Dubbed "the poet-prophet of alternative medication" in the pages of Time, Deepak Chopra domed to outside fame at the van of the self-help publishing detonation, later expanding his multimedia system imperium to include a serial publication of new age-themed albums recorded in quislingism with musicians including Eurythmics' Dave Stewart. Born in New Delhi in 1947, Chopra was the son of preeminent Indian cardiologist Krishran Chopra. He of necessity followed his father's footsteps and graduated from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1968. Upon relocating to the U.S. iI old age by and by, Chopra interned at a New Jersey hospital before chronic his studies at Burlington, MA's Lahey Clinic and the University of Virginia Hospital. A board-certified practitioner of interior medicine and endocrinology, Chopra taught at Tufts University and Boston University Schools of Medicine earlier he was appointed foreman of staff at the New England Memorial Hospital. He too established his have private endocrinology praxis, just following a return trip to New Delhi he found himself more and more at odds with the guiding principles of Western medicine, embracement rather the image that good wellness represents more than the mere absence of physical disease. In 1985, subsequently coming together transcendental meditation founder and guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Chopra resigned his NEMH position to focusing on holistic medication, casting his set with Ayurveda, an ancient Indian organisation of natural healing, and foundation the Massachusetts-based American Association of Ayurvedic Medicine.In 1989, Chopra published his number one record, Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine, combining elements of Hinduism and Western science to posit the body as a "web of intelligence operation" that can fight off disease and senescence via meditation and clean living founded the American Association of Ayurvedic Medicine. After ripping with the transcendental meditation sect in 1993 amid allegations the Maharishi was attempting to control his writing and public speaking engagements, Chopra published his breakthrough campaign, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old, merchandising more than C,000 copies the day after his appearance on television's Oprah Winfrey Show. More than a dozen like-minded self-help bestsellers followed, among them The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and The Path to Love: Spiritual Strategies for Healing. In 1995 Chopra founded the California-based Chopra Center for Well Being, fundamentally abandoning all guise of clinical practice by declining to even lend oneself for a state medical licence. Despite pointed criticisms of his beliefs and practices -- as good as the hypocrisy of admonishing physicalism while living in a multi-million-dollar mansion house and driving a Jaguar -- Chopra remained an immensely pop digit, and after releasing a series of lucrative audiobooks, in 1998 he issued the album A Gift of Love, recruiting celebrity pals like Madonna and Goldie Hawn to read classical Indian poetry over Middle Eastern-inspired support tracks. Three years later Chopra teamed with longtime protagonist Dave Stewart for Grow Younger, Live Longer.
