Product Description
Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside.
We all want to know how to find a soul mate, what career would be most fulfilling, how to live a life with meaning, and how to teach our children well. We are looking for a personal breakthrough, a turning point, a revelation that brings with it new meaning. The Book of Secrets--a crystalline distillation of insights and wisdom accumulated over the lifetime of one of the great spiritual thinkers of our time--provides an exquisite new tool for achieving just that.
Because answers to the questions at the center of life are counterintuitive, they are often hidden from view, sequestered from our everyday gaze. In his ongoing quest to elevate our experience, bestselling author Deepak Chopra has isolated fifteen secrets that drive the narrative of this inspiring book--and of our lives. From "The World Is in You" and "What You Seek, You Already Are" to "Evil Is Not Your Enemy" and "You Are Truly Free When You Are Not a Person," The Book of Secrets is rich with insights, a priceless treasure that can transport us beyond change to transformation, and from there to a sacred place where we can savor the nectar of enlightenment.
"The Book of Secrets is the finest and most profound of Deepak Chopra’s books to date. Want the answers to the secrets of life? Let me recommend that you start right here." -- Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything

 Beautiful prose - not sure about the tree bark December 29, 2008

This really had some wonderful wording and some great ideas. For me Deepak goes a little off the deep end in some parts, but who knows. It really was enjoyable to read for the most part.
If you are still trying to figure out what your life means to you, December 17, 2008

I recently watched a small portion of a television movie, the main character was a small local bookstore owner with her mother. She was having trouble following her heart. Her mother suggested, "Do you see all these books here, do you know why there are so many of them? It's because everyone of them is trying to figure out life, but no one has done it yet. There is no right way, you have to follow your own path and figure out what life means to you." Mr. Chopra certainly seems to have figured out what life means to him, and countless of his readers appear to agree with him. If you are still trying to figure out what your life means to you, maybe this book is a good place to start looking.
For two other good perspectives I recommend,

I'm a big fan of all Chopra's work. I found this particular book even more to my liking than usual as he attempts to intermingle some science into his thinking. If he's going to begin leaning in this direction, even ever so slightly, it will only endear him to me more fully. I tend to focus much more fully on the practical, but have non-the-less, enjoyed reading his musings for the pure beauty and warmth of the message. -Sarah Shikitao-Brown, Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]
 Unleashing Your Mind November 14, 2008

Mystical organizations have existed in this world for centuries. All of them proclaiming to help one over come the world of maya, of form, or illusion. This book blew my dress up over my head (slang for really really really big breakthroughs)! Mr C unlocks many old concepts this society places on our minds and can help a person understand the world from a higher perspective.
Once we discover what was done to us - then we can fix it - Mr C's discussion of the mind as well as indepth analysis of maya is done with clear cut percision. He writes as if he is operating on a person and his scapel of thought will help cut away many old ideas in order for YOU to evolve.
Mr. C seems to be a man on a mission - to write of the deep secrets these many mystical traditions have held secret takes courage and and sense of dedication to humanity. Mr. C is on his path to help us all wake up and return to our soul essence. If you are ready to evolve, to know more about the true you - for the final frontier is in your mind and to see this and yourself with new eyes, get this book - and enjoy the ride to a new field of awareness. Are you up to it? I hope so - a book that is definitely a keeper for it will not only unlock you - you will become unleashed and go into your life vowing to live anew.
 no facts, just thoughts October 23, 2008

I thought as a person with so many credentials, Chopra would cite all the references he made. i was disapointed he started out the book by stating that our cells "talk" to each other and are willing to commit "suicide" for the body. But he had no medical journals or valid references to back his claims. I prefer that if a book is going to state a fact, that it has the ability to back it up.
