Deepak Chopra On: Consciousness, Quantum Physics, Handling Criticism, And The Benefit Of Contemplating Your Own Death

A wide ranging interview with one the biggest and most controversial names in the self-help world. 

Deepak Chopra is the founder of the Chopra Foundation, a non-profit entity for research on well-being and humanitarianism, and Chopra Global, a modern-day health company at the intersection of science and spirituality. He is a best selling author, including numerous New York Times bestsellers.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Deepak’s definition of the quantum field

  • The concept of creative intelligence 

  • Breathing techniques, including vagal breathing and box breathing

  • The benefits of imagining your own death 

  • The exercise of returning to your zero point

  • The concept of the body as a verb

  • And the difference between the localized 'I' and the non-local 'I'
