Boundless Energy: The Complete Mind/Body Program for Overcoming Chronic Fatigue by Deepak Chopra
inesnp's review against another edition
1.0
Actually, terrible.
I bought a copy because a friend of mine had told me how much she had learnt from this and so, out of curiosity, I had to check it out. I started doubting when “studies” were mentioned without any reference to the concrete study: neither an author, an investigator or a book. The only footnote in the whole book was to mention another book from the same author.
All of my belief was completely crushed when I start reading the author making up random origins for words just for convenience.
Besides all of that, I think it’s intelectually dishonest for a person to talk about a subject as if it was science without exploring it or referring to other books. Most of the book is about things that all “healthy people” do, that everyone knows, but written with a kind of superiority that forces the reader to simply believe in what is written without further proof.
The whole book’s content, or almost, may be true, but there are too many leads for it not being that way, and also I would like some evidence for the so called “scientific” theories exposed.
