Happiness is something everyone desires. Yet how to find happiness—or even if we deserve to—remains a mystery.
The goal of life is the expansion of happiness, but today’s society reinforces the belief that fulfillment comes from achieving success, wealth, and good relationships. Chopra tells us that the opposite is true: All success in life is the by-product of happiness, not the cause.
In this book, Chopra shows us seven keys for a life based on a sense of your “true self” lying beyond the ebb and flow of daily living. Simple daily exercises can lead to eliminating the root causes of unhappiness and help you to:
• Recognize real happiness and not settle for less
• Find true self-esteem, which doesn’t depend on anything outside you
• Return to the state of joy, peace, and spontaneous fulfillment that is your natural birthright
• Focus on the present and learn to live it fully
• Experience enlightenment
After all avenues to happiness have been explored, only one path is left: the journey to enlightenment. In The Ultimate Happiness Prescription, we are taken on an inspiring journey to learn the secrets for living mindfully and with effortless spontaneity for the true self, the only place untouched by trouble and misfortune.

Here are the two latest from prolific and popular healer and motivational speaker Chopra. "Reinventing the Body" emphasizes the longstanding dichotomy of body and soul in our culture and attempts to reinvigorate the notion that the mind is the key and governor of the body. According to Chopra, we rely too readily on empirical science and allopathic medicine; openness to change will bring tangible improvement to the body. "The Ultimate Happiness Prescription" is a much briefer book, a kind of Chopra-lite recipe for self-awareness and personal growth, which, for Chopra, is to be found in body awareness, self-esteem, focus on the present, and similar psychological remedies. VERDICT Chopra's books have less to do with literature or spirituality than with the multimedia Chopra empire; these two, one a loosely knit version of one of his workshops, the other a thumbnail version of his life advice, may frustrate his regular readers but intrigue new spiritual seekers.Copyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
