Product Description
In this refreshing new take on spirituality, bestselling author Deepak Chopra uses a fictional tale of a comedian and his unlikely mentor to show us a path back to hope, joy, and even enlightenment-with a lot of laughter along the way.
Meet Mickey Fellows. A successful L.A. comedian, he's just a regular guy, with his fair share of fears, egocentricities, and addictions. After his father's death, Mickey meets a mysterious stranger named Francisco, who changes his life forever. The two begin an ongoing discussion about the true nature of being. Reluctantly at first, Mickey accepts the stranger's help and starts to explore his own life in an effort to answer the riddles Francisco poses. Mickey starts to look at those aspects of himself that he has hidden behind a wall of wisecracks all his life. Eventually Mickey realizes that authentic humor opens him up to the power of spirit-allowing him to finally make real connections with people.
After taking the reader on a journey with Mickey, Chopra then spells out the lessons that Mickey's story imparts to us: ten reasons to be optimistic, even in our challenging world. Chopra believes that the healthiest response to life is laughter from the heart, and even in the face of global turmoil, we can cultivate an internal sense of optimism. Rich with humor and practical advice, Why Is God Laughing? shows us without a doubt that there is always a reason to be grateful, that every possibility holds the promise of abundance, and that obstacles are simply opportunities in disguise. In the end, we really don-t need a reason to be happy. The power of happiness lies within each of us, just waiting to be unleashed. And Mickey Fellows's journey shows us the way.
From the Hardcover edition.

 Interesting Read December 3, 2008
This was a very interesting book. Fast to read and very thought provoking with lots of jokes is a way to describe it. Chopra definitely has a way of making the reader think and meditate. I enjoyed his perspective.

Why is God Laughing? September 14, 2008
I am a big Chopra fan, I would recommend any of his books out there. This was the first fiction work I read of his and I thought it was great. I read it in a day and half. The character Mickey goes through the heavy stuff like you and I do in life and he has the ah ha moment thanks to Francisco. This book really shows you there is more to life than what you see and it is time to start living the real way.
Learn why you should be laughing too! August 25, 2008
Deepak does it again......this time with a lot of humor.
Life is supposed to be fun and easy.....we just forgot and made it complicated. Curl up with this book for a few good belly laughs and learn how to bring more joy and ease into your life. Enjoy!
funny and inspiring August 25, 2008
What do you get when you put Deepak Chopra and Mike Meyers in the same room? A book full of laughs, gags, and punch lines that's punctuated with meaning and direction. While the character story for the first part of the book is interesting, it is Mr. Chopra's ability to show you the path of joy and optimism in clear understandable language that really shines. It's so enjoyable I re-read that section three times! In good times or bad this is worth the time and effort to read and enjoy!
