Teilhard de Chardin said, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Chopra builds on this powerful thought in this recording that expands his life's work in spiritual approaches to daily living. He explains the laws of pure potentiality, giving, karma, least effort, intention and desire, detachment, and dharma and includes useful suggestions on how to apply these fundamental, natural principles if one is truly searching for purpose and a satisfying life. Ancient Vedic concepts form the basis of this philosophy of living that transcends the Eurocentric theological dogma that seems to preoccupy Western thought, especially among Americans. With Chopra's rapidly growing adherents and his appearance on the glib talk shows, look for this new release to attract attention. The recording, read by the author, is also available in book form (Amber-Allen Pub., 1995), which may appeal to those listeners willing to do the hard work required to successfully implement these principles. For all public libraries.?Dale Farris, Groves, Tex.

“ Here is Pocket-Sized Wisdom: This book travels everywhere; it can be collapsed and folded to fit into your briefcase, backpack, purse, or lunch pail. It has been written for people moving, either up or down. It doesn't have the footnotes or bibliography or annotations that would cut it for a serious or academic work. It folds the East into the West--Eastern thinking into Western functions. The wisdom inside is handy, practical, straight forward, and precise. It can be read waiting for a plane, on a Sunday afternoon (what I did), or by the bedstand. For these reasons, it is important. Read it.

It's a never-ending book to me, just flip back to page 1 and repeat...
So soothing, humbling and inspiring.
It's a little book, a short book...but be sure to read it with care and focus, that's when magic happens.
It does for me anyway....I love the simplicity of the deep wisdom in this book.
Deepak Chopra has my love!”
