I have the unabridged audiobook. It starts off slow, with about 2 out of the 6 CDs talking about quantum energy. It looks like Chopra wants to "convert you" to this concept. In my opinion, if you bought this book, you don't need all those lenghty explanations, because you know/agree with most of it. After that, by CD number 3, things get hot: he is reading sutras, commenting on them and reminding essential concepts like, without mastering your emotions, spiritual growth is not possible. This is very important.My favorite sutra is "Moksha- I am emotionally free", but you will benefit from each one , depending where you are on your path. Then he talks a little bit about a spiritual practice involving archetypes.This is a little tricky because, if you don't know a lot about archetypes, it may not be all that rewarding. That made me, for example, start looking about some serious written work on archetypes, which is not easy (I stumbled on Carolyn Myss- big mistake-but now I started from scratch with Carl Jung, a classic in the area). Anyway, he ends his book with saying that we are ultimately "fields of intelligence" which is obviously true.His book is very encouraging for those who are on a spiritual path, to stay on it and progress, since so many easy techniques are provided. Even if you are not aware of being on a spiritual path, this book may help you realize it.Highly recommended.

Ahh, coincidences....

This is one of my most dog-earred books. Long before the so-called-secret came around, Dr. DeePak Chopra was writing about the science of vibrational levels, about the frequency of objects, about the power of thought and meditation. For many decades Dr. Chopra has lived the life, walked the talk and written the volumes from the most acceptable viewpoint of a scientist. He seems to be ahead of his times with a large portion of the planet certainly coming to the same focus. This book truly is an act of courage and an act of love. The reader will ponder life from a wonderfully fresh perspective, and will soon realize there is no such thing as coincidence. Coincidence is but a mirror we draw to us through our individual frequencies of the law of attraction. This book deserves far more stars than 5!

You will need to listen many times to Deepak's life changing views

In my continuing quest to unearth the best authors who impact the mind, body and spirit, Deepak Chopra has become a favorite. I received the CD set of The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire some time ago and zipped through all five CDs. I remember telling a friend that the CDs seem like Deepak is speaking Farsi (the national language of India, his home country). A few weeks ago I continued listening to the CDs and all of a sudden, ILLUMINATION! I can actually understand the powerful messages from the author, WOW! As you focus, Chopra's message to the listener is consistent: Pay attention to the signals in your life to manifest your true destiny. The author provides basic guided meditations, unique prayers and stories interwoven into his narrative to inspire the listener to look within for all answers, for this is where GOD dwells. This five-CD set requires acute attention, interaction, intention and action to reap the most benefits. Much work is required and the benefits gained will be immeasurable. So take the journey to "change the way you look at things - and the things you look at will change."

A PERFECT fit ... for me.

No book is for everyone ... no book can reach every person in the infinite variety of lives we live. But THIS book was precisely what I was looking for when I found it. I've referred to it over and over and over again and it has proven to be of invaluable assistance to me as I've worked to change my life from the inside out. As I first read the book, and was blown away by how perfectly it filled in the gaps in the picture of life that was forming within me, I also realized "this book isn't for everybody". Read the other reviews and follow your instincts. If it sounds like something that you've been searching for but haven't been able to find ... then I think you'll be delightfully pleased. If it sounds like smoke and mirrors to you, then look for something else. If you're in the mood for an apple, why eat an orange and blame the orange when you're done?

Take notice of your reality

In his latest book, Deepak Chopra tells us to be conscious of the messages that we receive from the universe. I did not find a lot of new information here, but enjoyed the method of presentation immensely, so I recommend it. I also recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self, a superlative universal book to accept and let go of what is out of our control and OPTIMIZE what is in our control and create our best life. I also recommend The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People which gives you a solid path to effectiveness and to get along with others.
