Biography / Speaker Info
Deepak Chopra graduated in medicine in India and specialized in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology after immigrating to the United States, where he began a successful career in the Western medical field. His focus took a significant turn when he delved into transcendental meditation and Ayurvedic medicine practices, influenced by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Guru. This convergence of Western science and Eastern wisdom became the cornerstone of his prolific career and philosophy.
He has been an extraordinarily prolific author, with more than 90 books published and translated into more than 40 languages, many of which have been New York Times bestsellers. Among his most notable works are The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Ageless Bodies, Timeless Minds and Quantum Healing: The Frontiers of Mind-Body Medicine. Through his writings, Chopra disseminates his theories on the unlimited potential of consciousness and its ability to transform biology, longevity and emotional well-being.
Chopra is the founder and director of the Chopra Center for Wellness and the Mind-Body Medical Institute, both dedicated to promoting meditation, yoga and mindfulness practices in the West. His philosophy, which often relates consciousness to concepts of quantum physics, has resonated with millions of people, leading to the popularization of these wellness practices in contemporary lifestyles. However, his advocacy of alternative therapies and concepts has also generated constant debate and open criticism from the traditional scientific and medical community.
Despite the controversies, his cultural impact is undeniable. TIME magazine has ranked him as one of the "100 most influential heroes and icons of the century." As a global speaker, he uses his platform to challenge conventional beliefs about health, aging and happiness, inviting audiences to seek total wellness, which encompasses physical, emotional, spiritual and social balance. Her legacy lies in driving a global conversation about the mind-body connection and democratizing the tools of self-knowledge and personal transformation.
