A fifteen-year-old boy is walking through a swirling fog on his way to school when a voice calls out, "Come here. We need to talk." Out of the mist emerges an old man with a white beard. He is a fantastic figure, as wizardly as Merlin, as wise as Socrates, as peaceful as Buddha. Whoever he is, the old man has appeared on that very day to change the boy's life.
"You are old enough to learn about things," he says mysteriously. "And who is going to teach you but me?"
The old man gives the boy four days of "soul training," a time of riddles, tricks, parables, and incredible twists that brings out surprising answers to each of four burning questions about spirituality:
Do I have a soul?
How do wishes come true?
What is the supreme force in the universe?
How can I change the world?
"The old man with the white beard showed me the spiritual side of life," writes Deepak Chopra, "where real passion and excitement come from. So before you begin, take a deep breath. This story could turn out to be yours."

At the age of 8, the author experienced a life-changing accident that saw him lie in a coma for two weeks, after which he was left paralysed and unable to speak. The doctors gave him a 30% chance of survival, and said that even if he did live, it was likely that he'd spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and with limited cognitive abilities. From that day on he had a burning desire and a deep intuition that he would prove them all wrong. Fuelled with this newly acquired insight into life, and with tremendous determination, he incrementally built upon the positive influence of this otherwise profound adversity. His passion and mission is to share this knowledge and experience with others who are ready to take the next steps towards a more triumphant life. This book is the story of a man who used his unique outlook on life as the foundations to defy all odds. It explains how he stepped out of the wheelchair. It describes the techniques that he developed to heal his emotional traumas, including his anger and frustrations. It explains how he circumnavigated his disenchantment. Alongside other significant achievements, he went on to complete his scientific doctorate at the University of Oxford, and having subsequently discovered many secrets to health and wellbeing, he's transformed himself in ways unimaginable by conventional medical care. He's now living a very fruitful, joyful and contented life. This book is written for his children from a scientific perspective, and in a way that's understandable for everyone. It assimilates conventional self-help and personal development topics like meditation, the power of the subconscious mind, manifestation and raising your vibrational frequency, nutrition, relationships, health, and alternative medicine and well-being. It also broaches on less discussed topics such as, 'drugs', sex, alcohol and addictions, and schooling. It provides much advice, food for thought, 'neat life hacks', and references to further research, on how to live your best life in its entirety. The audience is invited to use his references to do their own research, should they choose to do so. Once you start reading this book, you won't want to put it down. Are you ready to take the next steps towards attaining the life that you so deserve?
