Jesse Bullington: IMG Abash'd the Devil Stood



I don't believe in evil. It's a word I use, certainly, because words are shortcuts and we all take the short way round from time to time, but that's... Continue »

Golf for Enlightenment: The Seven Lessons for the Game of Life

by Deepak Chopra

Golf for Enlightenment: The Seven Lessons for the Game of Life Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Deepak Chopra has discovered the delights—and frustrations—of golf, and he is passionate about the game. Confronted by the wild ups and downs of his own play, he consulted with golf professionals and developed a new approach to the game that any golfer can follow—from the novice to the expert. The results can be measured not only in increased enjoyment and skill, but also in greater wisdom about life beyond the 18th hole.

Chopra’s own game has improved dramatically since incorporating the elements of his program. Instead of focusing on the mechanics of a “perfect” swing, Chopra reveals how golf can be mastered through mindfulness, a form of awareness that combines sharp focus and relaxation at the same time. Expanded awareness, he tells us, can accomplish much more than external mechanics to improve one’s game.

But Golf for Enlightenment is also an engrossing story about Adam, an Everyman who is playing a terrible round of golf when he meets a mysterious young teaching pro named Leela. In seven short but profound lessons detailing spiritual strategies, she teaches Adam the essence of a game that has much to explain about life itself.

Chopra has spent the last year taking the unique message in Golf for Enlightenment nationwide, teaching the essential tenets of his program at lectures and seminars to golfers everywhere. His message continues to help players turn an obsession into a positive life path.

Review:

“Too many players make the game of golf a results-based game instead of an experience. The perspective in this book will help players get past that and the result will be a higher level of enjoyment for this game.”Tom Addis III, former president of the PGA of America

Review:

“This is the finest book on golf that I have ever read. If you are interested in taking your game to the next level, this is a must-read.”Dave Stockton, Jr., PGA professional

Review:

“This book walks hand in hand with the Bible in how to live. This is a great connection between everyday life and your athletic one.”Sterling Sharpe, ESPN analyst and golfer

Review:

“Golf for Enlightenment is an eloquent reminder that there is a Garden of Eden just waiting to be discovered in all of us.”Marcus Allen, CBS football analyst and golfer

Synopsis:

Instead of focusing on the mechanics of a "perfect" swing, in "Golf for Enlightenment" Chopra reveals how golf can be mastered from the soul as he applies his unique insights on spirit and mindfulness to the game that is an obsession for millions. 12 line illustrations.
