The Child of the Dawn is a book worth reading and then re reading. It is a story about a young boy in search of adulthood and the power that comes with being an adult. After an extensive search through out the countryside, the young boy discovers that what he is searching for can only be found from within. He must turn to himself to complete his search. Although not required, reading "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" by the author's father, will help you to better understand this book.

I liked this book. I found it suitable for any religion. At first, I thought it was going to be too "New Age" for me, then I decided I was being too closed minded and relaxed, just took it in. Soon I was gaining in a positive way. I will reread this for a pick me up. Also, I copied several phrases from the book to use as reminders of daily encoragement. I wanted to give it a 5, however couldn't because I am not sure I would feel totally comfortable sharing or gifting this book to just anyone. It does require some basic free thinking and application of one's own faith journey to be successful, I would be afraid some wouldn't get past some of the open ended concepts of the journey...maybe not, maybe I am still too closed minded, read it and find out for yourself, let us know!

I really like this book

This book read to me of the same style - a fable with an uplifting theme - as Paulo Coelho's _The Alchemist._ Also a great book!
It's been a few years since I read Deepak Chopra's son's book, but I really enjoyed the story/fable & its messages, and frequently refer it to friends. When I saw just one other review, and it's less commendable response, I needed to say, "I like this one!"

If you think that other books on this subject are too heavy and long - this is the book for you. Being around 130 pages, with big text - that's a first! This book is so much more then the exploring of a young boy, much more then morality and surviving in the sense of food and sleep. Set out in the poor persons every day life this book makes it simplistic and easy to grasp the real point with it. You get your own roots shaken a bit, your values re-set. At the end of this you have a sense of what real power is, what it truly means to be rich. Rich in the soul, not measured by money.

This story of a chid id poverty-stricken India was hard to keep reading. The lack of plot put me right to sleep. I got a few chapters in and couldn't finish it. Don't waste your money on this.
