Deepak Chopra, M.D., FACP, FRCP, is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. Chopra co-founded DeepakChopra.ai, his AI twin and wellbeing adviser, and Cyberhuman.ai, a transformative suite of personalized health and wellbeing solutions. Chopra is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego; a senior scientist with Gallup; and an Honorary Fellow in Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He has authored over 95 books translated into over 43 languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. For over 30 years, Chopra has been at the forefront of the meditation revolution, guiding individuals to embrace their inherent strength, wisdom and potential for personal and societal transformation. His mission is to create a more balanced, peaceful, joyful and healthier world. Time magazine has described Chopra as one of their top 100 most influential people.
"I strategize unconsciously."
Giving credit to meditation and his inner stillness, Chopra makes quick decisions that ultimately prove to be correct, something he terms “spontaneous right action.” When reflecting on these decisions, he recognizes them for what they are: rapidly choosing among many options, a defining characteristic of Strategic.
"I bring together people who have different views, who have different perspectives."
In his nonprofit work and his business, Chopra uses his Connectedness by bringing together people who may expect to have conflict, asking them to find a solution in which everyone would benefit, even competitors of the undertaking. “We invariably find one,” he says.
"I maximize my own energy … I'm very responsible for my personal, emotional, physical wellbeing."
Chopra maximizes not only his own wellbeing but also the wellbeing of the people around him, doing what he can to ensure they each have the energy to do what they want to do each day.
"Infinite flexibility is the secret to immortality."
When faced with a situation that doesn’t go his way, Chopra releases his notion of how it should play out, trusting that he doesn’t know the big picture, offering the situation no resistance.
"I’m thinking 100 years ahead."
Chopra uses Futuristic to imagine life in the distant future, anticipating challenges and opportunities that will face humanity. Chopra said, "I was thinking 100 years ahead in technology, but I was also thinking 100 years ahead in terms of peace and social justice and climate change and health and opportunities and joy."
