Chopra offers many profound insights here about the body's relation to the mind. He identifies the three main personality groups and the reader is instructed to choose which one best describes him/her. From there, he tells what kind of food, music, activities, etc the person may be drawn to. Most of these are accurate observations and, while everyone may not agree with all of his suggestions, there are many things here you can do to reach your optimum health and potential.

Among my favorite parts are:
1) The kinds of foods that satisfy cravings. The different personalities require different things to satisfy their hunger cravings. Some may require bitter foods while others need sweet foods or pickles. This can help cut back on overeating and help you lose weight.

2) Wait five minutes after you eat before you go back for more. This helps the food settle and also cuts back on overeating.

3) Dealing with emotions. Anger and rage can effect your health. He gives exercises in which you can identify the feelings and make them go away.

There are several more subjects he covers. Some are a little out there. For instance, he suggests food has a better effect on the body if you eat in complete silence and think about nothing but you eat while you are doing so. Good luck with that if you eat in restaurants or with friends or family... Overall, he makes many good points. Some things I knew all along but never put conscious thought to, which proves his point that the body and the mind are connected and the body thinks and feels just as much as the mind. He also narrates the audiobook himself. I don't usually read self help books, but this one was worth the time and money. I'll definitely read more of his work.

This audio book is a must hearing for everyone who seeks health.

But it's missing the written manual. and in the audio he is always referring to it!!

Why?

Deepak Chopra's Classic, "Magical Mind, Magical Body," can assist you in fine-tuning how it is that you think, the "spirit within," which takes expressive form through either positive expression and action, or negative expression and reaction. Dr. Chopra assists one to see with the inner eye, how to simply change how it is that one thinks about how it is that one will see what is better for one's individual being. When one changes ones perspective, one's mind, body, and environment "magically," change. Dr. Chopra presents one of the greatest and oldest metaphysical secrets about how it is that one can truly, personally, embrace the magic of changing what one eats to change one's body. One can change one's values to embrace a higher standard of being and one's life, body and environment "magically," change through this type of subtle transformative "personal magic within." Our individual constitution can be magically changed by choosing to simply think differently about every aspect of our lives, that is what Dr. Chopra shows through his steps for personal, magical transformation.

This is a must have in the collection for antone who is on the continuous journey of self growth.

I believe it is a wonderfull knowledge that one should be thought from time of childhood.
Great feeling to hear Deepak Chopra talking and making you understand the laws of this univese and our world. A must to listen! A must to have!

I have the cassette tape version, and like it better in some ways. This version has the music intros and outtros deleted and sometimes, some of Deepak's words are deleted or difficult to catch in the beginnings.

This information should be introduced in middle school and continued through college. The message implies that we are creatures of perception and the way we perceive the world becomes our sense of reality. In other words, what you percdeive, is what you are.
