Praise for METAHUMAN

“In his brilliant new book, Deepak Chopra successfully argues that consciousness is the sole creator of self, mind, brain, body, and the universe, as we know it. Deepak then teaches us that truly grasping this revolutionary idea will effectively remove the limiting belief systems and negativity that may be holding us back from achieving our maximum human potential. Highly recommended!”

—DR. RUDOLPH E. TANZI, Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School; and bestselling coauthor of The Healing Self, Super Brain, and Super Genes

“Metahuman is a brilliant vision of human potential and how we can move beyond the limitations, concepts, and stories created by the mind. If we wake up and drop our usual habits of considering ourselves as finite, localized beings, the potential exists in each one of us to be one with our very true nature, or quoting Huxley, to be one with the Mind at Large.”

—DR. MENAS C. KAFATOS, New York Times bestselling author and Fletcher Jones Endowed Professor of Computational Physics, Chapman University

“Deepak Chopra’s wonderful book Metahuman points the way for all of us to realize our full potential by showing us how to shed the constraints that hold us back from a life filled with love and self-worth. I applaud how he roots his recommendations in the latest research. As always, Dr. Chopra has written a book filled with insight, an indispensable aid for anyone striving to have a happy and fulfilled existence.”

—LEONARD MLODINOW, bestselling author of Elastic: Unlocking Your Brain’s Ability to Embrace Change

“This book distills decades of personal practice and breadth of study, and boils it all down to this: we are more than we think, more even than the universe itself, because the universe is only one expression of the fundamental, grounding, metahuman source that emanates, nurtures, and transcends us all. The book reads as though an old, wise friend, away traveling for years, collecting adventures and stories, comes home.”

—NEIL THEISE, M.D., Professor of Pathology, New York University School of Medicine

“Metahuman is a powerful wake-up call! Brilliantly merging scientific and holistic insights, Deepak Chopra allows us to go beyond illusory mental constructs to witness reality without limits. Only then can we reach our full potential!”

—DR. LARS BUTTLER, cofounder and CEO of the Artificial Intelligence Foundation

“Deepak Chopra reveals a fresh way of approaching special states of consciousness and gives us new insights into ancient ideas in the contemplative traditions. Highly recommended.”

—BERNARD J. BAARS, PH.D., former Senior Fellow in Theoretical Neurobiology, the Neurosciences Institute, San Diego, California

“In Metahuman, Deepak Chopra exposes us to a new and exciting reality, where we are all infinitely free to create the lives we yearn for. There is no better guide to lead us to this phenomenal way of being.”

—BRUCE VAUGHN, CEO, Dreamscape Immersive; and former Chief Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering

“For over thirty years, Deepak Chopra has been educating us on the extraordinary potential of the human being, focusing initially on our capacity for exceptional physical and mental health, and then for spiritual wellbeing. Metahuman takes us beyond health and wellbeing—and all such concepts of the mind—to a life based on our very own nature and that of the universe: existence itself.”

—PAUL J. MILLS, PH.D., Professor and Chief, Family Medicine and Public Health; Director, Center of Excellence for Research and Training in Integrative Health, University of California, San Diego

“Reading Metahuman is not just about waking up, it is to wake up. It is the GPS for realizing your full potential. You need it, I need it, and we all need it if we are to live on this planet without destroying it and ourselves. The key is in us—it is us. And Deepak Chopra tells us how to reach it.”

—ERVIN LASZLO, author of Science and the Akashic Field and Reconnecting to the Source

“Deepak Chopra and I have had our differences on a few scientific issues, but the one thing that I’ve always admired about him is how he applies the methods and findings of science to social progress, especially to help people improve their lives. We all want to lead happy and meaningful lives, but how? Metahuman is Deepak’s answer to this deepest of all personal questions. I learned something new in every chapter toward this important end. You will be enlightened by the research and wisdom he brings together.”

—MICHAEL SHERMER, publisher of Skeptic magazine; Presidential Fellow, Chapman University; and author of Heavens on Earth

“In public health, we look for ways to make the healthy choice the easy choice. Metahuman does this by mapping a direct path to a state of focused awareness and to self-regulation mechanisms, based on growing evidence from mindfulness research at Brown. This has the power to help those suffering from stress lower their blood pressure as well as reduce their risk for anxiety, depression—even loneliness.”

—BESS H. MARCUS, PH.D., Dean, Brown University School of Public Health

“Drawing upon examples ranging from medical science to parable, Deepak Chopra illustrates how, like virtual reality technologies, the human mind paints a layer of imagination atop of the physical world.”

—D. FOX HARRELL, PH.D., Professor, Digital Media and Artificial Intelligence; and Director, MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“Reflecting on neuroscience, physics, cosmology, and anthropology—everything from the molecular-level sensitivity of our senses to an octopus’s emotions—Deepak Chopra explains how the world of our experience is an inner construct and not the thing in itself. In so doing, he offers a path through modern life, guiding us to put suffering in perspective and perhaps gain some control over it.”

—GEORGE MUSSER, author of Spooky Action at a Distance and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to String Theory

“It takes courage to bridge the gap between hard-core ‘western’ science and eastern esoteric quasi-mystical traditions. There is no one better equipped to construct such a bridge than the erudite Deepak Chopra, who transmits the ‘wisdom of the east’ to his audience. The result is this highly readable book that will stimulate readers’ curiosity about human existence and the nature of reality.”

—V. S. RAMACHANDRAN, Professor of Neuroscience, University of California, San Diego

“This book contains the quintessence of Deepak Chopra’s teachings. Everything comes forth from a conscious source; our own consciousness can link us back to it, if only we cease to separate ourselves from it. Chopra’s argument is fluent, scientifically well-informed, and persuasive, as well as eminently practical, with detailed instructions. How refreshing!”

—RUPERT SHELDRAKE, PH.D., biologist and author of Ways to Go Beyond and Why They Work

“Metahuman is a reflective deconstruction of the everyday experience of reality, away from the physical and toward the mental and metaphysical. Here Deepak Chopra aptly explores the evolution of consciousness and charts a path for humans to become liberated and limitless.”

—MICHELLE A. WILLIAMS, SC.D., Dean of Faculty, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health

“In Metahuman, Deepak Chopra gives us a beatifically written understanding of his views on consciousness, the universe, the body, and the mind. This book is a tremendous resource—not only for providing a direct path to attain true reality but, importantly, for enabling a healthier, more wholesome life.”

—RALPH SNYDERMAN, M.D., Chancellor Emeritus, Duke University; and Director, Duke Center for Personalized Health Care

“This book is a manual for living as nature intended us to, and it can’t be read soon enough. Deepak Chopra’s clarity and gentleness, and his ability to reach people—despite the maelstrom of nonsense and confusion we find ourselves immersed in today—probably make him one of the most important people alive.”

—BERNARDO KASTRUP, PH.D., author of The Idea of the World

“Deepak Chopra’s prose is a work of art, an inspired vision of the life of the mind and what it means to be human and beyond. Science will continue to explore the true origins of consciousness, but until we have definitive answers, this book provides practical tools for increasing human well-being. Even reductionists like myself will find much to enjoy in Deepak’s latest contribution to the philosophy of mind.”

—HEATHER BERLIN, PH.D., M.P.H., Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

“Integrating recent discoveries in neuroscience, endocrinology, and psychology, Deepak Chopra demonstrates in concrete terms how reductionistic and physicalistic constraints on human nature are simply incorrect and seriously limit those who hold them. This book is a page-turner.”

—ALLAN LESLIE COMBS, PH.D., Professor of Consciousness Studies, California Institute of Integral Studies

“Deepak Chopra’s Metahuman is a deep dive into educating or familiarizing its readers with a fundamental understanding of self, consciousness, enlightenment, and metareality, in the same way Stephen Hawkins’s A Brief History of Time attempted to teach the layman about the mysteries of the origins of the physical quantum universe. A must-read.”

—DR. KENNETH P. GREEN, D.M.D., B.S., Commander, US Navy (retired); Senior Vice President, Brain Mapping Foundation; Vice President, Strategic Initiatives for Government and Nonprofit Partnerships; and Member of the Board of Directors, Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics

“In Metahuman, Deepak Chopra provides us with a step-by-step guide for how we can once again reimagine the reality of the world we live in, a reality not bound by the beliefs and understandings we have about the material and physical world, but by the boundlessness of our purpose and energy.”

—ROBERT LOCASCIO, founder and CEO, LivePerson

“What sets Deepak Chopra’s new book apart and makes it particularly valuable and important is that it takes modern life and secular culture as its point of departure, rather than being situated in the context of the spiritual wisdom tradition of some ancient and distant culture. Metahuman does not shy away from what those approaches offer but, importantly, is also not bound by their perspectives and approaches. This book, Dr. Chopra’s gentle and insightful guidance, is a great blessing for its readers.”

—EDWIN L. TURNER, Professor, Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University

“This book is another masterpiece from the renowned endocrinologist Deepak Chopra. It is an invitation to self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-improvement. A must-read for those who seek to be better humans, live much more fulfilling lives, and impact others.”

—BABAK KATEB, M.D., Chairman of the Board and CEO, Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics
