In 1999 I attended a five-day Deepak Chopra course in La Jolla, California. For the past decade Deepak Chopra M.D. has been at the forefront of a major trend in holistic healing. Since the early 1980s Chopra has successfully combined his impeccable credentials as a practising endocrinologist with his exploration of mind/body medicine. His writing has been published in 24 countries and he lectures widely in the USA, Europe, India, Japan and Russia. In 1999 Time magazine selected Dr. Chopra as one of the Top 100 Icons and Heroes of the Century
