A good friend gave me this book over 5 years ago - since then I have given new copies to many friends. I have followed Chopra's advice in the book to read 3 pages a day ongoingly and randomly...doing this lets the ideals sink into your subconscious and work in your life. This book has reinforced and supplemented what I have deep down always known and has been of tremendous joy and use to me. While the Indian based philosophy might not resonate with everyone, it really clicked with me and how I learn & listen. I can honestly say that my income has tripled since reading and applying the tenants, and my enjoyment of All the wealth that I have in my life has greatly increased (friends, health, a full belly, family, etc.)
