A World of Wizards with Deepak Chopra, M.D.

Program Description

Fiction is the new playground of this bestselling nonfiction author, famed for his explanation of the unbounded possibilities in our lives. The Arthurian legend rises again in his novel, The Return of Merlin (Harmony 1995), which imaginatively explores timeless truths about intuition, good and evil, past, present and future, and how we ourselves are the creators of reality. “Mythology represents the truth,” says Chopra. “History is distortion.”

Acknowledged as one of the worlds most influential and important leaders in the field of mind/body medicine, Chopra is the author of more than twenty-five books. They include Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine (Bantam 1989), Perfect Health: The Complete Mind/Body Guide (Harmony Books 1990), Unconditional Life: Mastering the Forces that Shape Personal Reality (Bantam 1991), The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (Harmony 1994), Ageless Body, Timeless Mind (Harmony 1993), The Return of Merlin (Harmony 1995), The Path to Love: Renewing the Power of Spirit in Your Life (Harmony 1997), How to Know God: The Soul’s Journey Into the Mystery of Mysteries (Harmony 2000).
