Like his previous best-selling books, this latest work from
world-renowned author Deepak Chopra draws on the
ancient Indian spiritual tradition of Vedanta to explore
the path to true and lasting happiness. Everyone has
material, financial, spiritual, and relationship goals, but
the goal of all of these goals is the same thing:
happiness. People believe that if only they could achieve
these things — that new car, raise, or partner — happiness
will come. But, as Chopra explains, as long as the
happiness comes from outside one's self, it is always at
the mercy of the inevitable ups and downs of life. The key
to long-lasting happiness is in the realization that the
very nature of the self is a joy that comes from within and
can not be affected by external circumstances.
