Deepak Chopra

This book required the support of people who have become like an extended family, one that is always helpful, cordial, and never ghts at Thanksgiving. At the Chopra Center my life is handled by Carolyn, Felicia, and Tori far better than I could handle it on my own. The same care is given to my writing by Julia Pastore, Tina Constable, and Tara Gilbride. My loving thanks go to all of you, and to my family at home, constant as ever. It took more than two decades for me to consider working with a collaborator, and now that this phase has begun, let me acknowledge that Rudy has been the best of collaborators, an eye-opening example of an accomplished scientist who has a spiritual vision of life’s possibilities.

My contributions to this book would not have been possible without the endless support, advice, and inspiration of my loving wife, Dora, and the love of our beautiful daughter, Lyla. Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to have my family always emphasize the importance of love and maintaining balance in one’s mental and spiritual development. Thanks also to Julia Pastore, Tina Constable, and Tara Gilbride for sharing our passion and vision in making this book possible. And, nally, I would like to thank Deepak for being the perfect collaborator and for becoming a dear friend and brother while writing this book together. Deepak’s unique and wonderful outlook on the spiritual and scienti c sides of the world, along with his impeccable ability to express it, has made writing this book a true joy.
