizza. I’m also not fond of spending big bucks for crappy cafeteria food, so I pack my lunch, refrigerate it, and—gasp—reheat it in the microwave. I know, I know. According to your book WHAT ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR?, I’m not supposed to do these things. You say the...
I found this book a painful example of an unnecessary conflict among Science and Spirituality. My basic arguement for Spirituality begins and ends with that it works. To try to justify it with proof is much to far beyond our current understanding of physics. Deepak tries to argue that the second ...
I really liked his views within this book, unfortunately I had to basically wait until the Epilogue to hear them. Chopra highlights stories from myriad religious backgrounds and faiths to illustrate the term we all know as GOD. He utilizes stories from Job, Socrates, Paul, Shakara, Rumi, Julian...
