Teens Ask Deepak: All the Right Questions »

Bestselling author Deepak Chopra is widely recognized as one of the world s leading authorities in the field of holistic medicine. His belief that the mind, body, and spirit are closely interknit has won him legions of followers.

"Adults squirm when the big questions come up, especially the big spiritual ones. They don't want their kids to worry, so they give answers that all say one thing: 'Don't worry. It's all okay.'

"And yet the big questions still keep coming up. At every age we all need to know what life is really all about. Not just on the surface, but deep down.

"Teenagers are no exception. They deserve a spiritual life all their own. One that offers the kind of comfort we hope to give our children, but is different at the same time. More full of ideas. More mature. More fitting for the whole wide future that lies ahead.

"That's what I've tried to do in this book, as fully and as honestly as possible."

— Deepak Chopra

The spiritual guide Deepak Chopra addresses teens with a highly accessible guide, Teens Ask Deepak: All the Right Questions, illus. by Damien Barchowsky. Taking teens' own questions as his starting point, the author puts forth some thought-provoking ideas. Beginning with a 14-year-old's question about what Deepak would change "if you could change one thing about the history of our Earth," the author says, "I wish everyone knew from birth that they had a soul." He follows up with spiritual quizzes, checklists, anecdotes and explorations of the corporal, such as the breath, as well as more abstract ideas such as inspiration and motivation. An ideal introduction to this leader's ideas. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
