Rate this book
Deepak Chopra, M.D., has researched, written, and lectured on a vast range of subjects--from Ayurvedic medicine to meditation, karma to creation, purpose to potential--all from the perspective of a physician, endocrinologist, and healer. He has been a pioneer in the field of mind body medicine and is the best-selling author of twenty books, including Ageless Body, Timeless Mind and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success .

In A Deepak Chopra Companion , Leon Nacson, a longtime friend and colleague of Dr. Chopra, presents an accessible survey of his works, from the most basic concepts of mind body medicine to the most rewarding paths of spiritual growth. Based on their dialogues over the years, A Deepak Chopra Companion answers the questions readers themselves would ask Dr. Chopra if they had the opportunity. For What am I doing here? Who am I? Why is meditation so important? And what is the connection between intention and desire?  The result is a book that covers all the fundamental points that lie at the heart of Dr. Chopra's views on healing and the exploration of human consciousness.
