puissants de ce monde comme les individus les plus démunis, porte sur la vie et son terme un regard qui n’est plus seulement celui du praticien, mais celui d’un acteur et d’un témoin de son siècle, d’un homme de caractère et de foi. Une préfiguration récente de sa propre mort l’a conduit à rassembler ici, avec le recul et la rigueur que confère le fait d’être “revenu de loin”, ces méditations et confidences sur quelques thèmes-clés qui façonnent notre destin.

en tous genres de l'autre - notre conception de Dieu, quelles que soient nos convictions et nos croyances, nous écarte de toute expérience spirituelle.

Inspiré par les grandes traditions de sagesse et dans le respect des croyances individuelles, Deepak Chopra nous invite à croire, à rencontrer un Dieu non plus modelé à notre image ni à celui des fanatismes de tous bords, mais source de toutes choses et en harmonie avec la conception de l'univers. 2016.Comment je vois le monde
