Perfect Health: The Complete Mind/Body Guide

Perfect Health: The Complete Mind/Body Guide by Deepak Chopra is an inspiring book that shows how our mind, body, and emotions are all connected. I really liked how Chopra explains the Ayurvedic doshas in a clear and practical way, it helped me understand my own habits and how they affect my energy, mood, and overall health. The book made me more mindful about creating balance in my daily life.

Some parts felt a bit too spiritual or abstract, and I wish there were more scientific examples to support his ideas. Still, the message about finding harmony within yourself really stayed with me, and it encouraged me to make small but meaningful changes.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore a more holistic approach to show more health. It’s a calming, thoughtful read that makes you reflect on how to take better care of both your body and mind. show less

Although we experience our bodies as solid, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, for instance. Our skin is new every five weeks. Each year, fully 98 percent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced. Ayurveda gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day. Ayurveda tells us that freedom from sickness depends on contacting our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body.

"Perfect Health" provides a complete step-by-step program of mind body medicine tailored to individual needs. A quiz identifies the reader's mind body type: thin, restless Vata; show more enterprising, efficient Pitta; tranquil, steady Kapha; or any combination of these three. This body type becomes the basis for a specific Ayurvedic program of diet, stress reduction, neuromuscular integration, exercise, and daily routines. The result is a total plan, tailor-made for each individual, to reestablish the body's essential balance with nature; to strengthen the mind body connection; and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging--in short, for achieving Perfect Health. show less

This book has changed my life, I really mean it. I first came across it many years ago at a library sale in Midwest. I cherish it and consult it on and off all the time. There is such a wealth of information in this book on how to live a healthy life, according to ancient Indian science of Ayurveda which helps you to understand your own body type and how to treat it with optimum results for better living.

This book is really great and I refer to it frequently. I have been practicing "perfect health" since March and I have never felt better!
