5.0 out of 5 stars Who is Dr. Chopra?, June 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Deepak Chopra-The Essential DVD Collection (DVD)

Deepak Chopra is a Harvard trained MD and Former Chief of Staff at Boston Regional Medical Center. Dr. Chopra built a successful endocrinology practice in Boston in the 1980's. His teaching affiliations include Tufts University and Boston University Schools of Medicine. In 1992, he served on the National Institute of Health's Ad Hoc Panel on Alternative Medicine. He advocates transcendental meditation and includes ancient ayurvedic healing methods in his material. I found his books and tapes hard to grasp at first, but on closer listening, I 'got it.' Here health meets spirituality in a thoroughly scientific and sensible context for the purpose of healing. If you don't 'get it' the first time, slow down and try again. Make the effort.

Update: I have read several of Chopra's books and listened to many of his tapes. The value for me has been in learning to relax and in gaining a new perspective on the notion of 'spirituality' in a modern context. Chopra's material is not to be written off as afternoon TV 'pop psychology;' you are NOT going to find out what to do if your man/woman cheats on you! He weaves together such notions as God, health, and meditation with the principles of quantum physics in a convincing and fascinating way. Wonderful material for those who are receptive - and utterly wasted on cynics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deepak never lets me down!, January 7, 2002

This review is from: Deepak Chopra-The Essential DVD Collection (DVD)

I've purchased so many programs from Nightingale Conant of Deepak Chopra's Audio tapes. The Higher Self, Magical Mind Magical Body, etc. Like the title of this commentary mentions, he never lets me down. He always forces you to think differently on what we call reality. I listen to his programs several times over and each time I pick up something new.

This review is from: Deepak Chopra-The Essential DVD Collection (DVD)

It is essential to understand self awareness to gain inner peace. I have not heard anyone speak so knowledgably as I listen to him speak. I have grown faster in the last year by listening to him than I have in the last 44 years. Highly recommend!
