This powerful little book contains the essence of Deepak Chopra’s teaching. At only 115 pages it’s a quick read divided into short chapters titled:
- The Law of Pure Potentiality
- The Law of Giving and Receiving
- The Law of Karma or Cause and Effect
- The Law of Least Effort
- The Law of Intention and Desire
- The Law of Detachment
- The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life
I think this is a great book for small group study. Sometimes in book groups there is so much material to cover in a limited time. This book is not like that – instead it features short wisdom sayings that are ripe for group discussion. Such as:
- “Accept people, situations, and events as they are, not a you wish they were, in this moment” (in the Law of Least Effort chapter)
- “Whatever we put our attention on grows stronger in our life, whatever we take our attention away from withers and disappears.” (in the Law of Intention and Desire chapter)
- “The Law of Detachment does not interfere with goal setting. We still have the intention of going in a certain direction, but between point A and point B there are infinite possibilities.” (in the Law of Detachment chapter)
I was part of a small group that discussed this book one chapter each week. The material really struck a chord with my group as members participated in deep and meaningful sharing from their own lives.
I’ve heard Deepak speak in person a couple of times, and I have read a few of his other books. At times he can be very deep. I found the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success easy to understand with practical suggestions to implement in my life.
