Antes de ganar notoriedad por promover la salud holística y la espiritualidad, Deepak Chopra adhería a la medicina occidental en su condición de endocrinólogo en Boston. Pero en determinado momento se cuestionó este enfoque y retornó al antiguo sistema indio del Ayurveda para encontrar un equilibrio entre fe y ciencia."Quería enriquecer mi concepto de curación", dijo Chopra en una reciente entrevista. "Si uno no comprende la experiencia espiritual, nunca comprenderá la curación".Ahora, a los 61 años, el médico y autor de éxito espera seguir desafiando las convenciones _ahora de manera más controversial_ con su libro "El tercer Jesús: el Cristo que no podemos ignorar" (The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore, Harmony Books). Chopra cuestiona la doctrina cristiana a la ve
He gets off to a good start, at any rate. In his most recent contribution to the "On Faith" page of the Washington Post (free registration required), Deepak Chopra says that "in almost every respect the hunt for the real Jesus is misguided." Especially as it concerns the search for the "historical Jesus," which Dr. Chopra rightly characterizes as having been "a growth industry and obsession for several decades now," the diagnosis of misguidedness is entirely correct. Take a good hard look at the conclusions of the Jesus Seminar and you will be forced to agree with Luke Timothy Johnson: Once you've succeeded in finding the "historical Jesus," exactly what have you got? An object of intellectually respectable scholarly interest? Hardly. An object of faith? Absolutely not. No one believes i

For all science fans out there who have not heard about the Ig Nobel prizes yet, I hereby order you to go and buy the book: The Ig Nobel Prizes: The Annals of Improbable Research! The Ig Nobel prizes are dealt out annually at Harvard University, for indisputably ingenious research. Forget stem cells and neutrinos, and instead read about how pigeons have been trained to discriminate between paintings by Picasso and Monet, how scientist have created a computer program that detects when your cat walks on your keyboard, the optimal way of dunking your biscuit, or about solid evidence for the already well known fact that if you drop your sandwich it will fall with the butter side down! One man who has been honored with an Ig Nobel Prize is my great idol, Deepak Chopra. The official statement said the following: "Deepak Chopra of the Chopra center for well being, La Jolla, California, for his unique interpretation of quantum physics as it applies to life, liberty, and the pursuit of economic
By Deepak Chopra - Peace Through the Back DoorExcerpt:"There is no viable peace movement presently, thanks to a thirty-year rise of military-industrial interests. America sells more arms around the world than any other country. We are in the forefront of inventing new means of mechanized death, including futuristic robot armies."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deepak-chopra/peace-through-the-back-do_b_49150.htmlAlex
The Washington Post went to the NY ComicCon, and found there filmmaker Deepak Chopra, who wants to make some made-for-movie superheroes, but who also had this to say:Chopra is outside a Coffee Bean in Santa Monica, Calif., where he's drinking a cup of coffee containing two scoops of white chocolate powder. ("It's my own concoction," he says.) He sounds like a guy living the sweet life. He's just come from a two-hour workout, which included weight training and yoga, and he's taking the rest of the day off.As he tells it, he isn't in this comics thing just to make a few bucks off a major motion picture. No, he's thinking way bigger than that. He believes comic books can bridge cultural gaps, including the yawning maw that stands between the United States and its enemies."Kids all over the world are reading comic books," he says, "and if we could create a transcultural hero that appeals to kids in countries like Iran and Syria, that could have a huge impact. We've even made a propo
