62. The Way of the Wizard: Twenty Spiritual Lessons for Creating the Life You Want

In this book, Deepak Chopra shares twenty spiritual lessons for taking control of your spiritual journey. Raging from love to selflessness to identity, Chopra presents these lessons from a sort of philosophical - slash - religious perspective.
Much of the book was a bit too mushy and "new-agey" for my taste; but there were some great lessons. For example:

"When you say you are in love, what you're really saying is that an image you carry around has been satisfied. This is how attachment begins, with attachment to an image ... Look beyond your emotions, which will always change, and ask what lies behind the image."

Also: "In the same way most of the events you call misfortunes or even divine punishment are really born of compassion, for God always takes the kindest way to correct imbalances in nature. It is you who build up these imbalances , which He must purify in order to save you from deeper misfortune."

The main thing that makes this book different from Chopra's other self-improvement books (or really, anyone else's since they all start to seem the same after a while) is the way in which it's told - it's divided up into twenty lessons, and each lesson is divided up into a story of a lesson that Arthur learns from Merlin the Wizard (because each of us have a "wizard" within us); a section about understanding the lessons; and one about living the lesson.
