Acknowledged as one of the world's greatest leaders in the field of mind body medicine, Deepak Chopra, M.D. continues to transform our understanding of the meaning of health. Through his creation of The Chopra Center For Well Being in La Jolla*, California in 1995, Chopra established a formal vehicle for the expansion of his healing approach using the integration of the best of western medicine with natural healing traditions. Chopra's work is changing the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness. Formerly the Chief of Staff at Boston Regional Medical Center, Dr. Chopra built a successful endocrinology practice in Boston in the 1980's. Chopra realized in his medical practice that there was potential in western medicine for the establishment of a new life-giving paradigm, one that encompassed the fundamental principle that perfect health is more than just the absence of disease. He began to envision a medical system based upon the premise that health is a lively state of balance and integration of body, mind and spirit. Chopra is known worldwide for his published works. The author of more than 27 books and more than 100 audio, video and CD-ROM titles, he has been published on every continent, and in dozens of languages. Over ten million copies of Deepak's books have been sold in English alone, and his best-sellers include Grow Younger, Live Longer; How to Know God: The Soul's Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries, Perfect Health; Ageless Body, Timeless Mind; The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and The Path to Love. Deepak Chopra's popularity as an international presenter and keynote speaker is exemplified in an impressive list of honorariums. As the keynote speaker, he appeared at the inauguration of the State of the World Forum, hosted by Mikhail Gorbachev and the Peace and Human Progress Foundation, founded by the former president of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace prizewinner Oscar Arias. Esquire Magazine designated him as one of the top ten motivational speakers in the country. Chopra believes that primary to all self development programs is the process of self- knowledge. The rediscovery of who we really are opens the door to an infinite world of better health, more satisfying relationships, greater success and creativity, unbounded happiness and ultimately enlightenment. He believes the most powerful tool for spiritual transformation is meditation. Just a few minutes every day allows us to experience wholeness in our lives and unlocks a realm of infinite possibilities "The poet-prophet of alternative medicine." "Deepak Chopra is undoubtedly one of the most lucid and inspired
philosophers of our time."
