A decade ago, Deepak Chopra, M.D., wrote Perfect Health, the first practical guide to harnessing the healing power of the mind, which became a national bestseller. The book described how breakthroughs in physics and medicine were underscoring the validity of a 5,000-year-old medical system from ancient India known as Ayurveda ("the knowledge of life span" in Sanskrit). Perfect Health went on to describe how to apply the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to everyday life. In celebration of this classic work we have created this new edition, revised and updated to include the latest medical research.Although we experience our bodies as solid, they are in fact more like fires that are constantly being consumed and renewed. We grow new stomach linings every five days, for instance. Our skin is new every five weeks. Each year, fully 98 percent of the total number of atoms in our bodies is replaced. Ayurveda gives us the tools to intervene at this quantum level, where we are being created anew each day. Ayurveda tells us that freedom from sickness depends on contacting our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body.Perfect Health provides a complete step-by-step program of mind body medicine tailored to individual needs. A quiz identifies the reader's mind body type: thin, restless Vata; enterprising, efficient Pitta; tranquil, steady Kapha; or any combination of these three. This body type becomes the basis for a specific Ayurvedic program of diet, stress reduction, neuromuscular integration, exercise, and daily routines. The result is a total plan, tailor-made for each individual, to reestablish the body's essential balance with nature; to strengthen the mind body connection; and to use the power of quantum healing to transcend the ordinary limitations of disease and aging--in short, for achieving Perfect Health.

 Another excellent book by Deepak Chopra
Don't miss this awesome, comprehensive book that can be a tremendous resource for your health!
Inspiring and helpful
I love this book, I'm almost finished, but don't want it to end.
Such a loving manner of teaching and information about health and diet. Makes sense and works.
Good intro
I first got this a long time ago. It is a good intro to auyervedic. I'm a Polarity practicioner which uses these basics. Yeah, he channels you to suppliers, but it is worth intuiting it yourself, what will work is available other ways.
 Deepak, come on now!
Needs to get to the point and be clearer.
Good intro to ayurveda, but I have to agree with other reviewers, too much of an advertisement for chopra products and services...which are outrageously priced. In all fairness, if I had tons of money to throw around, I would give some of the programs a try...well, the ones that aren't held in crowded, polluted southern California.
Deepak, love ya, but stop advertising.
Perfect Health
Hi,
I am enjoying reading this book. Eventhough I am not done with the book. I have a feeling that I need to read this atleast two time to get thru' the message. There is so much of information that it is hard to perceive everything at the first time.
