What would life be like if you believed that every crisis is a blessing, that you're guided to meet the people who cross your path, and that everything happens for a reason? Deepak Chopra examines this topic with John Demartini, an internationally acclaimed speaker whose motivational programs are sought out by individuals and Fortune 5 corporations alike.From the viewpoint of modern science and the ancient wisdom teachings of Vedanta, Chopra provides the background, while Demartini's personal story brings the theories to life. Told by a teacher that he would never read, write, or be able to communicate, Demartini dropped out of school at age 13 and decided to become a surfer. Since landlocked central Texas held little hope for success, he embarked on a hitchhiking trek across the country in search of breaking waves and beautiful beaches. As Demartini shares the inspiring and often hilarious story of the people he's met and the wisdom he's gathered, you'll come to know the affirmations and profound pieces of advice that changed his life forever-and which can change yours as well.
