• Too Wordy 16 April, 2008
I love to hear Mr. Chopras talks, but his books, at least the ones I've tried to read, are not so interesting. He tends to go off on tangents and the result is confusion. He has a couple of novels out as well. Please, don't bother with these, especially if you're accustomed to great fiction. But I shouldn't talk, off on a tangent of my own. So back to this book. I didn't become affluent, did you?

• Extremely Slim, Readable, And Penetrating 23 November, 2007
I am in the middle of a cross-over from being a former spy and infantry officer--metrics driven--to partnering with 23 others to create the Earth Intelligence Network and empower the public with public intelligence that forces the policymakers into accountability. So I find myself in strange territory--I used to blow off all the spiritual "squishy" stuff, and now I am finding that it provides not only a bridge, but a safety network as I venture into a "leap of faith" on what might be possible.
I found the same authors DVD The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and book by the same title, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Pocketbook Guide to Fulfilling Your Dreams (One Hour of Wisdom) to be so worthwhile that I watched and then read them in combination.
This is a gem of a book, the kind of thing that the author himself says should be read once, and then used as a daily reminder, reading several pages each day. I agree.
Most fascinating for me, as a specialist in information and intelligence, is the authors emphasis on pursuing the goddess of knowledge so as to make the goddess of wealth envious (hence attracting wealth), and also his emphasis on how the raw material of the world is non-material, everything is a hierarchy of states of information and energy, a seamless matrix of nothingness. What I used to write off as gobblygook now has meaning to me.
The author's emphasis on Failure as good finally resonates with me. I have just closed the door on fifteen years of trying to help governments get in touch with the 96% of the information they do not and cannot steal, and as I reflect back on all that leads to the founding of the Earth Intelligence Network, I see a string of failures that led to this day:
Refused an offer from Lloyd's Bank Internation to join US Marine Corps
Average infantry officer, accepted by CIA because of background
Resigned from CIA when I found the clandestine service corrupt
Resigned from the Civil Service as founder of USMC Intelligence Center when the lawyers refused to let me run another conference on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Abandoned effort to help US Government specificially in achieving access to the 96%v via a Multinational Decision Support Center, when too many factors precluded engagement.
Now I am here, about to begin my true life's work as intellligence officer to the five billion poor (and to those corporations that wish to follow the green to gold path, as well as those foundations that wish to use a global impact plan to armonize their spending for poverty, disease, environmental degradation and so on).
"Failing" at infantry, spying, bureaucracy was all a prelude to my life's work--I cannot yet say it is destiny, but my published books are now starting to show a pattern, and the next three (all free online as well as offered via Amazon, now, finally, "make sense:" Collective Intelligence: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace; Peace Intelligence: Assuring a Good Life for All; and Commercial Intelligence: From Moral Green to Golden Peace.
This book, which has two sections, one offering a page (sometimes more) on 26 steps, followed by one on 25 quantities of a unified field, is real and it is not at all squishy. I'd like to see more hard-nosed CEOs and others give this book a chance.

• The Field Of Inifinite Possibilities. Make Your Attunement With Meditation 24 February, 2008
Deepak Chopra in Creating Affluence writes about life and how you get what you want. Not only hard work and focus but by applying all the spiritual principles; letting go, surrender, faith, positive thinking, meditation and prayer. Creating Affluence is a guide literally from A to Z. And "Z" stand for the Zest of life. Staying upbeat and "facing life with abandon." The best part of this book is the daily reminder that we must stay strong and positive, give back to other people, and use our talents in the best possible way.

• Not A Great Book 15 June, 2008
This book is simple and could be read in a very short amount of time... that is if you choose to finish it. I did not finish it. I just could not get into it. I loved The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams and would recommend it to everyone. This book just fell short in my eyes.
