The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra

During the week, I read Deepak Chopra's The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence. I've read several of his other books -- The Path to Love: Spiritual Strategies for Healing, How to Know God: the soul’s journey into the mystery of mysteries, and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: a practical guide to the fulfillment of your dreams -- and generally found them soothing.

And after reading Lynne McTaggart's The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World and re-reading Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, I was particularly interested to learn Chopra's views on essentially the same topic -- being in tune with oneself.
