Customer Reviews

Very Interesting

I found some sections of the book relatively boring, however, the book as a whole I found very interesting. I recommend not purchasing the book, and just getting it for free from your library or just going to your local bookstore and reading it over a period of 2-3 days. I finished the book in 2 days, and it is a fairly easy read.

interesting

here is a great quote from page ix: "A recent experiment I led, which I will describe in detail later, found that laughter significantly reduced blood-sugar levels in diabetics after meals" WOW

Thought Provoking

This book does a wonderful job of driving home one simple but very important point: the importance of gratitude. I know there are many books out there on the power of belief, but this author posits the idea that our genes actually respond to an attitude of gratitude, which is a new idea to me.

Inspirational

I have long been interested in the connection between science and spirituality. I've read David Bohm's works and watched "What the Bleep do We Know?" So when I heard about the Divine Code I immediately started reading it and finished it within one day. I was inspired and energized to live a more fulfilling life. For all the skeptics out there who don't believe in anything that we cannot perceive with our senses, hear is a resounding answer. The power of gratitude and positive thinking is supported by scientific experiments as this wonderful author elucidates in this easy to read book. Murakami concludes that life is such a miracle that it must be the product of "somthing great." He briefly touches on the possibility that we have a soul and reincarnate. I was inspired to search out new information on the soul and reincarnation and a friend recommended "This Side of the Gate" by John P. Johnston. It's a fascinatingly fresh look at these concepts and adds insight into what Murakami speculates on. These new books have inspired me once again to rededicate myself to the spiritual quest.
