Deepak writes a great book. They are a great read, but not very convincing at all. I personally find him to be quite narrow in his cosmology. A problem Deepak is his refusal to acknowledge Jesus - where true liberty is found.

The above post is very good.

I too have read many of Chopra's works and agree with what's said above, especially the following:

There is a great difference between material and spiritual wealth.

All of this however begs the question, why is an investing site reporting on spiritual matters anyway?

Many of the concepts Chopra brings up are in fact quite complex, especially to those who are accustomed to thinking in a different manner, which is fine by the way. What makes it sometimes difficult for many, myself included, is that he can bring these concepts up lightly, as if they're just in light conversation, when in fact to understand them, many of us need to ponder.

Well there are several ways to interpet DeepAk (your article has a typo). Firstly that God is a mental invention of man which nevertheless exerts great influence of human behaviour, and therefore we need to rethink the role we have given God in a more feminine role in order to influence the direction the world is moving in (even atheiest should see the point here). The other way to see Deepak (Having read one of his books I see fit to comment) is that we are all part of the divine commonly called "god", so our interpretation of god is the experience of god looking at itself. So by changing our interpretation of god we also change ourselves since we are part of the divine. God isn't in a sense "out there", the divine is in ourselves, our experiences and our world. Bundling crass spiritual materialism (ala the "secret") with the "humbug" of questioning religious truth does your argument no favours. It only idicates how little you have read on the subject. There is a great difference between material and spiritual wealth. All of this however begs the question, why is an investing site reporting on spiritual matters anyway?
