  <default_description>God is not a person or a thing but rather a process, according to world-renowned author and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra. The purpose of this ambitious book is to assure readers that anyone can engage in this process--&quot;it isn't a matter of faith, religious teaching, innate goodness, luck or some other mysterious factor,&quot; Chopra explains. &quot;Our brains are hardwired to find God.&quot; This hardwiring is deftly explored as Chopra lists the seven ways humans know God and how they correspond to the anatomy of our human brains. He devotes a chapter to each of the seven visions of God: &quot;Protector,&quot; &quot;Almighty,&quot; &quot;God of Peace,&quot; &quot;Redeemer,&quot; &quot;Creator,&quot; &quot;God of Miracles,&quot; and &quot;Pure Being--I am.&quot; In every chapter he asks and answers the same questions for the readers: &quot;Who am I?&quot; &quot;How do I fit in?&quot; &quot;How do I find God?&quot; The format works well, helping to tame this broad discussion while also illuminating the different personality types that are attracted to these seven different visions.&lt;p&gt; Fortunately, Chopra is a gifted narrator, able to make human anatomy and quantum physics understandable while also keeping spiritual and metaphysical discussions grounded. As he drifts through the cloudy realms of ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, miracles, obedience, loyalty, evil, ego, addictions, and mentors, readers can trust that there is a competent pilot at the helm, deftly guiding this excellent book. Plan to take some time with this one. It is perhaps his best yet and as such deserves a slow and steady commitment. &lt;I&gt;--Gail Hudson&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>
