Book description
Golf for Enlightenment is the fable of Adam Seaver, an ordinary
person, with a terrible game. Adam meets a mysterious young teaching
pro named Wendy who, in seven crisp, short yet profound lessons,
teaches him things that seem baffling at first:
- You and the ball are one
- Find the now, and you will find the shot
- Let the game play you
From the moment they begin to put these lessons into practice, what
was previously a humiliation turns into a transforming experience, not
just for Adam's score but for his whole life.
Long a famous writer on spiritual subjects, hailed as the
poet-philosopher of mind-body medicine, Deepak Chopra found himself
fascinated by the game of golf. He could not escape its parallels to
life: 'Golf is like lightning caught in a bottle. It can turn triumph
into disaster in a split second.' Faced with the wild ups and downs of
his own game, Chopra crystallised a teaching based on mindfulness, the
ability to remain calm and focused, relaxed and powerful at the same
time. Mindfulness can improve any golf game, from the beginner's to
the tour professional's. And it can improve anybody's life, no matter
what game they play - or none.
Deepak Chopra is the author of more than fifty books translated
into over thirty-five languages, including numerous New York
Times bestsellers in both fiction and nonfiction.
