Ageless Body, Timeless Mind

As a senior citizen with several medical issues I am always seeking ways to keep healthy and well. When I saw this hardcover book (Ageless Body timeless mind by Deepak Chopra M.D. 342 pages) on Amazon for a bargain price I decided to purchase it.I just finished reading this text and found it to be well-written and thought provoking. What the author emphasizes is really not new, but the way he presents the material makes this a must read for anyone interested in improving themselves physically, mentally and spiritually.Unfortunately, the author gives the impression in this book that you can somehow defeat father time by just becoming more positive and following a healthy lifestyle. I suspect the author may have been young when he wrote this book because most people when they are young think they will never grow old and will live forever. As someone who lives in a retirement community I am faced with the true reality of aging every day. This is why I do not think it is helpful evading the facts of reality when it comes to life and aging. In any case, I found this book to be a good read with some excellent advice on how to deal with the process of aging. Who knows? Human kind may discover the fountain of youth some day? This is why I gave this book five stars.This book is organized into five parts and covers the following material: the land where no one is old, aging and awareness, defeating entropy, the science of longevity, and breaking the spell of mortality. Even though I think this book makes some valid points about aging; nevertheless, until we learn how to turn off the aging gene in our bodies we will continue to age, some faster and some slower depending on one’s medical issues.Rating: 5 Stars.

Arrived in great condition

Considering how long this has been around and how it was a best seller, why is the Kindle price so high? The author, if he is so noble and enthusiastic about his message, should be providing this at a very nominal charge.

In this wonderful book (a must!), Deepak Chopra explains in a very understandable way and from A to Z, the difference between growing old and growing sick, being the last one, the accepted condition in our Western cultures for anyone over 45 years old, but amazingly, this does not have to be... it's actually a matter of awareness! biological age depends on psychological age he says, implying that knowledge of true nature is essential to overcome the fear and sorrow feelings that are really responsible for our cells' inability at a certain point of age (beginning at around 30 years old) to rejuvenate themselves; "the habit of fear has sunk so deep that the body remembers to carry it out, even when the mind is resisting with all its might".We are not these bodies, but the thoughts that create it and those ones come from the Field... and it is right here where this book grows interesting; unity is what we should always aim for. Our physical world and our inner world (quantum) are closely related, forming the unity that gives consistency to the world we perceive, but perception is reality and ours is conditioned to think we are trapped in time and space so, we grow old and die because we expect that. We interpret that as the end, while it is really transformation. The moment we understand that the nature of our awareness is timeless, this process of growing old can stop and even reverse. It's our unique capacity of consciousness among all living creatures, which gives us this possibility.After reading this book, I can also see, that in a couple hundred years from now, many aspects of our Western, modern medicine, will be seen as not very different to that from the middle ages in our eyes today... a wonderful read that will give you a completely different view of life, death, health, sickness, aging, healing and eternity. A tool, more than a book.

This book is absolutely out of this world!!! I wish I had bought and read it in 1993 when it was published first. Of late I have been reading and practicing so much philosophy that the ideas of true enlightenment and immortality of soul, had taken deep root in me. I wanted to expand my knowledge further and so I picked up this book! Needless to say, I was impressed from the very first line I read!!An understanding of true enlightenment, and some rudimentary knowledge of quantum physics (that I got from from another great book, "Biocentrism", by Dr. Robert Lanza) helped me in understanding what the author was trying to convey. Everything Dr. Chopra has written and explained made perfect sense.I would recommend the combination of "Biocentrism", and "Ageless Body Timeless Mind" as the complete prescription to understanding the essence of true self, that is the same as consciousness, and living a complete life.I have talked to many of my friends about his book. Whenever I found someone was inspired by these ideas, I have promptly gifted him or her a copy of this book with my complements! This purchase today is my fifth one in the last three months, again as a gift for a very dear lady friend, who has just turned 99, and still maintains her brilliant mind. I consider her an embodiment of Ageless Body Timeless Mind! She said she is going to read it and and try to find identity of those ideas in the path of her own life.

Great insightful reading

This book is bed companion accountant reminder of what we are and where we are going >

This is just one of a number of publications by Deepak Chopra, and arguably,(for me), the best!I had no idea I was begining to learn about 'spiritualism' when I started reading these books, but it really doesn't matter if you're religious or not - or which religion you might prefer. This book is universal in my view and a real eye opener and life changer.Really? For me, and others that have read this most certainly 'YES'!Why? Just one example is that this book has stopped me thinking in a linear fashion about my age and ageing. This alone has helped me to stop fussing over getting older and in addition worrying about the past...and the future. By focusing on the 'here and now'! Sounds simple and the beauty of this and other books by Deepak Chopra and a number of other exponents of 'self - healing', 'self- development', is that the methods are easy and achievable to all with the ability to open their mind, clear their mind and want to improve their emotional and physical health.
