Twenty-five years after its initial publication and nearly 800,000 copies sold later, a long-awaited second edition of Deepak Chopra’s revolutionary book on the scientific and spiritual connections between the mind and body-a classic work, thoroughly revised and updated with new research and scientific findings, for a whole new generation of readers.

Bringing together the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics with the insights of Ayruvedic theory, Dr. Deepak Chopra shows how the human body is controlled by a network of intelligence that can change the basic patterns that design our physiology–with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging itself. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr. Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.
