Wealth of Information

Inspirational, informative, eye-opening book read by Deepak. Well worth the $ and/or credit. I will listen to this book at least two more times to absorb all he is sharing. If you want to better yourself and your present state of being, this is a fabulous book for you.

A classic... a must read (or hear)

Deepak really gives you sound advice on how to make life simpler and focus on what's important. I wish I could say I was truly successful applying all the things he suggests but everytime I do or try i have amazing results (most of the time). It's well worth your time and effort to hear this. Take it on a long road trip and listen to while you travel... you'll get hooked and won't be able to turn it off.

Concise and powerful

Concise, powerful, inspiring, practical, never boring, nice recorded (although you have to get used to the funny accent of Deepak Chopra).
I listened already two times in two days and I'm intending to listen to it many more times.
For each of the seven spiritual laws, you first get some theory and then some assignments how to bring the theory into practice.
To give one example of an assignment : "try not to judge anyone today". Much more difficult than it sounds, but the results can be tremendous.
I have read and listened to a lot of self development books in the past.
Of the short ones, this is one of the best in my opinion.

Breath of fresh (and nicely condensed) air

MMM- Need a shot in the arm? Heck- we all do on occasion. Chopra serves up a pleasant gourmet of real-world wisdom with just the right blend of depth (for the deep thinkers) and originality (for the creatives). They won't allow me to stick another star up there so I guess I'll have to be content with five.

worth the read and money

this book is worth the read and the Money. Deepak is very insightful and lays out the truth even if it does ring of hinduism. all of this can be applied to your life regardless of faith and is basically natural laws of the universe. His accent can throw you off but pay attention to the material. if you are truly interested in improving your life , you will not be disappoited in buying this book.

If you are searching for

If you are on a search to explain what has been happening to you/what is going on inside your head (and finding ra-ra motivation books seem to already assume you are feeling strong within you)..then this gives much food for thought. I found my uneducated (science based) thoughts about life actually seems fit/get answers from this philosophy. Then I felt comfortable to launch to other books on spirituality .. coming back to this book to review as my knowledge expanded and I worked on implementing. However major transformation of self takes time (and a few falls). If you are already strong/happy with who you are and looking for a fastpath to wealth/success - then it may be of interest but not the quick solution. If you have done little personal development then this is probably not the book to start with as concepts will seem strange.

A great book to help in life

I first heard of this book from my first Reiki teacher. So, I got it and listened to it twice in the same day. I didn’t mean to do this, but I found the information very useful. These simple teachings remind me a lot of the Dalai Lama teachings which is spread across many books. I’m working on one law at a time and working on them at work. This book has opened my eyes to all the good things I have in my life. This books leads into the books ‘Infinite Possibilities’ by Mike Dooley, ‘Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting!’ by Lynn Graham and ‘Destructive Emotions’ by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. I’ve combined all these into one continuous class sessions that has had a huge impact on my life. I will not give you the laws here and I advise simply Googling them either. Listen/read to the book to learn their real meaning.

Smart, valuable, a great blessing

Doctor Chopra has indeed inspired many to embrace a dynamic, energetic, and loving life. He astutely and succinctly shows us that life is a win/win situation, that giving is part of receiving. These seven spiritual laws show us how to begin understanding nature?s vast wisdom, of which we are all privileged participants, if only we became aware. The beauty of Dr. Chopra?s gift of knowledge is its accessibility to virtually all, every individual who wishes to stop needlessly suffering. I am greatfully indebted to Dr. Chopra, appreciate his clarity, and would give this book to everyone I love. In fact, these laws have made my life and the lives of those directly affected by me, markedly improve.

Seven spiritual laws of success

I have given and recommended this book to so many of my clients over the years, and I return to it again and again when I feel have gone off piste slightly, it brings me home.
I have read and heard on audible many of Deepaks books and had the pleasure of hearing him in London in the summer. He is a delight and this comes through in this little book. It is a helpful distillation of significant wisdom and compassion, for each step on our life's journey and beyond, not based in any one religion but in the meeting of spirituality and quantum physics, wisdom from many traditions and permissions to know ourselves truly in order to be and do what we came for and may have lost sight of.

My Bible

I have been reading this book for many years and do really treat it as my reference bible. For me it was a little difficult to follow at first but being a short book I was able to read it several times which led to a full understanding and enlightenment

Very informative

If you could sum up The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success in three words, what would they be?

I listen to this when I drive. It helps me understand and connect learning about the wholeness of life. Worth getting.

An easy and quick listen

It was nice to listen to chapters of 10 minutes or so. You could stop and digest what was being said. I went to a meditation evening and the theme was similar to this book. It's really about being mindful and bringing it into your every day life.

Compact advice

I enjoyed this listen, I haven't read it before. I like how the author/narrator chooses his words carefully, there are no extra fillers in the sentences. just what is relevant and important which helps absorb the teaching. I will definitely need to refer back to it once I start practicing the laws.

wonderful swirling beauty of existence

described with such optimism and exquisite simplicity and poetry. Gorgeous writing, and life affirming ideas. I find listening to the sumptuous narration at 80% speech speed allows it to flow through me and guiding me effortlessly. Very accessible with summary at the end of each chapter with suggestions of ideas to accompany your own journey. I find myself returning again and again to bathe in these ideas and beautiful book.

Outstanding distillation of wisdom

Success in this context could be 'happiness' 'peace of mind' etc - it's not about material success. Chopra talk about universal, cross cultural truths which all faiths infer. I always prefer a book read by the author although his style takes a while to get used to. A good little book to give a teenager...
