Deepak Chopra is an American author and a prominent figure in the New Age movement, known for promoting an approach to well-being that includes yoga, meditation, and nutrition. A physician by education, he wrote The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success and You Are the Universe: Discovering Your Cosmic Self and Why It Matters, and in 1996 he cofounded the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. His ideas about alternative medicine have drawn criticism from medical and scientific professionals, who have called them pseudoscience.
