“Our book is about…well the short answer is our book is about meditation. The slightly longer answer is our book is for people who think meditation is not for them or that they could never do it. I had written a previous book called 10% Happier which was all about how I, as a skeptical news man, stumbled upon meditation and how it made a significant difference in my life. I assumed, kind of naively, that when I wrote my book and explained all of my reasons for meditating, including the fact that there’s science that suggests it’s really good for you, I kind of assumed that everyone would start meditating.”

“Faster Than Normal  is about understanding that a trait that many of us are born with, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is not the curse or the disability that we’ve been told it is all of our lives, that if managed properly, allows us to be faster than normal, to have quicker a brain, to come up with answers faster than other people, to create, to explore, to learn faster and differently, to get more hours in our day back, to get more of our life back. It is a gift, not a curse.”

For decades, Deepak Chopra has shared his research, learning, and expertise to help us define our world. In his new book, You Are the Universe, Chopra and Menas C. Kafatos, PhD, challenge us to think about our knowledge of how the world came to be and to apply this knowledge to our personal reality. Throughout the book, we explore the mystery behind scientifically founded theories and see how we can impact the reality these theories create. With this understanding, we learn more about who we are and how we influence the world in ways previously thought to be beyond our reach.
Narrated by Kaleo Griffith, this audiobook will help you see your actions and those of all around you in a new light and will encourage you to take control of your own reality. Be sure to enjoy this audiobook before you watch the You Are the Universe PBS special, airing in early March, to get the full impact of Chopra’s message and start making a difference in your life and the world around you.
