I read this book years and years ago. I presume this is the edition I read because there was no mention of Deepak being one of two authors.

I really enjoyed this book especially due to the fact that I agreed with probably everything Doctor Chopra said.

I also do not believe in putting my entire wellbeing in the hands of one person regardless of his or her qualifications. That can be very risky. Just because a person has a credential, it doesn't by any standard guarantee quality of care or competence. A doctor can be board certified, but all that often means is he knows how to take a test (based on my own personal experiences). Some of them have 2 or 3, and I find that frightening because it means their minds are wondering around among and between 2 or 3 different subspecialties, and they probably don't have time to be experts in all two or three.

I like the idea of a doctor-patient partnership.

Great book on ancient philosophy, science and rationale behind good health with holistic approach to physical, mental and emotional well being.

Similar to Art of Happiness, but with Hindu bent.
