Chopra, Deepak Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old
New York Harmony 15-Jun-93 517592576 N Hardcover
From Publishers Weekly&newline;Chopra ( Quantum Healing ) is one of our perennial gurus, appealing to millions but offering them a suspect brew of panacea and escapism. The message of his new book? &doublequote;We are not victims of aging, sickness, and death. These are part of the scenery, not of the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.&doublequote; The basis for his belief, Chopra argues, is quantum physics and the work of such scientists as Heisenberg, Bohr and Einstein, with whose help Chopra proposes to tell us how to stave off the inevitable changes brought on by mortality and the passing of years. He advises us on how to &doublequote;defeat entropy,&doublequote; to &doublequote;believe&doublequote; enough to offer palpable resistance to processes of physical alteration, and to &doublequote;reinterpret your body&doublequote; such that renewal will come of it. He himself believes in &doublequote;a land where no one is old,&doublequote; and where &doublequote;we create our bodies as we create the experience of our world.&doublequote; He is also a proponent of &doublequote;the science of longevity,&doublequote; and cites research by doctors (sometimes nameless) to back himself up when expounding upon it. But alert readers will finish the book with unsettling questions, the result of a book that is rife with inspirational conviction but at times thin on substance. 150,000 first printing; major ad/promo; author tour; BOMC and QPB selection. &newline;Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;From Library Journal&newline;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. Followers of Chopra will demand this book. For libraries that have the author's previous books ( Perfect Health , LJ 6/1/90) and large alternative medicine collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 3/1/93.&newline;- Natalie Kupferberg, Montana State Univ. Lib., Bozeman&newline;Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Chopra, Deepak Soulmate
New York Putnam Adult 6-Sep-01 399147985 N Hardcover
From Publishers Weekly&newline;Mind-body healing guru Chopra takes another swing at fiction, although earlier efforts, including 1995's The Return of Merlin, never matched the huge success of his nonfiction titles like The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Appropriately, his latest tale tries to dramatize the way every soul must live through countless lifetimes, repeating particular experiences and lessons until it lets love, truth and bliss flow freely. Rajah is a young Indian-American intern in a psychiatric ward at a busy contemporary New York City hospital. Although he is engaged to Maya, who's Indian, educated and lovely, Raja falls madly for beautiful red-haired actress Molly, who seems to him to be a soul mate and a teacher, with her uncanny intuition and healing powers. The affair is at a fever pitch when Molly drops dead. Lucky for Raj, his lover returns, not as a ghost but as a huggably attractive soul who pops up to spoon-feed him just the right advice to heal psychiatric patients who have resisted every other method. Putting aside his cold Western medical training, Raja learns to heal with touch and love, counseled by Molly that &doublequote;the soul wants to be seen.&doublequote; Predictably, Raja is put on leave by the hospital. He doesn't mind, however, that the incredibly tolerant Maya agrees to learn to be his soul mate in spite of his love for the invisible Molly. &doublequote;You won't have me until you see through Raj,&doublequote; he counsels. &doublequote;I won't have you until I see through Maya.&doublequote; Unfortunately, many readers will see through this wish-fullfilling fantasy and realize that it offers few of the pleasures of accomplished fiction. (Sept.) Forecast: Despite Chopra's high profile, and despite the proven appeal of similar otherworldly guidance novels like James Redfield's The Celestine Prophecy, this cerebral fable's lack of drama and excitement and the staleness of its message make it doubtful that it will click with a lot of readers.&newline;&newline;Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. &newline;&newline;From Booklist&newline;This is Chopra's second foray into fiction, following the forgettable Return of Merlin (1995). Although packed with lots of Chopra-type alternative spirituality, this somewhat awkward romance also lacks the appeal of the author's nonfiction. Raj Rabban is a young intern working in a psychiatric ward at a New York City hospital. He is happily engaged to Maya, a beautiful, selfless Indian woman, but suddenly falls madly and inexplicably in love with Molly, a beautiful young actress he meets on the subway. Unfortunately, Molly, a somewhat spooky person who comes complete with intuitive and healing powers, dies suddenly of an unexplained ailment. She isn't gone forever, though, because her soul-ghost returns to comfort Raj and provide him with the wisdom and teaching he needs not only to become a great and wise doctor but also to achieve absolute freedom and spiritual bliss. Chopra has written more than 26 best-selling books and has significant name recognition, both of which will generate demand. Kathleen Hughes&newline;Copyright © American Library Association.
