Self-help books for success and happiness come regularly in the market. Some of these books are best sellers in the non-fiction category. The question is if such books do real help or these give you only reading pleasure. Most of these books use the same principles but are presented in different manners. Basically they aim at tapping the power of thought power. They provide the directions. They motivate you, inspire you and aim at changing your thinking from negative to positive. But ultimate goal depends upon your talent, ability and understanding. The seeds of positive thoughts gradually change your subconscious conditioning and they in turn, change your beliefs, expectations, attitudes and behaviour. When you change your behaviour, you change your performance and get better results. You also grow, learn and become wiser by reading books. And when you become wiser, you become happier. Books are one of the best friends and hobbies of human beings.
One such book, I have read, is the best seller the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Dr. Deepak Chopra. Out of the Seven Laws professed by Dr. Deepak Chopra, the 2nd Law is the Law of Giving. This is also called the Law of Giving and Receiving. It states that the universe operates through dynamic exchange. Nothing is static. On the question of relationship, it states that every relationship is one of give and take. Receiving is the same thing as giving because giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. But the intention behind your giving and receiving is most important. The intension should always be to create happiness for the giver and receiver; because happiness is life-supporting and life-sustaining. Therefore the act of giving has to be joyful. If you want joy, give joy to others, if you want love, learn to give love, if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation. Giving need not have to be in the form of material things. It could be a flower, a compliment, a prayer, caring, attention, affection, appreciation and love. These are some of the most precious gifts you can give and it will give happiness to both the giver and the taker.

In practice of this law, you make a commitment that whoever you encounter; you bring him or her a gift. The gift may be a compliment, a flower, a prayer, the gift of caring, affection, appreciation, and love. Each time you meet someone, you silently wish him or her happiness, joy and laughter. Practice Dr. Deepak Chopra’s Law of Giving by circulating joy and it will keep you immensely joyful. Cheers!

Good point, though sometimes it's hard to arrive to definite conclusions
