5/5 Be Healthier and More Successful
  by Rebecca Johnson (Washington State)
Deepak Chopra believes that if you are happy you will naturally be healthier and more successful. He explains how we have the happiness formula backwards. Wealth does not bring happiness but being happy might bring wealth. This is probably just because you will have a more positive outlook on life.

In this DVD, Deepak Chopra explores meditation, cognitive therapy, pleasure, existential suffering, peace, harmony, good relationships, money, choices we make daily, helping humanity, dreams for the world, death, love and compassion. He explains how we should live in the present, get rid of toxic emotions and replace fear with love.

The audience is very responsive and there are quite a few times Deepak Chopra has everyone laughing. They do become really quiet when he starts discussing death.

While most of this DVD is about Buddhist teachings there is one mention of Jesus Christ. I found that this DVD could be enjoyed by anyone of any religion. The only thing I found myself questioning was Deepak's advice to a young boy to tell people he was "universal" when describing how he felt about religion. While you can take something good from most religions and personally apply it to your life I think it would be very difficult to say believe in a religion that worships idols and worship the one true God. It would seem that you would always be in conflict in such a case.

Deepak appears in this video wearing his trademark red sparkly glasses. He is very nicely dressed with a matching red shirt and red shoes. At first the glasses were a bit distracting but he is an excellent storyteller and soon I was enjoying his tales from India. I felt that watching this DVD confirmed some of my beliefs like that happiness comes from making other people happy and that you are happier when you have a sense of accomplishment.

5/5 it is a BLISS
  by T. Nguyen (San Jose CA)
After watching this DVD for the

1st time I feel so happy.

2nd time: joyful.

3rd:awesome and start to inspect, reflect myself.

4th: I know what good in me, and also what bad in me.

5th: Practice: decided to get rid of my bad side by confessing my "sins" and asking for forgiveness from whom I did "wrong", one person at a time...healing starts to take effect right away...feel most FREE ever in my life. For the 1st time I really understand what JESUS said: "you are in this world and not of it". Still working on the experience.

6th: want to make a different in others and starting at home...

7th: review and write down steps Chopra teaches: how to do it....etc and PRACTICE it.

8th, 9,....as I need.

Watch this DVD carefully and take your time (5 AM...yes around 5 AM is the best time, why? Silence. ) to reflect. EVERY WORD Chorpa uses in this DVD implied a "secret" (not a secret once one experiences it) to HAPPINESS, or highest form: Enlightment.

Good luck and best wishes

We can all learn to be happier by practicing some of the principles outlined
"We can be happy in ignorance or in enlightenment"

5/5 Highly Recommend to My Coaching Clients
  by Sandra Rupp (United States)
I highly recommend this DVD for anyone interested in positive psychology, spirituality and/or improving one's life. I was lucky enough to be invited to participate as audience guest for the taping of this in New York. Deepak has a way with words, and I liked the link to brain research for the Happiness Formula. I gave this DVD to a client and he liked it so much he bought it for several family members. It is on my listmania of Favorites.
