Life After Death: The Book of Answers

In Life After Death: The Book Of Answers, Dr. Deepak Chopra, the mind-body specialist, examines an age-old question from a modern perspective. What happens after death? Is there something beyond, or is death the end of existence? This question has been examined by almost all races in all regions of the world. It is a fundamental question that each religion tries to answer in its own way. In Hindu philosophy, life and death are eternal cycles. In the Upanishads, there is the tale of a young boy, Nachiketas, who visits the Lord of Death, Yama, and in search answers to his questions about life and death. In this book, Life After Death: The Book of Answers, Deepak Chopra combines the wisdom of the Vedas with the science of particle physics to provide answers to this basic question. He explains the Vedic theory that death is but a stopover in the eternal journey of the soul, as it searches for self-realization. The book is filled with exercises that help the reader understand these concepts. Though a lot of the ideas are drawn from eastern philosophy, this book is not intended for any particular religious section. It provides food for thought and allows the reader to interpret the ideas according to whatever path they follow. Dr. Deepak Chopra is a medical doctor who specialized in endocrinology. He has written several books on mind and body health, and spirituality - Why Is God Laughing, The Way of the Wizard, and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams. He has extensive teaching experience at Tufts University and Boston University Medical School. The author has also worked as the Chief of Staff at Boston Regional Medical Center. Chopra was introduced to the Ayurvedic system of healing by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. To overcome the limitations of modern medicine, Dr. Chopra conceived a new method called “Quantum Healing”. It combines Western and Eastern medical science and aims to promote a holistic approach to health.
