Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

"Affluence is the experience in which our needs are easily met and our desires spontaneously fulfilled," says one of our kindest authorities on living in harmony with the universe. We can create this experience not through effort or struggle but through simply becoming aware of the intelligence that is everywhere. It's an intelligence that can transform every moment of our existence and direct us to the work and abundance we are meant to have. It's an elusive idea for Westerners but one Chopra makes exceptionally inviting. This is one of his most accessible and useful audios, brief enough for daily listening that can shift your awareness and your activities to the abundance you deserve.

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Step to Creating Affluence, June 18, 2002

By

This review is from: Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life (Chopra, Deepak) (Paperback)

I have read and reread this book for two years. I also own the audio cassette. This is not a "how to" book that lists step by step how to become wealthy as if you were building cabinets or installing a door. It is, however, a very powerful book that attempts to change the way one thinks. Creating affluence or building wealth requires an entirely different way of thinking that most of us were not taught as we were growing up. In order to change anything in your life, you must first change your thinking. This book teaches you this in an easy to read format. The Quantum theory is not as easy to understand, but it is necessary to explain how these thoughts and techniques work.

Much like any tool, it is only as effective as its user. If you do as the author suggests and read this book daily or listen to the tape, you will reap the rewards. You may not grasp all of it the first few times through.

I feel that it is only the first step. I would also recommend that one read the Rich Dad series after this one. If you haven't read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, you should read it as well.

This review is from: Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life (Chopra, Deepak) (Paperback)

A good friend gave me this book over 5 years ago - since then I have given new copies to many friends. I have followed Chopra's advice in the book to read 3 pages a day ongoingly and randomly...doing this lets the ideals sink into your subconscious and work in your life. This book has reinforced and supplemented what I have deep down always known and has been of tremendous joy and use to me. While the Indian based philosophy might not resonate with everyone, it really clicked with me and how I learn & listen. I can honestly say that my income has tripled since reading and applying the tenants, and my enjoyment of All the wealth that I have in my life has greatly increased (friends, health, a full belly, family, etc.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, May 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life (Chopra, Deepak) (Paperback)

Contained in this little book (page 13) is a Note From The Author that states "For best results, I suggest that you read the entire book once and subsequently read five pages on a daily basis." Well, he sure knows what he's talking about. If you are open-minded or ready for change, this just may be the book you need. Get it from the library first, (as I did) and I bet you'll wind up buying it, (as I did). The wonder of this book is that the pages (don't panic, they are short, to-the-point pages) are such easy, common sense reading, that you almost (ALMOST) feel silly having someone remind you of the obvious. What's that saying, "You will never see the big picture until you remove yourself from it." Well, step aside, get out of your own way and let the universe perform its wonders on you. You will not be disappointed. May you have health, wealth, and effortless abundance!
