Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine, Deepak Chopra, M.D., continues to transform our understanding of the meaning of health. Through his creation of The Chopra Center for Well Being in California in 1995, he established a formal vehicle for the expansion of his healing approach using the integration of the best of western medicine with natural healing traditions. Chopra is known as the prolific author of over 42 books and more than 100 audio, video, and CD titles, which have been translated into 35 languages with over 20 million copies sold worldwide. His book, Peace Is the Way (Harmony Books) won a Quill award, and The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life was given a Nautilus award. Through The Chopra Center, he’s revolutionizing common wisdom about the crucial connection between body, mind, spirit, and healing. His mission of “bridging the technological miracles of the west with the wisdom of the east” remains his primary focus as he and his colleagues conduct public seminars and workshops and provide training for health-care professionals around the world. Chopra is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
