This book is one of my favorites. It inspired me to return to school at my late age. It has inspired to realize the responsibility I have to continue learning, responding, and being. This book awakened me to a new level of seeing. There are many people who do not want older people to remain active. It is an amazing thing to realize that no matter the age you are there will always be others who hold your age against you. Chopra brings the fact is you are who you are and never let anyone control you through their opinions of you.
Chopra, a proponent of the Indian Maharishi Ayurveda system of healing, has written a book that combines philosophy, biology, and modern health research in an attempt to convince the reader that the effects of aging are largely preventable. Since the practical suggestions are mixed in with theory, case studies, and rather complicated biological data, the book sometimes rambles and seems disorganized. Several of the recommendations about diet and exercise contradict each other.
This is an exceptional book, at least for me. I read this book around ten years ago and the book made great impression on me. Once I started the book, I could not leave it before I finished. The connection between science and spirituality, body and mind has never been written better. I still use many of the principles in my articles and books.
Deepak describe muchos aspectos del ser humano que difícilmente pensamos de manera cotidiana y al relacionarlo con el tiempo, la salud, el pensamiento e incluso la ciencia y el origen de la vida nos permite aspirar a un mejor camino mental y físico en este nuestro paso por el Universo.
Interesting. Deepak pulls together a lot of information (medical, holistic, psychological, etc.) regarding the lengthily of life all dressed with in spiritual descriptions. I didn't learn much more then I already knew and didn't feel the book was that compelling. I really enjoyed listening to a lecture he gave but was a bit disappointed with what was delivered in this work as I guess I just expected a bit more.
i like deepak. heavy stuff most of his writing. i guess some people get it easier than i.
Another tremendously helpful book from my health guru.
