Product Description
From Amazon
Fortunately, Chopra is a gifted narrator, able to make human anatomy and quantum physics understandable while also keeping spiritual and metaphysical discussions grounded. As he drifts through the cloudy realms of ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, miracles, obedience, loyalty, evil, ego, addictions, and mentors, readers can trust that there is a competent pilot at the helm, deftly guiding this excellent book. Plan to take some time with this one. It is perhaps his best yet and as such deserves a slow and steady commitment. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Duck Soup or The High Art of Suckership,
By mel borsuk (Downeast Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Know God: The Soul's Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries (Hardcover)
It has been said that if you are in a poker game, look around the table and if you can't find the loser, then you are it! There are some books that should be judged not only on what they say or don't say, but on what they promise and who profits and who loses. This is not one of those. This book should be judged on all those criteria.The winner at this God-centered crap-shoot is Mr. Chopra, high priest of the Spiritual Slim-Fast for the happiness-addicted New Age. He has perfected the art of 'give 'em what they want', and, apparently, we American Dreamers of the American Dream want our spirituality fun, quick, and inexpensive. He provides the stuff of dreams in a delicious melange of East and West, Science and Mysticism, Worldliness and Beyond this World. The difficulty in digesting this froth is in the details, where the devil usually resides. For it is in a close reading of the details and in integrating the various loose strands of his thinking that, to vary the metaphor, the suffle collapses. The foundation premise is actually nonsensical except to Mr. Chopra's ardent fans and Duck Soup colleagues. To argue that various views of God arise from our varied psychological and biological responses to our vision of the world is a nicely simple idea that some might think elegant. Unfortunately, although the seven-storied scheme would give arcane significance by its numbered architecture, we and the world (and hopefully God as an infinite wisdom) are not so simple. For instance, if one reads with a modicum of understanding the Psalms or Saint Teresa of Avila or the Upanishads, one sees that approaches to Reality/God are varied and complex in any one sincere seeker or culture. It is convenient in terms of Chopra's scheme (or scam, depending on one's point of view), to characterize the Old Testament approach as a basic Fight/Flight response but it is inaccurate. Every level of Chopra's "seven-only" possibilities are represented there - and more. One either cannot see it or refuses to see it depending on one's devotion to Chopra and his way of affirming our childish needs. Ask yourself who wins and who pays the winner's share? If it's not you, then who is it? With a yearly take of over $25 million, Chopra may not know God, but he sure has learned to play Him. Just ask those who pay for their yearly fix and constantly need another whether it be the next book or a colleague's book or tapes or seminars or or or....

Not just about religion or spirituality.,
By Anand Fan (Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Know God: The Soul's Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries (Paperback)
What I like about this book is how Chopra objectively treats the different approaches, by religions or methods, for reaching God. I would definitely recommend this book to people prone to statements like "I was brought up this way", as a means (mostly involuntarily) to disguise a lack of awareness of other types of backgrounds. It provides surprisingly good insight to differences in cultural thinking. A good book for people who enjoy travel, or meeting other cultures, or are forced to meet them, but don't really understand them. At the end of this read, I definitely felt smarter, and intellectually uplifted. A keeper (hardcover please).
