"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."
Deepak never lets me down!

"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."

"Deepak has a world wide reputation which is more than justified. That said this current offering is high on promise and unfortunately low on the delivery of value in the form of 'how to' information and spiritual development techniques. As with so much of contemporary quantum theory literature today this collection weaves an interesting story but that is all. Of course we can all robustly influence or own futures through our intentions... but Deepak come on... how about a few techniques. The Essential DVD Collection?... perhaps not."

"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!"

"I found this collection as expected. Deepak Chopra as always is very deep in thoughts and therefore very inspirational. I cannot wait for his next release."
