A book to keep - By: Lomi, 22 Jun 2006
I've had this book for nearly eight years. It is dog eared, & battered, Ive read it on holiday, in the bath, at the breakfast table & in bed. I dip into it again & again. It is full of useful easy to understand information. It is an introduction to ayurvedic principles, for more detailed information you would have to look further.
Perfect Book - By: Acquafortis, 11 Sep 2005
I reallly enjoyed reading this book. It offers a very unique introduction to ayurvedic medicine with the right dose of information to appreciate its holistic beauty without drowning the reader with too much detail.

I confirm what the Time magazine has written about Deepak Chopra as being "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine". His book is written with love & passion giving a new light to a 5,000-year-old medical system interlinking new & old, tradition with modern, intuition with scientific explanation, Indian traditional medicine with quantum physics.

A book worth reading & rereading, ready to be used as a constant reference book.

Energy fields of the body - By: Pieter, 31 Jul 2004
Chopra takes an esoteric or quantum view of the body. Instead of considering it as something solid, he sees the body as interweaving systems of energies that are constantly being consumed & renewed. Ayurvedic medicine gives us the tools to intervene at the quantum level where we are being recreated every day.

Perfect Health provides a compreensive programme of mind-body medicine adapted to individual needs, based on the person's mind-body type. This typology forms the basis of a focused Ayurvedic program of stress reduction, diet, neuromuscular integration, exercise & daily routines.

Part I, A Place Callled Perfect Health, explains these various body types. Part II, The Quantum Mechanical Body, explains the channels of healing via for example meditation, healing sounds, music therapy & aromatherapy. Part III, Living In Tune With Nature, deals with diet, exercise & a seasonal routine that fits your type.

Chopra's views are framed in quantum language but correspond closely to the ancient esoteric view of the body, mind & spirit. This highly illuminating book concludes with an appendix, glossary, bibliography & index.

At last an acheivable life changing bible! - By: , 27 Jun 2001
Deepak Chopra's 'Perfect Health' is the Perfect companion for a week's holiday in the sun - just enough time to realign your lifestyle, & get just a litle bit of routine in your otherwise hectic lives. Start off by analysing your body type & be amazed by how true the results are. I loved the way that it gave me some insight into why I feel bad when I do, & practical advice about how to change it. Even if you take only some of it on board it does make a difference. I loved the diet tips & the easily acheivable yoga routine, alll of which seem to fill you with energy. And as we alll know, even reading & only thinking about making changes towards a better life makes some difference. Having tried a few of his recommendations I have no doubt that if you follow Chopra's steps to a better existence you will be on the path to a mind & body experience that with dedication could lead to Perfect Health.
