Deepak Chopra has been described by Time Magazine as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.” For the last thirty years, he has been at the forefront of the meditation revolution. He is a clinical professor of family medicine and
public health at the university of California, San Diego, and serves as a senior scientist with the gallup organization.  His 92nd book is called ABUNDANCE: THE INNER PATH TO WEALTH. He created the popular Chopra Meditation and Well-being app (which is now available universally on iPhone and Android). The amazing work his Chopra Foundation is doing to combat mental health and suicide via a global campaign called NeverAlone.
