Pergunte a Deepak Chopra sobre amor e relacionamentos
Deepak Chopra é autor de mais de 25 livros de auto-ajuda, traduzidos em 35 línguas, tais como "Pergunte a Deepak Chopra Sobre Amor E Relacionamentos", "A Cura Quântica", "As Sete Leis Espirituais do Sucesso", "Criando Saúde", incluindo cinco programas para a televisão pública dos EUA e proponente de outras ideias místicas. Sua proposta de auto-ajuda é centrada na afirmação "se compreendermos a nossa verdadeira natureza e soubermos viver em harmonia com as leis naturais, a sensação de bem-estar, de entusiasmo pela vida e a abundância material surgirão facilmente".
Várias de suas visões são polêmicas, havendo alguns críticos ao longo dos anos relegado o seu trabalho como pseudociência. Entretanto o próprio Chopra aparece em debates e entrevistas televisivas onde defende suas ideias e explica que a maioria dos termos usados em seus livros são metáforas para ajudar na compreensão dos textos.
Chopra defende que a ciência e a medicina deveriam tratar certos problemas - tais como doenças, em uma abordagem mais holística ao invés de adotarem uma visão puramente reducionista, onde o foco é maior nos tratamentos pontuais dos sintomas e no estudo isolado dos agentes etiológicos causadores das enfermidades, ao passo que o histórico de vida, as emoções e o estado psicológico do paciente no geral são geralmente considerados como fatores menos influentes nas causas da doença.

I am sure this was probably the worst Deepak Chopra book I could have chosen as my first read of this author. It was one that I received free, however, so I can't say as I would have sought out his work otherwise. Regardless, there I was. I read it, and was very happy when it was over.
This book is mostly just a Q&A session with Chopra. There are countless questions posed that cover most any relationship issue one might run into from "How do I find a partner?" to "What do I do if my partner won't have sex with me?" While it is certain that the author has some great advice, I just didn't get into the book overall. It kept nagging me that these folks were writing to someone they likely had never meant looking for advice and validation so they could move forward in some way. I don't feel very comfortable with that.

Good insights on a variety of topics. I was not completely sold on some of the metaphysical aspects. However, I was happy to see that most of the answers encouraged a shift away from the ego...letting go of the desire to take everything personally and connect one's identity to a situation or another person. I also respected the fact that sometimes the author simply answered "I don't know" instead of presuming to have the answer to everything.

Listened to this book: 7/8 crap; however, it did show that there are way more f-ed up people out there than me.
