This ios my favorite gift book. It is simple straight forward advice of how to grow spiritually- advise we all can use daily
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success is a labelled as one hour of wisdom, a pocketbook guide to fulfilling your dreams. It is written by world-renowned author, Deepak Chopra. This little book may be small but it is filled with a lot of good common sense wisdom.
The work is divided into seven section, one chapter for each of the seven spiritual laws of success: The Law of Pure Potentiality, The Law of Giving and Receiving, The Law of Karma, The Law of Least Effort, The Law of Intention...more

I've been reading this book for a few weeks. It's somewhat more complex and requires time to unravel and let the concepts sink in. It's definitely readable, I have just had to read one chapter at a time and let the "laws" sink in one at a time before exploring the next. It shifts the thinking about the universe and our place in it. Rather than approach us as "stardust" or inconsequential, it challenges the individual to see that we are the center of OUR universe and we ha...more
A friend of my parents suggested I read this book while I was home for Christmas after she heard about my work situation. She suggested that I pick up the book immediately because I was in the "right frame of mind." This book reminds us of the importance of meditation, of being a good person and karma but it certainly was not what I was looking to read in order to address my work situation and to get through each day. Had I reminded myself of how important other things are as compar...more
What really helped me about this book was Deepak's "universal meditation" thing at the end where he asks everyone to focus on a specific spiritual law on a specific day. So for about a year, I did this. Sunday, being conscious of the Law of Pure Potentiality, for instance. This practice helped me to be more centered and aware of synchronicities. I also really appreciated life alot when I was in this practice. I don't know why I'm no longer doing this...

Very disappointing. I mean, it's Deepak Chopra. Gotta love him, right? Turns out, not so much.
I agree with the laws he suggests. But they're cloaked in such hooey and psychobabble that I gagged. Why not just say that it's important to spend part of every day in stillness in order to connect with our inner selves and break free of the material world/rat race, rather than going on and on about our mystical connections to the universe?
It seemed to be very much pandering to W...more

Chopra is a little overly flowy in his language, but he had some good points that made sense. It's difficult from a western point of view to really appreciate an eastern point of view, but i'm trying to adjust my mindset. Some of his laws seem above my head, but I've already applied one or two to my life and they've worked beautifully. He has some helpful, practical ways at the end of each chapter to make them work in your life. Thought-provoking stuff.
This book is amazing. It gave me one of those "Aha" moments.
Some things in life just seem to click, and this book talks about why that is so. It describes some of the "laws of the universe," how you can use them, and how, regardless of whether you use them, they affect your life.
I recommended this to my mom, and she didn't like it. It might be something about Chopra's writing, I don't know. But I loved it. Highly recommend it.

This is the one book I revisit time and time again. I downloaded it from itunes and listen to it on my commute. I would recommend the audio version. Deepak's voice is very soothing, there's not too much heavy content, and the audio makes it easy to jump back/forwards to concentrate on certain spiritual laws.
I acknowledge the truth expressed in this book and I accept it as it applies to my existence. However, it possesses a flat, textbook style that belies the feeling that is necessary for me in order for it to really get under my skin. Where is the passion and poetry of Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman? I suppose I'm trying to say that my head processed the book but my heart failed to get much of the message. As I read it my mind read off a checklist--"Yeah, that's right...yes, that's true," ...more
Highly recommended by a spiritually-inclined blog pal, I finally got over my inertia of exploring anything by Deepak Chopra,,, and my reluctance was validated. Don't get me wrong, the message of this book is great! But I needed to have read this perhaps 10 years ago. Where I am on my own spiritual journey, I felt a little impatient with what was being said, and how - again, it doesn't help that my Organisational Behaviour / Psychology career tapped into these principles anyway.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read, made a bit longer by the fact I wanted to actually think about what was being said and see how I could apply it to my own life. It was also very easy to understand and gave very direct ways to start working on your journey of spiritual success. For example, when meeting people say a little blessing for them in your head - nothing out loud - just think something nice for them and mean it, no matter who they are...easier said than done. For one, ...more
This is my fifth or sixth time reading this book. I usually find myself reading it when I am dealing with challenging circumstances in my life, and find myself feeling restless. When I want to feel more at peace, I am always reminded by a quote from the book: "Today, I will accept people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be." These words remind me to practice Acceptance in every aspect of my life; and to stop struggli...more
This is one of Chopra's best books. It inspired from me one of the best poems I've ever written. I am forever grateful...
I found this book to be inspirational, like most of Chopra's work, but I didn't care much for a few of the laws. The law of intention for example, intend on making things happen in your life and they will happen, really? But then Chopra and the rest of these authors save face by teaching detachment. So if what you intended to happen (which will surely occur) doesn't happen (wait, what?) you are supposed to be detached to the outcome, because the universe knows what it is doing (that I will not a...more
i was sitting in stephen's green reading this book when I got my bag stolen, all my stuff, keys, cards, wallet, fancy lipstick, photos, were gone in a flash. All I had left was the seven spiritual laws of success and that made me laugh my head off. So be careful is all I'm saying, if you're looking for signs, they will come. I've been worried about money and in a second my money was gone and all access to money was gone for the weekend. Did I feel free? Maybe. But I was glad someone else had th...more
For a while, this was my favorite book. I used to turn to this when I was feeling a little stressed or down over something. It helped put things back in perspective. It has all the secrets. Then as I continued my research I began to find out where the secrets come from. Our Kemetian ancestors.... then when discovering Deepak was a Brahman and finding out more about them and how they feel about African people, it made me take a step back. But that doesn't discount the information contained ...more

In the introduction Deepak Chopra points out that the title could really be The Seven Spiritual Laws of Life. I got the impression that while the title is true, it was slanted to grab the eye of those of us wanting to find out how we missed out on material abundance. Throughout the book, though, Deepak Chopra stresses that embacing one’s spiritual side and understanding how the mystical universe works will bring abundance in all areas, material wealth being a by product. Throughout the book h...more
In "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success", by Deepak Chopra, Chopra describes the fundamental principles of the universe and how we as part of the universe can be successful. Concepts in the book I have learned elsewhere in more "scientific" or American texts, and the usefulness of the concepts for me are in how simply they are presented. Wayne Dyer's book on the Power of Intention is another book that speaks in great detail to what Chopra just lists.

A friend gave me this book for my birthday 10 years ago. I guess I read it then, though I scarcely remember it. When I read it this time, lights went off in my brain. I've heard that the right teacher appears when you are ready to learn. In this case, the right book appeared. Since I am in-between career-wise this year, so much of what Chopra says resonates for me as to the direction I will choose in the future. I am also learning yoga and meditating and being out in nature more, so my readiness...more
Chopra makes a lot of grandiose statements that he doesn't back up but anyone who knows anything about Hindi/Buddhist/Yogic philosophy will be familiar with the ideas. It's a short book and each short chapter ends with a summary in the form of a kind of prayer/affirmation which he suggests the reader makes each day to ensure they succesfully bring the seven laws into our everyday life.

Fantastic thugs come in the smallest of packages like this book. Read it in my twenties and it holds a sacred spot on my bookshelf. Helped me to honestly, and truly get that we live in a world of abundance, if we choose to see it that way. What's yours is yours and cannot be taken away, this POV negates the need to lie, cheat, steal or be a cutthroat (Wall Street I'm looking at you!) to get ahead which I wholeheartedly ascribe to. Thank you Deepak!
Read the book at a crucial time in my professional life.Finished the book in a day over three sittings.Planning to read it again several more times as this is not a book that we read and forget.To derive full benefit of all the seven laws described in the book we need to practice observing them on every day of the week in such a way that we start with the first law on sunday and finish with the seventh law on the saturday.
Deepak Chopra's little guide is filled with big information. In this big-little book, he outlines the seven laws of the universe and how we can actively and fully participate in them to bring out the best in ourselves and our lives.
The information wasn't too different from Ask and it is Given, but the method of delivery was light-years better. Seven Spiritual Laws is more about being a good person because if you're not, you're being an a**hole and no one likes a**holes. This wor...more

This book didn't blow my mind but it did expose me to an idea that guided my thoughts down a path that ended up being very transformative and positive for me. I don't know if it would have the same impact for anyone else so I'm not sure how I feel about recommending it. If this sort of book and/or Deepak Chopra tickles your fancy, then by all means check it out (it's a pretty short read).
This is a book of vague meaning delivered in impressive language with inconsistent meanings. There is not much that could be disagreed with but to actually apply it to ones life, a message needs to be practical and pragmatic. Particularly troublesome was the advice that success does not come from working hard. A more concrete presentation would have had to address that inconsistency.
If there is one, simple, short book that one can read to change his/ her life, it is this. However one needs to read it slowly, with careful absorption, and with considered reflection to relate its contents to one's own life. It offers an immense level of comfort because it proves how simplicity, ease, joy, abundance and fulfilment can co-exist in a non zero-sum paradigm
What Chopra says makes sense even if I think some of the practices are difficult to maintain. For example: When someone does something that hurts your feelings and pisses you off, according to Chopra you can make the conscious decision that you will not let your feelings be hurt and you will not get pissed off. Sounds great in theory, but I find that to be a difficult practice to apply in every day life.
I love love love this book! This book is packed with incredible life skills that can apply to any religion, any belief, and any culture. It's all about being a good person, letting go of things that no longer serve, and empowering/enabling the powerful selves that we all have within us. A great book for teens to read since it's easy concepts and helps put things into perspective.
It may be short, but the content of this book is all that matters. The laws were practical and easy, and he put them simply. This made them easy to understand and therefore apply in real life. These practices, I believe, will lead to a better, more carefree life. I reccomend this book for anyone who is having trouble finding a purpose, or just wants to be a more happy person.
