Chopra and Kripal: A Meeting of Mystics January 08, 2015
One is a holistic health guru with his own spiritual empire of self-help books, workshops and Oprah-endorsed meditation retreats. The other sticks to university crowds, known for his scholarship on modern mysticism and consciousness. While Deepak Chopra and Jeffrey Kripal come from different worlds, both men, in their own ways, approach the mystery of existence with humility and awe. This week, we’ve brought them together for a heart-to-heart about Dr. Chopra’s new book, The Future of God.
