“The book centers on questions Chopra has received from teenagers in person and online. The topics are divided into subjects such as success, well being, relationships, and God. The book is at its best when Chopra is explaining his spiritual philosophy, one that transcends organized religion and focuses on the underlying connectedness in the world and on the everyday miracles pervading life.” Booklist
Adults squirm when the big questions come up, especially the big spiritual ones. They don’t want their kids to worry, so they give answers that all say one thing: “Don’t worry. It’s all okay.”
And yet the big questions still keep coming up. At every age we all need to know what life is really all about. Not just on the surface, but deep down.
Teenagers are no exception. They deserve a spiritual life all their own. One that offers the kind of comfort we hope to give our children, but is different at the same time. More full of ideas. More mature. More fitting for the whole wide future that lies ahead.
That’s what I’ve tried to do in this book, as fully and as honestly as possible.

“Chopra describes this title as a guide to spirit as seen through the eyes of teenagers…The basic advice is sound…[and] the use of repetition, transitions, and other language conventions, is exceptional.” School Library Journal
