Praise for The Healing Self

science, medicine, wisdom and health. As Deepak Chopra and Rudolph
Tanzi powerfully show, our first line of healing lies inside us,
and the choices we make today are crucial to lifelong wellness.”
–Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO of Thrive Global
"The Healing Self, as revealed by Chopra and Tanzi, is a natural
extension of the immunity and inflammation that can be managed by
the concrete approach of these seasoned authors." –Mehmet Oz, M.D.,

to diseases. In The Healing Self, Chopra and Tanzi provide both a
holistic and scientific perspective to understand this complex
relationship and promote health.” –Eric J. Topol, MD, Professor of
Molecular Medicine, Scripps Research Institute and author of The
Patient Will See You Now
“Perhaps the major medical breakthrough of our time is the
discovery that most, if not all, chronic disorders begin years
earlier than the first symptoms. We've learned that about
Alzheimer's — that it's 20 years in the making. The Healing
Self reminds us how important it is that we care for our
brains and our bodies at the earliest stage possible.” –Maria
Shriver, journalist and founder, The Women’s Alzheimer’s
Movement

symptoms. The Healing Self is a great resource in showing

the aging process, and going beyond conventional
prevention.” –Dean Ornish, M.D., Founder & President,
Preventive Medicine Research Institute Clinical Professor of
Medicine, UCSF and author of The Spectrum
“As an academic dean and steward of population health, I understand
the damaging effect of prolonged stress and
inflammation on overall well-being. Research has shown us
that many chronic diseases – such as diabetes and heart disease –
can be greatly improved or even prevented through behavioral
interventions. Deepak Chopra and Rudolph Tanzi’s book The
Healing Self provides a potential blueprint for lasting
behavioral change through diet, exercise, rest, and positive human
connection. This book has the power to enhance individual health
and impact many of today’s public health challenges.” –Bess H.
Marcus, PhD, Professor of the Department of Behavioral and Social
Sciences and Dean of Brown University School of Public Health
“In this landmark book, Drs. Chopra and Tanzi show us that true
healing begins with self-healing, a journey of recognizing and
nurturing the healing self and the acceptance of our 'dual role' as
both the healer and the healed. The healing self is our very own
nature, that intelligence which creates, nurtures and sustains all
life as we know it.” –Paul Mills, PhD, Professor of Family Medicine
and Public Health Chief of University of California, San Diego,
Behavioral Medicine Division

will find a practical set of tools informed by the latest science

your health forever.” –Mark Hyman, MD, Director of the Cleveland

inflammation. More importantly, The Healing Self gives us
a clear and concise roadmap that allows us to use this information
to heal ourselves and stay healthy for life.” –James R. Doty,
