The book is so interesting, my favorite book so far! Definitely recommend it.

Looks brand new !!! However you will have to take the price off which was on the front

Teaches you everything you need to know about the world

Great!

Life changing book. The copies had some writing in them (used obviously) but I did not mind. For the price, I'll continue to buy more copies here for people to gift since i enjoyed it so much.

This is my fav one after the book ”the secret”.

Beautiful writing! I finished this book already. It took me a few days to read.

Charlatan

What a joke...

Not worth the hype

This book came highly recommended but after completing it seems to be something that just fits for certain people. Personally I didn’t enjoy some of the content and it speaks as if the content is law versus theory. Decent book with great values but then again can be misleading for some people.

Pocketbook

I honestly didn’t know it was a pocketbook size, it didn’t look like the book pictured above. I wanted the full book.

Great information we all should have been taught.

This book is wonderfully and practically written. It helps us take complex human issues and distill them to their essence which can then be practically dealt with and at times even enjoyed. The author has proven to be a wellspring of knowledge originating from that source within us all. That's why it's almost impossible to read without feeling a deep resonance. The book is short and very easy to read. I think it would be especially helpful if introduced to middle school aged children, before they screw life up and have to undo all the damage like so many of us have had to do.

Must Have!

A straight forward Spiritual Journey guide. One must read to understand how the law works in order to practice it. If not you will find this book to be just another read.

Spitritual Gems

Do not underestimate the size of this book.It tells volumes.The Seven Laws as propounded by Dr.Deepak are very profound spiritual truth.Deepak emphaises the need of regular meditation in order to be aware of the significance of the "here and now".It is also important to set goals.Under the Law of Intention and Desire(the 5th law),we must make known our intention but we should not be attached to it,this is the secret of success in life according to Deepak.The Second law,the law of giving.According to Deepak we must give in order to get.If we want love then we must give love.This small book should be meditated upon and keep it always with you lest you forget the simple yet profound truth contained in it.

Great is the operative word for this book

The author helps us identify our "fear based" ways of thinking and substitue more effective ways to think. These concepts work. I would also recommend the book An Encounter With A Prophet to get rid of even deeper "fear based" beliefs.

Shades of grey

As I read the customer reviews about "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success", I find it fascinating that the reviews are almost without exception one of two types; "Five stars--very positive--this book changed my life" or "One star--this new-age drivel makes me sick, please do not give your money to this man who is only using feel-good rhetoric to liberate the gullible from their money" There are not many reactions that are in the middle.I think extreme opposing reactions are typical to great works. And I do think that this is a great work. The reason that I think it is so good is because the author is inspired to write what he does. This is a man who , from what I can tell, has been a seeker all his life. Ever the seeker, his path has led him to become an inspired teacher. To paraphrase Einstein--"Great minds have always had violent opposition by mediocre minds" But, I digress.The important point that I want to express here is that it DOES NOT MATTER if what Mr. Chopra says is true or not. What is important is that it inspires real, positive change in peoples lives. The inspiration and the change are what are real. The details are irrelevant. I have read this book many times because the words awaken something in my soul that has always been there.If you believe what Mr. Chopra says then that is all that matters. If you think it is bunk, then that is all that matters as well. The power of ones belief is EVERYTHING. It can change lives, conquer countries, kill millions, or deliver someone from the depths of hell to the gates of heaven. It can also do absolutely nothing--depending on the believer and what is believed.If you belive that Deepak Chopra is just another smart con-man who is playing to peoples emotions to get to thier money, then the power of your belief is what will win. It doesn't matter how many times you read the book. Nothing is more powerful than what you believe.If on the other hand, you are a person who believes they can be inspired, and have no obstructing beliefs to begin with (also called an open mind) then the chances are good that this book will touch you in a deep way.As with anything in life, it is entirely up to what you believe.

A Real Treasure!

The subheading of this book "the Fulfillment of your Dreams" is quite a fascinating concept. This best-selling author, guides the reader down a path of 'success', outlining principles and disciplines bound to help anyone reach a higher spiritual plane. This book shows you how to discover and unleash your 'true' self by breaking away from fear~ based thinking ( seeking approval of our actions/ needing to control /and a need for power are all fear~based methods of thinking). In fact, readers are urged to break away from the 'Pavlov effect' by resisting conditional reflexive responses triggered by circumstances out of one's control. Mr. Chopra goes on to explain that most people spend the majority of their energy connvincing or persuading others of their point of view. He asks the reader to understand that what they are feeling is not someone else's fault, instead one should take responsibility for one's own thoughts and actions.There was a phrase that caught my attention. It read, "The operational software of your soul is karma, memory & desire". The chapter goes on to explain that everything is energy and information. Your attention to something energizes it, your intention transforms it. Therein lies the key, intent is desire without attachment to a particular outcome. A great quote from the book reads "The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift... that is why this moment is called the 'present'." So we must learn to accept the present and intend the future, for the future is created now in the present.One of the simplest insights to apply in everyday life, is to remember that the easiest way to achieve a goal or get what you want out of life ( whether it is personal or business oriented ) is to help others get what they want. Success is much easier to accomplish when there are myriads of people who want you to succeed, as opposed to when it's just you.In each of the Seven Spiritual Laws, Mr. Chopra presents a way for people to align their lives with the most compatible way of achieving success in one's life. This title weighs in at a mere 110 pages, but it sure packs a wallop of punch. A knockout punch to be sure. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wants to achieve a higher level of spirituality and an understanding of how their world operates. In fact, even a basic human cell follows the spiritual laws. This is one of the best investments of time and money you'll ever make, and a treasure you'll come back to again and again.
