Physician and best-selling author Deepak Chopra addresses a rapt audience on what he considers seven simple yet powerful principles on how an individual can develop the attitude to attain success. Beginning by defining success in various ways, Chopra's language tends toward phrases such as "success is the progressive expansion of the state of happiness." Referring to a diagram that illustrates relationships between concepts such as "pure potentiality" and "energy fields," Chopra moves onto explaining his "seven spiritual laws" and how they govern the "spontaneous flow of intelligence." The various laws, including "Karma" and "Detachment," are all given a thorough and often entertaining explanation. While some might ridicule Chopra as a New Age charlatan, his lecture is presented in an earnest and coherent manner, and he often tosses in literary and scientific references as well as simple examples of common sense to back up his statements. A second feature, The Crystal Cave: Lessons from the Teachings of Merlin, is also included on this DVD. Martin Sheen as Arthur, Robert Guillaume as Merlin, and Johanna Cassidy as the narrator give a dramatic reading designed to teach the audience to "summon the inner wizard." --Robert J. McNamara
