Book Review

Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life by Deepak Chopra

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


"...the right response comes...to every situation as it occurs."

Dictionary.com defines affluence as: "abundance of money, property, and other material goods; riches; wealth." But it's also "an abundant supply, as of thoughts or words; a profusion," and "a flowing toward; afflux."

While the title sounds like the worst kind of "think and grow rich" new age schlock, Deepak Chopra takes the idea of wealth beyond a bank account to mean a rich, meaningful life. He points out that even with millions in the bank, if you're worried about every penny that's still poverty. He identifies and defines the different aspects to wealth, abundance, and affluence and how to identify what's already present in our lives and expand from there. A short, sweet read well worth the time.
