Summary
An enlightening guide to success， fulfillment， wholeness， and plenty， offering practical advice on how to cultivate a sense of abundance in times of fear and insecurity， from New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra。
Many of us live and operate from a mindset of lack， scarcity， and limitation。 We focus on what we don't have--financial security， confidence， an intimate relationship--which keeps us feeling insecure and inadequate。 We think if only I could have those things， I could be happy。 But constantly striving for more often means our ego is driving our thoughts， actions， and reactions， preventing us from reaching something greater: a true sense of inner peace， acceptance， and fulfillment。 And these internal experiences allow us to access the great riches of the universe and life's unbounded possibilities。
In The Yoga of Money， Deepak Chopra illuminates the inner path to abundance， helping readers tap into a deeper sense of awareness and become agents of change in their own lives。 He demonstrates how to work past self-generated feelings of limitation and fear and provides meditations to help you focus and direct your attention， energy， and intuition so you can experience stability， prosperity， insight， creativity， love， and true power。

The basic premise of this book is solid: cultivating an inner sense of abundance is important beyond just earning money， and satisfaction comes more from use of "creative intelligence" （similar to Csikszentmihalyi's term "flow"） aligned with your dharma than from having nice things。 Readers unfamiliar with Chopra might expect more about money or perhaps spiritually manifesting wealth， but this book is principally an introduction to the chakra system as well as a handful of yogic， Hindu， and Budd The basic premise of this book is solid: cultivating an inner sense of abundance is important beyond just earning money， and satisfaction comes more from use of "creative intelligence" （similar to Csikszentmihalyi's term "flow"） aligned with your dharma than from having nice things。 Readers unfamiliar with Chopra might expect more about money or perhaps spiritually manifesting wealth， but this book is principally an introduction to the chakra system as well as a handful of yogic， Hindu， and Buddhist principles。 There are quizzes throughout to help the reader assess their own experience， as well as frequent lists of ways to identify alignment or misalignment with creative intelligence and specific exercises and meditations for each chakra， making the material easy to practically apply。I actually found the parts directly focusing on money the least compelling， as there is little focus on systemic factors and it seems odd the way a broader abundance consciousness is introduced， but then money is offered as an inevitable result of this consciousness， reinforcing the goal rather than challenging it。 Chopra's language can also be quite binary， leaving little room for error in the application of principles。 It starts to feel bootstrappy， as if any competent person can simply decide to change their wealth or other habits like unhealthy eating patterns。 While I do believe mindful practices can change mindset and even influence reality， I can't help but wonder about Chopra's caste background given the way he talks about wealth。 The virtue angle won't appeal to some readers， who may find the tone too blamey to relate。 The focus is very individual， not about collaborating to overcome systemic problems， and there seems to be an assumption that the reader is middle-class and fairly happy with capitalism as an economic model。 At times Chopra's writing comes across as straight-up bypassing or toxic positivity， without enough nuance applied to distinguish the power of intention from a "man over nature" kind of manifestation model。 On the other hand， I did find the focus on creative intelligence in pursuit of your dharma to be inspiring and helpful。 Chopra's take on consciousness is radical and a little out there， but even readers who can't quite buy into the most literal interpretation of his teachings will likely find some useful insight in how the chakra system is laid out as an organization system that allows creative intelligence （wisdom） to flow。 For each chakra， a theme is introduced and explored from a few angles。 As a non-Hindu reviewer， I think it's important to note that I can't comment on how Chopra's interpretation of the chakras compares to others'， or where it falls in relation to the commercializing and Westernizing of the system。 But taken on their own terms， these chapters are accessible and guide the reader through some key principles of mindful living such as inherent enoughness， balancing reason and intuition， cultivating simple awareness， manifestation through intention， leading from loving intention in relationships， making space for things to happen in unexpected ways rather than forcing action， and seeing fulfillment as collective rather than individual or uniquely human。If you approach this work through the filter of your own values， with an eye out for the ways the language may be catering to a particular audience， you'll find some useful takeaways。 The overall message of abundance as natural， with an emphasis on getting your ego out of your own way， certainly has merit， and in general the recommended practices can be useful。 I'll just pass on any recommendation coming from a male author telling me to resist less and smile more。（ARC provided through NetGalley。） 。。。more

It definitely wasn't what I was expecting。 The structure is strange。 The first half contains sort of general tips about building and maintaining wealth in the real world and I thought I would glean more information about Chopra's practical take on those things but it felt kind of general and vague。The second half of the structure is completely just a run-through of the seven chakras with an eye （most of the time） to abundance。 There were some moments that really got me thinking but if you are al It definitely wasn't what I was expecting。 The structure is strange。 The first half contains sort of general tips about building and maintaining wealth in the real world and I thought I would glean more information about Chopra's practical take on those things but it felt kind of general and vague。The second half of the structure is completely just a run-through of the seven chakras with an eye （most of the time） to abundance。 There were some moments that really got me thinking but if you are already familiar with the chakras and unblocking them I don't know how much more new information you'll get。 The quizzes are somewhat helpful in making real-life connections between these spiritual concepts and real life but only to a point。Bottom line: I thought this book would be much more proactive and practical in its tone than it was， and the structure really surprised （and bothered） me。 Also--this is important--where were the citations？！！？ It's so， so important when you are mentioning articles or studies and statistics to CITE YOUR SOURCES， ESPECIALLY in a book about living your values in your professional life！ I was shocked not to find a single damn one in this book。 Especially when you are writing for skeptics and people who are looking to call your message pie-in-the-sky， why would you make a decision like that？ There was one place where Chopra literally quotes an article and doesn't say who wrote it so if you want to know who deserves credit or where to learn more， you can't。 That turned me off maybe most of all。I am disappointed since I think Chopra has a lot of relevant and interesting things to say in our times and I like his meditations。 I can't stress enough。。。 the lack of source citation literally contradicts the entire pushing of professional ethics。 。。。more

I’m not sure what I was expecting but just left disappointed。 It was mostly about aligning chakras。 I really dislike quizzes in books too and I just felt like there was too many it disrupted the flow。 I did underline several passages so some of the book was helpful。 I do think the title is misleading too。 He was arguing doing inner work and working on awareness leads to abundance which isn’t new。 He mentions yoga a lot too which I think he assumes his readers would immediately understand the con I’m not sure what I was expecting but just left disappointed。 It was mostly about aligning chakras。 I really dislike quizzes in books too and I just felt like there was too many it disrupted the flow。 I did underline several passages so some of the book was helpful。 I do think the title is misleading too。 He was arguing doing inner work and working on awareness leads to abundance which isn’t new。 He mentions yoga a lot too which I think he assumes his readers would immediately understand the connection。 I feel like the editors didn’t do much here to make it a cohesive read for someone who might not have read all of his books。 。。。more

He starts to talk about aligning yourself with your true purpose in life， which really got me thinking。 I started to talk to my friends about some of the big picture questions that he poses very early on so that you do some soul searching。We discussed the big causes that we want to work on， and it made me realize that a lot of my time， money， and energy are not spent on the things that I personally believe are the highest priorities。 While I will never be perfect， the book points out how you can He starts to talk about aligning yourself with your true purpose in life， which really got me thinking。 I started to talk to my friends about some of the big picture questions that he poses very early on so that you do some soul searching。We discussed the big causes that we want to work on， and it made me realize that a lot of my time， money， and energy are not spent on the things that I personally believe are the highest priorities。 While I will never be perfect， the book points out how you can move forward in the direction you want to go。 I received a review copy from NetGalley。 。。。more
