Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New You

This book is helping me to let go of my body image (lateness) and judgement toward myself and the judgement I imagine other have about me, even if they are imaginary themselves! This book actually gives steps and suggestions on how to find love, compassion and how to balance the ego, mind and the soul. I really like this book. I have been studying it for weeks!

This was a good read for me. Quite eye opening...At the time I was going through a transformation in my life. Jaded by Dogmatic religions and feeling like Frederich Nietche this gave me a new sort of approach to bettering myself mentally physically as well as spiritually . I now know how to heal my body mind and spirit and keep myself on a better path. Truly inspirational book... made me begin researching a lot of holistic medicine, get away from prescription drugs. Distancing myself from toxic people and situations. And even meditating or simply taking a 10 minute rest from the rat-race really does amazing things. (slight personal digression there ;) Deepak goes at life from every conceivable angle (Sciences of Psychology and Medicine as well as spirituality {more so than typical religious dogma} Keep an open mind when you read this one and you can get a lot from it.

This book is rich with insights that confirm what science is discovering and ancient wisdom has always known, namely that there is much more to the "physical" body than what you see. More and more, we are hearing that the body is a flow of energy and intelligence, that it has no boundaries, and that the body and the mind are inseparably connected. In this amazing book, Deepak doesn't just describe that process, he tells you the part you play in making the body what it is. He explains how your state of mind affects every part of your body. Then he shows you how to tune your mind to a subtler level, and he tells you who the "you" is that is doing all this.For so long, we have thought of ourselves as a body that is conscious, but we have had the formula backwards. We are spiritual beings who are using a physical body for this space/time experience. Learning to think of ourselves as eternal beings opens us to what Deepak calls our immortal nature, whose home is the field of consciousness that is creating all that we see and know. Deepak tells us that when we come in contact consciously with that field, as we can do during meditation, "the brain mirrors it and the body has no choice but to shift. When that shift happens, the soul expands beyond its normal boundaries," and we begin to experience the wholeness that is the very substratum of Who and What We Are.Having said all that, Deepak then goes on to explain what life can be like when we connect consciously to the infinite aspect of our being. That connection changes our behavior even at the level of the soul, and when the soul changes, "the whole dance changes with you."Connecting with life at this deep level teaches us experientially that we are not just this body. We are unbounded awareness, and at that level, to quote Deepak, "You are enough. You are everything you need."How to live at this level? He talks about that, too. "Giving opens the flow," he tells us. "There will always be enough of what your soul has to give, so trust the flow. Look for the larger picture. Think on the cosmic scale. And always seek the highest outcome. The deeper your awareness, the richer your creation."In other words, we create ourselves - and our life - at the level of the soul. And just in case you hadn't thought of this yet, he concludes by telling us not only that the soul is our sacred body, "it is the junction point between infinity and the relative world."The mind can only take us so far, but "where thinking fails, consciousness is free to go on. The process of reinventing the body and resurrecting the soul is a journey, and the journey never ends." This is an amazing piece of work. I've read it three times already, and no doubt will be referring to it for a long time. If you are looking for a way to expand your boundaries and get in touch with your deeper self, then this book definitely is for you.

This book starts out with a few great concepts: Energy, Awareness, Conditioning and shows how you can use these to avoid preconceived ways of thinking and enhance your way of life. Somewhere after that the book loses its way and wanders all over the place. I often asked how we got onto said topic and what the main point was. The testimonials from clients, friends, etc seem contrived and are flat and boring. Also, the various lists in the book contain nothing more than what most of already know is good for us. At one point I felt like I was reading an old-fashioned astrology book.Still, I respect Deepak Chopra's larger message of exploring new ways of thinking. This book just seemed more like an average self-help book instead of something enlightening.

Don't start the book if you're not able to entertain heavy spiritual ideas while thinking critically (all in the same moment) This book can throw some pretty big thoughts to a person so make sure you have someone to share it with.

great read...he is a doctor...MD so he still has a body/material cell/energy system/idea going...everything else is spirit so i like his writing...good message the Soul/God within is ALL in ALL

This is actually the second time I have read this book. I checked it out from the library. There was so much information that I had to get the book and read it again. Great personal development book, using easy to understand references and tools

Deepak Chopra is a good teacher, so the book is pretty good. I'm reading while taking the class on DailyOm.com, so it's a nice extra boost to have. It was on time, and in good condition.

This book didn't hold my attention unlike Deepak Chopra's other publications. I can't put my finger on what it is but something just doesn't feel right in this book - it definitely lacks flow but other than that it's difficult to articulate the reasons why it hasn't been an enjoyable read for me.

I love Chopra. Good and wise book.

Deepak is funny and easy to understand

Brilliant read.

So interesting and true. Through my own experiences I know that what is written in this book is so true!
