The Deeper Wound: Recovering the Soul from Fear and Suffering, 100 Days of Healing
The author of How to Know God provides help for healing deep trauma—whenever it arises—so we may find peace in ourselves and in our world.
Terror came from the sky, and afterward the world would never be the same. September, 11, 2001, defined tragedy for a generation. On that day Deepak Chopra found himself driving from city to city, meeting thousands of people who begged for meaning and solace in the face of suffering. In response he has written The Deeper Wound , offering a way of healing as a memorial to the thousands of victims who perished.
The opening section, “In the Face of Tragedy,” defines suffering as the pain that threatens to make life meaningless. When our deepest needs go unfulfilled, suffering begins. We begin to heal when we go beyond personal anger and fear to a realization of our true self, the self that was never afraid and can never be wounded.
The true self contains the light that no darkness can attack. Having described a path of awareness and compassion that leads to the light, the second half of The Deeper Wound takes us there through “A Hundred Days of Healing,” daily affirmations, exercises, insights, lessons, and questions—each a step out of pain toward a higher reality. “We can become living memorials to tragedy by restoring the power of life,” writes Deepak Chopra. “You are that life, you are that power. Let us see if we can find the spark that will make the spiritual flame spring up.”
Healing yourself comes in two stages—first releasing the energy of suffering, then replacing it with the soul’s energy. It is a gentle and fragile path, very much like holding on to a thread as it leads you from step to step.
If you take the time to listen to the voice of silence, you will be astonished at the power you have at your command, however long that power has been overlooked.
A portion of the proceeds earned by the author and publisher from the sale of this book will be donated to the Red Cross to aid in humanitarian relief efforts around the world.

This whole book lacked planning!
The book started off talking about 9/11, trauma and healing but the whole incident was not stitched in well at all, therefore, it just came off as though the book had been written in one sitting and however thoughts had come to the author. The second half was the worst as it was a section of affirmations but they were very repetitive... blah blah blah soul, blah blah blah spirit, blah blah blah I, blah blah blah ego, blah blah blah prayer. (I had to use blah blah blah as I skim read some of these pages and I can't be sure what they actually said)
Chopra would probably be a nice guy to have a cup of tea with but his book really did him no favours.
1.5 stars and only because some of the 9/11 pages were interesting as well as about 3 of the affirmation pages.

The first half of this book explores our relationship to fear and suffering, especially around death and trauma, but the real value of it, to me, is in the second half, made up of 100 sequential affirmations and prayers that can be used as a roadmap to deeper understanding and greater peace.

The opening section, “In the Face of Tragedy,” defines pain and suffering. It is very interesting the section where he describes the symptoms in the anatomy of fear as well as some remedies for them. I liked the idea that people suffer from the inside out not the other way around and that negative thinking increases and sustains the source of evil within our body through the power of habit - nothing to do with bad karma or other superstition.
The second part of the book comprises 100 sutras or better say meditation passages that are very deep and give you new perspectives each time you read them. Some of them can be used as meditation and mindfulness techniques.

Nu e o carte „wow”, dar nici rea nu este. M-a adus cu picioarele pe pământ în momentele în care eram prea cu capul în nori și m-a ajutat să dizolv unele credințe vechi, adunate încă din copilărie. Oferă sfaturi care, dacă le pui în practică, chiar îți pot ușura viața. Pentru mine, a fost mai mult un reminder al unor lucruri pe care le știam deja din alte surse, dar pe care e bine să le auzi din nou.

I didn't actually read one passage a day as instructed (because I'm bad at routines), but I read a few every few days (often rereading at least one so the idea could sink in). I really tried to savor this book and practice its messages. It can be hard to focus on one aspect of the psyche, and even harder to carry the message with you all day when there are so many other messages being thrown at us each day.
It begins with the author's son's account of the events on 9/11, a huge tragedy that our whole nation can relate to. The nice thing about the passages themselves is how applicable they are to just about any circumstance involving pain and loss.
Most of the passages circle back to the existence of one's soul, so a reader needs to accept the possibility that the concept is real in order to enjoy this book.
As with many self-help books, you have to take the useful with the less-than-useful. I appreciated the straightforward approach to dealing with painful feelings, and I think this book helped me to process those feelings in a more neutral, less damaging way. However, the author adds some prayers toward the end that don't fit in so well with the rest of the book.

Chopra writes about the days following 9/11/01 and how people asked him to help them. He talks about how our
negative thoughts of fear, anger, sadness are illusions and by changing the thoughts, we change our own reality.
The body holds the negative energy of these emotions unless you talk about them. Other ways to release blocked energy in our bodies is with deep breathing, exercise, and meditation.
Deepak Chopra lists 100 affirmations. Use one each of them for 100 days.
I like reading and listening to Chopra as his manner exudes an air of calm. Also, his taking of wisdom from multiple religions is both interesting and hopeful.

June 3, 2010Written soon after 9/11, Chopra gets to the heart of the wound in all of us and shows us how to heal. My daughter, Sarah, gave me this book, and I am deeply appreciative to her. There are 100 days of affirmations in the back of the book.

This book has made me realize how little I knew of "the ego" and it's identity .Fantastic insight into your deeper self. I would recommend this book to anyone trying to understand themselves .

Go ahead and sneer because it is Deepak Chopra if you want to. But I found this book to be a great help in dealing with sadness and loss.

CHOPRA BEGINS WITH THE 9/11 ATTACKS, AND ENDS WITH AFFIRMATIONS
Author Deepak Chopra wrote in the Preface to this 2001 book, “On September 11, 2001… I was leaving New York on a jet flight that took off 45 minutes before the unthinkable happened. By the time we landed in Detroit, chaos had broken out… My wife and son were also in the air… one to Los Angeles, one to San Diego. My body went absolutely rigid with fear. All I could think about was their safety, and it took several hours before I found out that their flights had been diverted and both were safe… my body still felt as if it had been hit by a truck… it seemed to feel a far greater trauma that reached to the thousands who would not survive and the tens of thousands who would survive only to live through months and years of hell.
“And I asked myself, why didn’t I feel this way last week? Why didn’t my body go stiff when innocent people died through violence in other countries?... As we hear the calls or tightened American security and a fierce military response to terrorism, it is obvious that none of us has any answers. However, we feel compelled to ask some questions… what was the root cause of this evil?... Does this evil grow from the suffering and anguish felt by people we don’t know and therefore ignore? Have they lived in this condition for a long time?...
“When we have secured our safety once more and cared for the wounded… it will be time for soul-searching… None of us will feel safe again behind the shield of military might and stockpiled arsenals. There can be no safety until the root cause is faced… Although the idea for this book was born out of the tragic incident on September 11, 2001, the intent of this book evolved so that it has become a manual that can be used to heal the deeper wound no matter what the cause… It is my hope that as you create the state of spontaneous joy for yourself by reaching into the depths of your soul, you will also contribute to the restoration of harmony in the world. Because you are the world.” (Pg. 13-16)
He states, “Everyone suffers. In times of war or calamity or natural disasters, everyone suffers together. Yet no matter how far the dark ripple of pain might spread, suffering is always individual… Suffering can be defined as the pain that makes like seem meaningless.” (Pg. 31)
He explains, “There are simple, basic, remedies for dealing with shock. But numbness and tears lead to the second stage, in which powerful emotions rise to the surface, often after being buried for years of decades… The third stage of suffering comes when you feel that you must take action, either to heal or to strike out against the attacker of to lend a hand to other victims.” (Pg. 32-33)
He notes, “Our minds can’t accept random, meaningless pain… We need to find out the facts, certainly, yet they cannot make this catastrophe have any meaning. The same quandary haunts every victim of crime, disease, injustice, and loss. Why did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve it? If there is a God, how can He allow such suffering to exist? In the search for meaning, three large answers have emerged. You find them in every culture. THE FIRST ANSWER: Suffering is inevitable because it is part of life. THE SECOND ANSWER: Suffering is inevitable, the result of sin and wrongdoing. THE THIRD ANSWER: Suffering contains a hidden spiritual message. It exists until the message is heard… The third answer… is very different from the other two. It says that out of suffering can come love. Love is the hidden message within all fear and pain, no matter how horrible they make you feel.” (Pg. 59-62)
He observes, “What of religious fanaticism? Isn’t it evil? Yes, of course, but religion doesn’t teach evil. It gets called into the service of evil once the mind s made up… In a savage irony, terrorists always feel righteous in their actions. The same is true for all the great evildoers in the twentieth century, from Hitler to Pol Pot. The wrongdoer holds him- or herself up as the victim.. But if you plot revenge against an evildoer, you are harming yourself… because negative thinking reinforces the source of negativity.” (Pg. 81-82)
He says, “Inner healing involves moving from darkness to the light. ‘Light’ is a word that has different meanings yet is generally understood as love and understanding. Love nurtures the emotional body: understanding fills the voids created by pain.” (Pg. 99)
He then suggests 100 meditations/affirmations; e.g.: “My true need is to know myself as my souls know me.” (Pg. 107) “I will be open to the support that spirit is giving.” (Pg. 128) “As the observer, I feel no need to blame anyone.” (Pg. 136) “I will ask the dark energies to teach me.” (Pg. 146) “When I feel opposition, I will not oppose in return.” (Pg. 161) “I will break through the illusion of being abandoned.” (Pg. 181) “Evil is the absence of being.” (Pg. 196)
More about Chopra’s other book emphases than about 9/11, this book will appeal to his many readers.

Written in the aftermath of 9/11, the book helps the reader cope with and understand anger, loss, death and tragedy. Comprising two parts - a discussion of the 9/11 experience in light of Chopra's teachings, and a 100 day guided affirmation - the book is a quick read. I found it to be too much focus on the events of 9/11, and less on the broader view of healing and transition. It was an OK read, and one that may help when dealing with loss.
January 30, 2023
This certainly requires a certain point of healing to be able to absorb the words. I read it daily at first but the passages were resonating so much I decided to keep reading and finish it. I definitely know I will utilize this to guide me in meditations and reflections. Simple, practical, and impactful. Thank you Deepak Chopra, I can only imagine the healing it has done at the time of it’s release.

El libro empieza muy interesante hablando de los sucesos del 9/11 y con explicaciones basadas en la espiritualidad.
Los 100 reflexiones son variadas, pero a la misma vez muy repetidas. Es un buen libro para “novatos” en cuestiones de la Energía Universal, un buen inicio con explicaciones pues. También se puede leer como un recordatorio de todo lo básico ya aprendido.
Creo que depende mucho en que fase anda uno al leer el libro.

really refreshing to read a book about well-being that isn’t rooted in the individual, but rather recognises the wider collective and our duty of empathy to one another. totally woo woo in some places and i definitely don’t agree with this books ideas of good and evil and nothing in between, but i took a lot away from it so id say it was pretty good.
June 30, 2021
I think this book is solely for someone who has gone through a trauma otherwise you wouldn't be able to relate to it which is what happened in my case. Also even the writing was not attractive or catchy.

Después de los hechos del 11 de septiembre y el dolor que esto generó en el espíritu y en el alma de casi todo el mundo se escribe este libro para ayudar a manejar y superar el temor la ira la ansiedad y la culpa sin ejercicios para manejarlo diariamente es muy

Can come across being repetitious but the work is clear (after trauma) and the affirmations are reminders.
If you have read D. Chopra before than the repeating makes sense ( to help solidify the way, or the journey, of the healing). 3.5 stars ⭐️

A good quick read from the person who introduced me to meditations. I liked the messages in all the 100 pages. If you are into mindfulness and living in the present moment you might enjoy this a lot.

Lo que me facino de este libro fue la manera en que describe las situaciones en que el humano siente dolor, y lo que hace para no sientir ese dolor. Este libro lo encontre en una de mis visitas a la biblioteca. Estaba en busca de un libro sobre meditacion y me tope con este libro y piense que no tienia nada que ver con meditar pero estuve muy equivocada! este libro te da frases sobre las que puedes meditar y recitar. Es un buen guia para uno que apenas esta en las primaras etaps de meditacion.

I enjoyed the first half of the book with its mix of real-life anecdotes and observations about how to deal with pain and suffering. I found the second half repetitive and did not complete the hundred days of affirmations.

I absolutely loved the first half of the book! It was informative, well written and speaks to the deep parts of self. I also loved the book's title and the simplicity of the cover. I did however lose interest toward the middle of the book. Although I agree with Deepak on a lot of things, like the existence of the ego self and true self and the soul.. But I also believe that there is more to the soul then what we humans can perceive and I believe there is a bigger picture then the picture Deepak painting about the soul, humanity and afterlife. I believe in an afterlife and I find the thought of reincarnation a bit sad.. What about justice?? even if this world doesn't always provide a person with full justice, that's why there is an after life.
I also find prayer and having a personal relationship with the Creator through talking to him more affective and healing then affirmations.

Chopra wrote this book after the 9/11 terrorist attacks when so many people asked for help with their fears and suffering. He writes about how our negative thoughts of fear, anger, sadness are all illusions and that by changing our thoughts, we can change our reality. He uses the opening section, “In the Face of Tragedy” to define suffering as the pain that threatens to make life meaningless.
I love how he shares his wisdom of multiple religions to help anyone begin to take themselves beyond personal anger and fear to their true self. His writing explains that when our deepest needs go unfulfilled, suffering begins, then introduces enlightenment by saying the true self contains the light that no darkness can attack. He continues to explain that walking a path of awareness and compassion is what leads to the light.
Chopra encourages us all to take power by writing “You are that life, you are that power. Let us see if we can find the spark that will make the spiritual flame spring up.” Through daily affirmations, exercises, insights, lessons, and questions, he wrote this book to help people step out of pain toward their own higher reality.
