I am glad I didn't try to read this book before I was ready to read it. This book is about finding yourself in the miasma of the world around us. It is about finding your place in "the field" that is the universe.

If I hadn't had a guide to help me find my first steps, I probably wouldn't have bought this book as anything but blather. However, because someone had started my feet in the proper direction, I can understand the significance of what the author says and why. I can see, and feel, what the words offer.

I could recommend this book to everyone, as it is an easy read. You have to be open to reading it, however, so I don't recommend just grabbing it to grab it. Take a little time to meditate on what you might learn, open your mind show more to new concepts... show less
I absolutely loved The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Deepak Chopra takes big ideas about life, success, and fulfillment and breaks them down into practical, easy to understand principles. The way he connects spirituality with everyday choices really resonated with me, it made me stop and reflect on my own mindset and actions. Each law felt like a small, powerful reminder that success isn’t just about hard work or material gain, but about living in harmony with yourself and the world around you.

What I appreciate most is how practical the book is. Chopra doesn’t just give abstract ideas; he provides exercises and suggestions that you can actually try in your daily life. At the same time, I did find a few parts a little repetitive, show more and some concepts felt a bit too “mystical” for my taste. Readers who prefer a strictly evidence based approach might find certain sections hard to fully grasp.

Despite that, I would definitely recommend this book. It’s inspiring, thought-provoking, and has the kind of wisdom that stays with you long after you finish reading. Whether you’re looking to rethink your approach to success or just want a gentle reminder to live more mindfully, this book is worth picking up.

Had I read this book any more than a few months earlier I wouldn't have been able to digest its messages. Im so glad that I'm finding flow and the law of receiving finally, because it's bringing so many great books and experiences my way that previously were just lost on me. This book cross-pollinated my brain along with several other books I'm reading on energy medicine, meditation, ptsd, and mind-body healing. It's like the universe is suddenly making a little sense to me but even that little bit is immensely positive. Aha-moments (as Oprah calls them lol) are pinging all over the place in my brain.

You learn the seven laws of success:
1) Law of Pure Potentiality
2) Law of Giving (and Receiving)
3) Law of Karma
4) Law of Least Effort
5) Law show more of Intention and Desire
6) Law of Detachment
7) Law of Dharma

They all work in concert with each other, and when you are living in concert with your life and the energy field of the Universe all is well.

This is another one of those books I received through my friend's "inherited library." It was one that he didn't want, so he passed it along to me. Clearly this was originally a gift (I can tell because the dust jacket corner with the price has been cut away).

I have never read anything from Deepak Chopra, but I know the name. Here he presents the "Seven Spiritual Laws of Success," a list of ideas that are designed to help body and mind work in unison with the universe to achieve happiness, peace, and wellness (as well affluence). Each law is explained by Chopra, then the reader is given a list of actions to do that will help them enact each law in their daily lives.

I like a lot of the ideas presented in this book and will try to show more practice some of the techniques. Let's see what happens. show less
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success -- shifts the thinking about the universe and our place in it. The Law of Pure Potentiality, The Law of Giving and Receiving, The Law of Karma, The Law of Least Effort, The Law of Intention and Desire, The Law of Detachment, and The Law of Dharma. For me on my spiritual journey, the concepts set out in this book is not ground-breaking. Nevertheless, this Big-little book has more of a profound impact.... let the "laws" sink in. I revisit it over and over - flipping it to any page and I start reading. It grabs your feelings to a more peaceful, in control manor. Chopra describes simple but transcendental ways of uncomplicated issues and life. Nonetheless, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success is a handy show more little reference. It fits nicely in my purse so it serves as a handy little reminder when needed. Guarantee you'll learn something and/or your life will change in wonderful and joyful ways. show less
Great one for spiritual development

Less (in such a short book), yet a lot in what you get, learn, realize on your success journey. This 1hr reading can change you a lot.
I Got this book at a lecture By Dr. Chopra in Las Vegas, as a promo to selling the first edition. After listening to the lecture (Which was excellent) the book ended up being more of a reference book to the lecture. However, If you have never Read it or heard Dr.Chopra, then I highly recommend this book for enhancing not only your Spiritual program but the success ideas presented here are well worth the effort for anyone looking for a good self-help book on success.
