HOW TO KNOW GOD

To some a mystic and to others a charlatan, Chopra reads the latest of his many books, presenting his distinctive religious ideas with clarity and seriousness. Chopra was born and raised in New Delhi and has the accent, albeit slight, of one whose first language is Hindi. His pronunciation and intonation are different from those of a native English speaker, but not off-putting. Trained in modern medicine and a current promoter of an ancient science of healing, Chopra sounds like a deeply spiritual yogi while reading this book, which blends Western and non-Western approaches to both religion and science.
