In 1985, Deepak Chopra left a successful and highly regarded position as chief of staff at the New England Memorial Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts, in order to dedicate his life to expanding the impact and effectiveness of conventional medicine. Today, he is nationally recognized in the holistic health field for popularizing Ayurveda, India's ancient system of natural healing and one of the fastest forms of alternative treatment in America. Through his extensive research and teachings (he has taught at Tuffs and Boston University Medical Schools) Dr. Chopra has discovered practical and achievable skills that enable people to take control of their lives, remain more robust and youthful as they age, and access the body's unlimited natural pharmacy — the keys to perfect health and total well-being.
