Description

Chopra turns his mind-body eye on golf, a recently acquired personal hobby. Unfortunately, he juxtaposes his metaphysical approach to enjoyment and mastery of the game with a less-than-masterful fiction about Adam Seaver, a 36-year-old Bostonian who often lets his emotions and ego interfere with his golf swing. Adam encounters a mysterious male stranger during a particularly horrendous round of golf. When Adam follows the stranger’s instructions and shows up at an isolated shack for some much-needed lessons, a young, attractive woman named Wendy appears and proceeds to teach Adam about his inner game.While golf as a head game is not a new idea, it’s never been taught with the deep understanding of the mind-body connection that Chopra brings to this audio. The seven life principles, right out of Chopra’s teaching and even more inviting in a golf context, are offered as an allegory that pits a struggling golfer against the things in himself that get in his way on the golf course. His young teaching pro, Leela, offers him guidance that, expressed with Chopra’s usual elegance, transforms the overzealous scorekeeper into a person fully connected with the beauty of the game. A seminal resource for anyone who loves the game or is trying to love it and for anyone wanting to love life.
