— -- What if you could create a multi-million dollar empire simply by using the power of your mind?

In an interview with ABC’s chief business and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis, Chopra said he didn’t try to create his business, “The business got built. It’s the 'Law of Least Effort'.”

“There are some people who think that I only hang out with people like that. That’s less than point zero one percent of the people that I deal with, but it gets all the attention,” explained Chopra.

Chopra explains everyone has the power to achieve success in relationships as well as with wealth, success “when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.”

To Practice 'The Law of Least Effort' follow these three steps:

Step 1: “Practice Acceptance, meaning accept people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur. Know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be.”

Step 2: “Take Responsibility for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for my situation.”

Step 3: “Defenselessness, I will feel no need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I will remain open,” writes Chopra.

Whether you believe mindfulness can help you create success or not, more and more scientific studies are pointing to the benefits of meditation to reduce stress.

And while years ago if someone mentioned meditation there's a good chance you'd instantly envision a monk "ommm-ing" or someone in a cave filled with crystals, today more than 40 percent of Americans say they use this mind quieting practice as a natural way to improve health and reduce stress, according to a study by Harvard School of Public Health/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (HSPH/RWJF).

Even major American corporations, such as Google and Target are offering meditation classes to their employees.
