Deepak Chopra (Hindi: दीपक चोपड़ा; born October 22, 1946) is an Indian American public speaker, and writer on Ayurveda, spirituality and mind-body medicine. Chopra began his career as an endocrinologist and later shifted his focus to alternative medicine.[3] Chopra was a top assistant to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi before launching his own career[4] in the late 1980s by publishing self-help books on New Age spirituality and alternative medicine.
A friend of Michael Jackson for 20 years, Chopra came to widespread public attention in July 2009 when he criticized the “cult of drug-pushing doctors, with their co-dependent relationships with addicted celebrities,” saying he hoped Jackson’s death, attributed to an overdose of a prescription drug, would be a call to action.
Deepak Chopra has written over 50 self help books and believes that our minds have the power to heal or harm themselves. Some of his books with Amazon links are listed below:

See some of Deepak’s noted Quotes (Wisdom) below:
1) “The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.”
2) “The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.”
