Deepak Chopra, Bio.
|
Posted By: Alphonza Lashley on February 14, 2013 I'll be posting some articles on leadership, written by Dr Deepak Chopra, in the coming weeks. Here is a brief bio of Dr. Chopra. Gather your notebook and make your own memorable notes. The photo is of him speaking to the Microsoft PAC on January 15, 2011 Born October 22, 1947 (age 65) New Delhi, India Nationality American Occupation Alternative medicine practitioner, physician, public speaker, writer Spouse(s) Rita Chopra Children Mallika Chopra and Gotham Chopra Parents K. L. Chopra, Pushpa Chopra Deepak Chopra, born October 22, 1946, is an Indian-born American physician, a holistic health/New Age guru, and perhaps the wealthiest and most famous of America's alternative medicine practitioners. Chopra has taught at the medical schools of Tufts University, Boston University and Harvard University. He became Chief of Staff at the New England Memorial Hospital (NEMH) in Massachusetts, before establishing a private practice. In 1985, Chopra met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who invited him to study Ayurveda. Chopra left his position at the NEMH and became the founding president of the American Association of Ayurvedic Medicine, and was later named medical director of the Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center. In 1996, Chopra and neurologist David Simon founded the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, which incorporated Ayurveda in its regimen. The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the American Medical Association have granted continuing medical education credits for some programs offered to physicians at the Chopra Center. In 2009, Chopra established the Chopra Foundation to advance the cause of mind/body spiritual healing, education, and research through fundraising for selected projects. Chopra has written more than 70 books, including 21 New York Times bestsellers. His books have been translated into 35 languages and sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Chopra has received many awards, including the Oceana Award (2009), the Cinequest Life of a Maverick Award (2010), Humanitarian Starlite Award (2010), and the GOI Peace Award (2010). Chopra is a controversial figure. According to a 2008 article in Time magazine, he is "a magnet for criticism", primarily from those involved in science and medicine. His critics accuse him of creating a false sense of hope in sick individuals which may keep them away from effective medical care.
