On: Design a Lucky Life

[spraak]

There's a somewhat related book by Deepak Chopra called The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire

While I am not as negative towards ideas presented on the site, Deepak Chopra is full of shit. Like seriously.

One thing is to go Secret, woo-woo and another is to understand to explore and followup on opportunities when they are presented to you.

I haven't followed his work lately, I've just read a few of his much older books. He might be full of shit now, but I can see how most people here wouldn't be into what he shares, as it's more Feely Science than 'real' science. I enjoy both and have found his perspective on spiritual life helpful, among many other sources of course.

To quote Julia Sweeney: “Deepak Chopra is full of shit!”

Pasting my comment elsewhere here as well:

There are no things called “Feely Science” or “'real' science”. What you call “'real' science” is called “science”. What you call “Feely science” isn’t science, and is called, variously, “superstition”, “woo”, and “bullshit”.
