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.
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.
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, 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.

'poetic words and heightened illumination'
When I’m presented with the latest Deepak Chopra book, I know I must carve out an entire day to sit and saturate myself with his poetic words and heightened illumination. After that day is done, nothing is quite the same. So it was with The Book of Secrets. Subtitled Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life, this is presented by Chopra as the only way to fulfill our 'deepest hunger'. He describes it as a 'mystery' and sets out to inspire the reader 'to feel the passion and dedication required to get there'. In his fifteen secrets, ranging from 'you are not in the world, the world is in you', to meeting your real self, from the 'choiceless life' to the power of alchemy, from the natural compatibility of life and death to 'escaping the bondage of cause and effect', it’s all here and all seething with energy. Exercises at the end of each chapter draw the reader further into the subjective perspective. I love what he has to say about seeking, about spirituality, about fear and evil, and about awareness and perspective. If you think you have already read Chopra and know what he’s about, then I invite you to read deeper now and immerse yourself in the 'dimensions of your life'.
