Press Release Summary = Deepak Chopra's best-selling guide to creating abundance and prosperity is now on CD and read by the author. Based on seven natural laws that govern all creation, this book shatters the myth that success results only from hard work, exacting plans, and driving ambition.
Press Release Body = In August 2005, Chopra posted a series of articles on the blog The Huffington Post (to which he is a frequent contributor) in which he offers his solution to the creation-evolution controversy. In doing so he expressed support for Intelligent Design without the Bible or the politics of religion. According to Chopra, Nature displays intelligence.
In the article, Chopra states:
\"To say that Nature displays intelligence doesn\'t make you a Christian fundamentalist. Einstein said as much, and a fascinating theory called the anthropic principle has been seriously considered by Stephen Hawking, among others.\" \""It's time to rescue \"intelligent design\" from the politics of religion. There are too many riddles not yet answered by either biology or the Bible, and by asking them honestly, without foregone conclusions, science could take a huge leap forward." Chopra also offers a series of questions about evolution he believes cannot be answered by science alone (thereby requiring an \"intelligent designer\"). Science writer Michael Shermer, founder of The Skeptics Society and long-time critic of Chopra, posted a response.
Chopra has been both appreciated and criticized for his frequent references to the relationship of quantum mechanics to healing processes, a connection that has drawn skepticism from some quarters because it can be considered as possibly contributing to the general confusion in the popular press regarding quantum measurement, decoherence and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
In 1998, Chopra was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in physics for \"his unique interpretation of quantum physics as it applies to life, liberty, and the pursuit of economic happiness.\"
In its May 22/29, 1991 issue, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published an article by Sharma, Triguna and Chopra: Maharishi Ayur-Veda: Modern Insights Into Ancient Medicine. This article was represented as discussing the traditional healing system practiced in India known as Ayurveda. Upon investigation, JAMA editors discovered that the co-authors had financial interests in the complex web of interlocking organizations that promoted and marketed Maharishi Ayur-Veda products and services. In the August 14, 1991 edition of JAMA, the editors published a financial disclosure correction and followed up in October 2, 1991 with a six-page Medical News and Perspectives exposé. In response, two Transcendental Meditation groups and Chopra sued the author, Andrew Skolnick, JAMA\'s editor Dr. George Lundberg, and the AMA for $194 million in July 1992. The courts dismissed the suit without prejudice in March 1993, and no part of Skolnick\'s article was retracted. The series of events was later reviewed by Skolnick in the Newsletter of the National Association of Science Writers.
Chopra has cast himself as a critic but not an enemy of conventional medicine. He teaches an annual update in Internal Medicine at Beth Israel hospital Harvard Med School and physicians\' continuing education though his center has been certified by the AMA.
