Why is God Laughing?: The Path to Joy and Spiritual Optimism Audiobook

" I still don't know why God is laughing, but I know why Deepak Chopra is laughing... "

" A great read. It is a spiritual book but not in the lecture style of so many of the genre. Deepak Chopra is inspiring and writes narratives that are easy to relate to. Definitely a worth read!! (and it only took 2 days to read) "

" Sweet and light. "

" This book is divided into two parts: an illustrative story at the beginning, and some spiritual principles from Mr Chopra at the end. The story is mildly entertaining but the principles are flat and uninspiring. The principles don't reference the story at all and it felt like two different books. The story was interesting but unbelievable and the book as a whole is not a must read. It's not a bad book, just not inspiring or educational. "

" Interesting story attempting to help us remember some important ideas that will help bring us closer to God. I enjoyed thinking in a new way about the concepts presented. Although I don't agree with everything presented in the epilogue, it is very thought provoking and good for discussion. "

" Ebenezer Scrooge meets the 21st Century. I'm not quite sure why God is laughing, but Chopra's message is the same as many of the other spirituality / New Age books out there: joy comes from within. And meditate. "

" We are souls playing the role of people. "

" Quick read where you learn several good lessons 1) let go of fear 2) remove your ego 3) get rid of all types of addictions. "

" This book had a wonderful message about life and ways to live it. It is very profound, yet at the same time very light hearted. I highly recommend it for everyone to read. "

" The story was readable and engaged me, but then as it began to explain the "lessons" from the story it became more fluffy new age jargon with lack of substance. If you are looking for a relaxing read, give it a shot. However, if you are looking for depth in spirituality, this isn't the best option. "

" Who knew spirituality could be so funny?!? A very worthy read! "

" I couldn't get into this book. I'm sure the ending had a good message, Deepak couldn't hold my attention through this one. "

" I really enjoyed reading this and think that maybe I need to read it again...I'm pretty light minded and some of the deeper concepts sort of bounced off my brain!! But basically, this book is about being comfortable in your skin and knowing that God loves us no matter who we are. "

" I'm sure I don't agree with everything Chopra teaches, but this book was enjoyable, especially the story part, where a comedian whose father has just died has a series of encounters with a mystical stranger that reveal his own need to change, and he does. "

" Good but weird. Not what I expected, but not in a bad way. "

" I inst love anything writtne by Deepak Chopra. This book is really funny though-I enjoyed it and would highly recommend it! "

" short read. not like Chopra's other books - fictional story, though it does end with a spiritual review of the character. "

" because he got the joke :) I love that book "

" Interesting - gets you thinking... a book with more questions than answers (but that's good, you can't figure out life in just a few short chapters!) - told through the eyes of a comedian. "

" This book was quite a bit different from the other Chopra books that I have read. The spiritual lessons and ideas come through story, which makes this a light read. The book ends with 10 "principals of spiritual optimism" that I found useful and will continue to refer to in the future. "

" very good and simple book to read. enjoyed very much "

" A bit of humour by Deepak Chopra. Quite funny is parts and shows us how to find the light amid the darkness through humour. "

" I like Chopra's fiction writing. Very enjoyable to read. "

" I loved that this book was a unique way of looking at how we succumb to our fears and ego. As one who has recently started on my spiritual journey, I have to say the lack of judgment in this book was appreciated. This is not a hilarious book...but well worth the read. "

" I enjoyed reading all of Dr. Chopra's books. He has the ability to bring spiritual thoughts down to earth to common people. "

" The best bit's at the end "

" Enjoyed. the story was ok but the epilogue is where the meat is. Very nice thoughts. "

" The title made me so curious that I had to buy it right away... It's a different book with a very different point of view.. I think it's an interesting and enjoyable read... "
