> LE CHEMIN VERS L'AMOUR, de Dr Deepak Chopra - Ed. Robert Laffont. — Un guide pratique et spirituel du bien aimer pour vivre en harmonie avec soi-même et avec les autres… L'amour a des effets biologiques positifs sur la santé et des répercussions harmonieuses sur la vie sociale : augmentation de l'espérance de vie, résistance plus élevée à la maladie, relations facilitées avec les autres.
L'amour est un sentiment, mais aussi un pouvoir. L'amour peut accomplir ce que les sentiments sont impuissants à réaliser. Médecin endocrinologue de formation, Deepak Chopra, après avoir étudié auprès d'un sage Indien, gourou à son époque des Beatles, se tourne vers les médecines parallèles, puis vers la spiritualité. Son enseignement, technique et spirituel, porte sur la possibilité, pour chacun de nous, d'accéder à l'harmonie.
Grâce à des exercices concrets et à des exemples tirés de son expérience professionnelle, il montre comment mieux aimer pour avancer plus vite sur le chemin vers l'amour.
L'auteur est né à New Delhi. Il est arrivé aux Etats-Unis en 1970 pour terminer ses études de médecine. En 1985, il a été nommé directeur du New England Memorial Hospital de Boston. Il est directeur du Sharp Institute for Human Potential and Mind/Body Medicine à San Diego (Californie).
Les seize ouvrages dont il est l'auteur ont été traduits en vingt-cinq langues et vendus à plus de six millions d'exemplaires à travers le monde.

Deepak Chopra’s The Path to Love: Renewing the Power of Spirit in Your Life explored love from many perspectives. The author used a number of case studies of subjects who had difficulties with some aspects of their married life, to show how to overcome blockages in their relationships. And he included questionnaires as he attempted to guide readers in discovering pertinent qualities applicable for cultivating a more fulfilling love life.
Using analogies from Indian religions of the Vedic scriptures and Upanishads the writer incorporated the mysteries of love not only in the Eastern tradition, but he also examined many of the Christian practices of the Western world. Among the topics Chopra discussed were the ego, surrender, sensuality, ecstasy, and compassion as he endeavored to show that in order for love to succeed it has to attain a spiritual dimension. ( )

I know I read two of Dr. Chopra's earlier books. Don't know for sure if it was this one, but picked this early one here in order to put in my opinion of Dr. Chopra's books. I kept feeling as if I were reading an astrology forecast. There was alot of impressive-sounding words and phrases, but he didn't really say anything. However, he was so vague (I believe deliberately vague) most people could "fit themselves in" and say "Yeah! That's me!!" and come away pretty impressed. I would read whole pages over again and wondered if I was just missing some profound point he was making. There would be one or two main points to each book, usually readily grasped from the title, but the rest seemed a waste of good trees. I've never been a hard-nose skeptic. I've always been interested in spirituality, 'the bigger picture," why we're here in this life, what happens after we die, reincarnation, etc, so I don't think it's because I don't agree with him.

Obviously, I know its been about 15 years since I've read him, and maybe his books have changed. I doubt it, but I will read a recent one and add an update to this review if my opinion changes. I know this entire review may sound very hostile to Mr. Chopra, but my primary purpose for writing this is to let people know that if they don't "get it", it's not their fault. On the flip side, I know that there are those who feel they have been genuinely helped and that is truly wonderful. ( )
