Deepak Chopra is an American author, New Age guru, and alternative medicine advocate. A prominent figure in the New Age movement, his books and videos have made him one of the best-known and wealthiest figures in alternative medicine. In the 1990s, Chopra, a physician by education, became a popular proponent of a pseudoscientific approach to well-being that includes yoga, meditation, and nutrition, among other New Age therapies. Chopra discussed several influential works during podcast episodes. On On Purpose with Jay Shetty, he mentioned Don Hoffman's The Case Against Reality, arguing that the universe we see is a projection, and discussed reading James Hilton's Lost Horizon at age fourteen, which inspired his interest in fiction. He also brought up W. Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage and The Razor's Edge as inspirations for pursuing medicine and exploring existential themes. Additionally, he discussed his own book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and its guiding principles. On The Diary Of A CEO, he recommended Alan Watts's The Wisdom of Insecurity to Steven Bartlett.
