Deepak Chopra - Metahuman: Unleashing Your Infinite Potential

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!

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.

Deepak Chopras 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.

L EONARD M LODINOW, bestselling author of Elastic: Unlocking Your Brains 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.

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.

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 wellbeingand all such concepts of the mindto a life based on our very own nature and that of the universe: existence itself.

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 usit is us. And Deepak Chopra tells us how to reach it.

Deepak Chopra and I have had our differences on a few scientific issues, but the one thing that Ive 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 Deepaks 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.

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, depressioneven loneliness.

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.

Reflecting on neuroscience, physics, cosmology, and anthropologyeverything from the molecular-level sensitivity of our senses to an octopuss emotionsDeepak 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.

G EORGE M USSER, author of Spooky Action at a Distance and The Complete Idiots 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 . R AMACHANDRAN, Professor of Neuroscience, University of California, San Diego

This book contains the quintessence of Deepak Chopras 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. Chopras argument is fluent, scientifically well-informed, and persuasive, as well as eminently practical, with detailed instructions. How refreshing!

R UPERT S HELDRAKE, P H. 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.
