"The seven spiritual laws of success" By Deepak Chopra

This book by Deepak Chopra distills the essence of his teachings into seven simple, yet powerful principles that can easily be applied to create success in all areas of our life. The laws given in the book can easily be connected to our religious teachings, as the presentation of the author makes it easy to connect ourselves with those. The book tells us how we can transform our dreams from the unmanifested to the manifested. As we read the book, we enjoy a heartfelt delight and a rejuvenation. The book talks about ‘The law of pure potentiality’ that asks us to be self-refferal instead of being object-referral. Then comes ‘The law of giving’ which tells us how giving is a sort of receiving itself and how we help ourselves when we give something to others with a nice intention . After that, the author introduces ‘The law of karma’, in which it is made clear that how can we control our karma so as to make them realize our dreams. After that comes an interesting law, ‘The law of least effort’, which tells us the recipe to attain maximum with the minimum of effort. Next comes, ‘The law of intention and desire’ that again ensures that a human being has got all the potential to make his/her heartfelt desires come true and tells the way to do the same. Then the author talks about ‘The law of detachment’ which teaches us to keep ourselves detached from the outcomes in order to have better results. The last is ‘The law of dharma’ that is all about realizing our purpose in life and asking ourselves ‘how can we serve humanity?’ At the end of each law’s description, the author gives some simple steps to be followed in order to incorporate these laws into our daily lives; now that can be really helpful. The book is written in easy to understand language, but capable enough to make you feel each word that you read. The book represents an essence of human life. If understood and applied properly, I feel these laws can really lead us to the successful human life, that we all desire.
