The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life
Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside.

This is a self-help book, but it truly teaches you how to be in a perpetual positive mode. It teaches you how to not sweat the little things in life. These are my favorite quotes from this book:
"Transformation means radical change of form, the way a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. In human terms, it means turning fear, aggression, doubt, insecurity, hatred, and emptiness into their opposites".
"Your purpose in life is to help creation to exp...more

This guy is an idiot, abuses science, and reinforces farces with inaccurate uses of quantum mechanics.
Going to call BS on this guy.

While at first this book was though-provoking and "deep" I began to feel annoyed with the author about a third of the way into it. What I started to take away from each page was the concept that there really is no good, no evil, no right, no wrong... Everything is what it is, and it is all inside of you. Embrace it. Flow with it. Blah blah blah. I wish I could agree with this author, and the Eastern philosophies he teaches - those things are actually much more attractive to me than the...more
This book changed my life. Deepak Chopra shows you an entirely new way of thinking and I'm so excited to read other books of his. He teaches you a new appreciation for life, different ways to turn all of the negatives into positives. His writing is very intense and I often had to go back and read sentences several times before I felt like I fully grasped the concept he was trying to make. I definitely think this is a must read for anyone who doesn't realize their full potential. It gave me an en...more
This is the first book I've read by Deepak Chopra...which seems odd since I've been wanting to read him for at least 10 years! I must say, I'm hooked! I love that he's an MD as well, as he speaks my language! I love when scientists back up their spirituality thus. I read this book as I fell asleep each night and had the most fantastic of dreams, and woke up feeling wonderful! The content didn't contain much new information for me, but it was told in a great way that helped remind me of what...more
This book is amazing! I love Deepak's approach to explaining life's puzzles. His writing allowed me to gain a little more mental freedom, which always feels fantastic. One of the most interesting concepts in the book dealt with transformations. In this life we are merely co-creating experiences and knowledge. We are constantly undergoing transformations not only in our self, but in the lives of those we are intimately involved with as well. My life is not only mine, it also is co-created by...more

Deepak Chopra shows you new way of thinking, He teaches you a new appreciation for life, turning negatives into positives.I definitely think this is a must read for anyone who doesn't realize their full potential. It gave me an entirely different view on myself, the universe and everyone around me. For those in the Journey of self Discovery this is a must read and in your persnoal library for easy reference.

Recommends it for:
those who want to let go of pain, those who want to accept death
This is not one of those books you can just read once and take all you need to know from it. You really would have to read this book several times to fully understand what Deepak Chopra is saying because the book is just so jam-packed with information on basically everything: how to bring unity to your life, how to remove suffering from your life, how the Universe works, what the meaning of life is, how our standard notion of evil is an illusion, how to understand time, and how to come to terms ...more
I thought this book was a little hard to get into, and some sections I appreciated more than others. Overall I enjoyed the book.
My favorite section was on decision making....
"If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another...This isnt a correct assumption because the universe is flexible - it adapts to every decision you make."

Deepak Chopra is an interesting author with some very illuminating points of view. I found this work consistent with many of his others; he is quite skilled at presenting difficult-to-understand concepts from a unique perspective that makes them seem quite simple.
Also like many of his books, this is somewhat of a survey work. It does not go into any great depth in any one area. I found this disappointing.

This is the first book I've read from Deepak Chopra, and definitely will not be the last! this book is full of very good information, talks about life and death, which really opened my eyes with his viewpoints. It also talks about different life situations and has exercises to help you along the way into a more positive and uplifting life. :)
As is the case for me and most Deepak Chopra books, it took me a while to get into the flow of this book. Surprisingly, I got really hooked somewhere after the first few chapters and haven't been able to stop reading, or thinking about some of the concepts.
A few novel ideas that really appealed to me include:
- a daily darkness/shadow meditation, where you deliberately follow a dark emotion/corner of your mind to give it attention until it dissipates into nothingness. brilliant.

The thing about Deepak's books is that they require 100 percent of my attention. I often find myself going back to reread specific paragraphs because my mind wandered someplace else while reading. He doesn't waste any words. Each and every sentence is important!
This book provides an opportunity to reflect on our life, future and what made us be who we are. It is destiny, synchronicity or just life that seems to put it all together for us and lead us to where we are and where we need to be? Interesting concepts to ponder.
Deepak Chopra has some very interesting ideas of creation, what we are as humans, and our thought processes. Its a little abstract for me.....he gets right to the heart of his ideas, which is very bare bones. But extremely thought-provoking........
I had many epiphanies reading this book and it was very enlightening. Not usually something i would read but it helped me in certain areas of my personal life. It's almost like a healing book and an eye opener. Very easy to read and it makes you think.
Amazing book with much material to think about. I recommend reading it with a highlighter because there will be many points that you'll want to ponder later or share with others.
If you have an open mind, you may gain much insight from this book. I'm still unsure about how I feel about some of the theories/statements I've read, but I enjoyed being challenged and engaged in the process.

this is a continuous read...wiht many life altering suggestion.....keeps me focused and to me is a culmination of all his works in one......there are bits and pieces of all his teachings here.
I just started my sabbatical first of July, and this book has really helped with the transition. An excellent metaphysical self-help read with practical applications and exercises.
Insightful at times but also borders on pushing the limits of "being at one with the universe".. I'll update when I've finished the book if I think there's more to be said.
I haven't read much of Chopra's work. I thought this was okay. To know more about what I thought:

I listened to this on cd. I liked the idea of "letting the day unfold." The reading was hard for me to follow while driving. Maybe I should read it.
A wonderful book for the inspiring mind seeking the mysteries of life. You can almost hear the voice of Deepak reading his own words to you. I enjoyed it!
This book is light and very easy to read. I love his style. It's helped me remember to breathe and understand the only thing i have control over is my actions.
Easy to understand and packed with inspiring words. Great for those of us who are just beginning our exploration into the spiritual psyche.
A Friend gave me this in CD form. It is interesting and can be a bit mind boggling with the I am the Creator of My Own Universe concepts.
I'd say this is like the Seven Spiritual Laws os Success but with more detail. A good all-around read for those looking for enlightenment.
You are not in the world, the world is in you......and a lot of stuff like that. Probably a bit hard to 'get' for those unitiated into eastern spirituality. A little circular regardless.
This has some universal big concepts that may change your thinking. One of his best books.
Some glimmers of keen reality shine through the pages, but there is a lot of science involved.

“No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads.”
