Power, Freedom, and Grace: Living from the Source of Lasting Happiness

by Deepak Chopra

Overview

Deepak Chopra considers the mystery of our existence and its significance in our eternal quest for happiness. Who am I? Where did I come from? Where do I go when I die? Chopra draws upon the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the findings of modern science to help us understand and experience our true nature, which is a field of pure consciousness.

When we understand our true nature, we begin to live from the source of true happiness, which is not mere happiness for this or that reason, but true inner joy. When we know who we are, we allow the universe to flow through us with effortless ease, and our lives are infused with power, freedom, and grace.

Editorial Reviews

We set our sights on financial success, job security, or a fruitful relationship; but, as Deepak Chopra notes in this svelte self-help tome, the goal of all these goals is happiness. With timely anecdotes and Vedanta wisdom, he offers an inimitable short course to lasting happiness.

A world-renowned leader in the fields of holistic health and human potential, Chopra (The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success) has found time and again that people are looking for happiness in all the wrong places-fame, luxury, or belonging. Happiness eludes them, he maintains, because it is a state of consciousness that exists within every human being and can only be rediscovered through infinite consciousness. Drawing from the spiritual wisdom of ancient India, Chopra provides detailed guidance for understanding the mystery of one's existence. He advocates spending time in silence, pondering coincidences, and realizing that the self is a creator, not a victim. This latest effort does not seem to add anything new to Chopra's oeuvre; recommended only where his books have enjoyed a healthy circulation. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
