Editorial Review:
God is not a person or a thing but rather a process, according to world-renowned author and spiritual leader Deepak Chopra. The purpose of this ambitious book is to assure readers that anyone can engage in this process--"it isn't a matter of faith, religious teaching, innate goodness, luck or some other mysterious factor," Chopra explains. "Our brains are hardwired to find God." This hardwiring is deftly explored as Chopra lists the seven ways humans know God and how they correspond to the anatomy of our human brains. He devotes a chapter to each of the seven visions of God: "Protector," "Almighty," "God of Peace," "Redeemer," "Creator," "God of Miracles," and "Pure Being--I am." In every chapter he asks and answers the same questions for the readers: "Who am I?" "How do I fit in?" "How do I find God?" The format works well, helping to tame this broad discussion while also illuminating the different personality types that are attracted to these seven different visions.
Fortunately, Chopra is a gifted narrator, able to make human anatomy and quantum physics understandable while also keeping spiritual and metaphysical discussions grounded. As he drifts through the cloudy realms of ESP, telepathy, clairvoyance, miracles, obedience, loyalty, evil, ego, addictions, and mentors, readers can trust that there is a competent pilot at the helm, deftly guiding this excellent book. Plan to take some time with this one. It is perhaps his best yet and as such deserves a slow and steady commitment. --Gail Hudson
Dr. Deepak Chopra takes a scientific approach to spirituality in this mini version of the enormously inspiring New York Times bestseller, proposing that the human brain is hardwired to know God. The internationally renowned author proposes seven biological responses of the human nervous system that correspond to levels of divine experience. With insight into the human longing for connection with a higher being, this book speaks profoundly to readers of every faith.

Rating: - How To Know God
I really enjoyed reading this book,it gave me a better understanding of god and myself
Rating:  - a well written book
A great book and a must read for those who'd like to be acquainted with the real meaning and a deeper understanding of God. Yet, you would need an open mind before you could start holding and enjoy reading the book. If you're the kind of person who's ready to explore and face another view of reality, then your search for spiritual motivation, development and transformation will come to mind. Take your time and read the book rather slow since you will definitely get to learn, open a new door and gain ... Read More
Rating: - It's a simple dynamic: garbage in, garbage out.
The simple dynamic outlined here is what you put in is what you get out. If your view of God keeps you in a state of fear then that's your input. Don't expect anything different in the output. If your input is an understanding and free flowing energy where you exchange consciousness with the divine, then your output is of course a very positive and fulfilling result. In a nut shell, Dr. Chopra is teaching what we all know, how you treat others, including God, is directly proportional to how you are treated. ... Read More
Rating: - right book at the right time
Great book for organizing my thoughts on where I stand in my spiritual journey. I found this book to be a wonderful tool for tracking progress. Very accurate in my experience.
Rating:  - Dull, boring, and nearly made me blind
If I had to depend on this book to help me know God, I would be in big trouble. It started out as a good read, and had some interesting points, but by the time I got to chapter 4, I was so confused and bored. I have never read any of this guys books, but was impressed with him on tv. I think this author is a must to avoid for me. Also, the fine print was so little, I felt like I needed to call my eye doctor.
