Product Description
Fifteen years after his #1 New York Times bestseller, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra revisits "the forgotten miracle"–the body's infinite capacity for change and renewal. You cannot take advantage of this miracle, Chopra says, unless you are willing to completely reinvent your body, transforming it from a material object to a dynamic, flowing process. "Your physical body is a fiction," Chopra contends. Every cell is made up of two invisible ingredients: awareness and energy.
Using Chopra's ten steps to wholeness, you can harness those basic elements to change the distorted energy patterns that are the root cause of aging, infirmity, and disease.
Transformation can't stop with the body, however; it must involve the soul. The soul–seemingly invisible, aloof, and apart from the material world–actually creates the body. Only by going to the level of the soul will you access your full potential, bringing more intelligence, creativity, and awareness into every aspect of your life.
Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul delivers ten breakthroughs–five for the body, five for the soul–that lead to self-transformation. In clear, accessible terms, Chopra shows us how to commit ourselves to deeper awareness, focus on relationships instead of consumption, embrace every day as a new world, and transcend the obstacles that afflict body and mind.
Deepak Chopra has inspired millions with his profound teachings over the years. His bestselling books have explored the mind/body connection and the power of spirit. With his latest book, he invites you to experience with him the miracles that unfold when we connect the body directly to the awesome mysteries that give life meaning–directly to the soul. When you have completed this journey, after reinventing your body and resurrecting your soul, the ecstasy of true wholeness becomes possible for the very first time.

"Your immune system gets stronger or weaker in response to being in a loving or unloving relationship." ~ pg. 9
It seems there is no end to Deepak Chopra's creativity, as he seems to write new books at an astonishing rate. I've read enough of his books to have gained a general understanding of what he believes and why. "Reinventing The Body, Resurrecting The Soul" takes about six hours to read (at least it took me double the time I normally take to read one of his books) but in that time you will feel very understood. Part of the magic of Deepak's writing is that he has the ability to guide your soul through a process of change so you come away with tangible ways to make your life more fulfilling. I also found the stories in this book to be especially magical.
This book is in some way mainly about spiritual evolution. There are some excellent points made about the contrast between the soul and the ego. By reading this book you will gain a deeper understanding about how you are living your life and what you are doing to either respect or disrespect your soul. Deepak Chopra also emphasizes that it is important to look after the body. He promotes the idea that physical activity and an active intellectual life will keep you younger.
"If you want to change your body, a change in awareness must come first." ~ pg. 51
While for most of the book I felt I was agreeing with the main ideas I found the last idea Deepak presents to be far from believable. While it is true that parents have the power to create a new life I don't think humans originally created themselves. He asks the question: "Who made me" and answers it with "I made myself."
It is true that throughout this book Deepak makes statements that Christians will question. He does however note that they are going to object. In all honesty I think both Deepak Chopra and his editor made sure to remove most of the objectionable things that could have been in this book. There are very few New Age ideas and quite a few Buddhist and Christian ideas thrown into the mix. Christians will of course disagree with the statements about everyone being part of one big universal soul and that the soul does not need salvation. Deepak's ideas about how the soul helps us relate to God are however interesting.
I think anyone of any religion can benefit from this book and I don't think it will change any of your major beliefs. For me at least I found this book comforting and encouraging. For the most part this is a book about how to love your body and soul and how to reach a stage where you experience unconditional love and acceptance. You may even come away from this book feeling like it was written just for you.
