"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 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. 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. 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. It is 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.

"I loved everything about this book. I listened to the whole unabridged audiobook twice and couldn't stop taking notes. I finally bought a copy hoping my daughters would read it and will buy another to keep for myself. It is by far the best book written by Chopra. "

— Linda, 2/9/2014" Huh. This seemed a little too out there. As a matter of fact, it seemed a book written with the express intent of relying on the name 'Chopra' to sell it (I can just about guarantee you can find the exact same themes in his various other books). From this point of view, I thought it was a pretty good mini-anthology and it's not as if the topics discussed weren't interesting and topical; they were and are. It's just that ... I dunno ... maybe it was the butterfly on the cover. "
