Booklist Review

From Zeus and Buddha to Batman and Superman, there are numerous similarities between ancient God figures and modern superheroes, according to Deepak Chopra and his son, Gotham, owner of a digital-comic-book distribution company. Based on Chopra's previous work, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (1994), this follow-up presents a fresh take on universal laws and spiritual wisdom. It also beckons readers to consider what it takes to foster the triumphant superhero within. The suggested seven laws pertain to the ability to cultivate balance amid chaos, transformation, power that empowers others, love, purpose or intention, and transcendence to oneness with all. Following these laws can help mere mortals realize their own true gifts and strengths for making the world a better place. A fun and enlightening book for comic-book aficionados and just about anyone.--DeGrane, Susa. Copyright 2010 Booklist
