Deepak Chopra + Leonard Mlodinow

Our world is changing at dizzying speed. Technological advancements are bombarding us with more channels of information, which we must process in faster time. Fortunately, the human brain, mind and body are uniquely engineered to adapt. Integrative medicine pioneer Deepak Chopra and theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow share a rare appearance together as they interpret the mechanics of our minds and the self-healing nature of our bodies, in order to navigate the rapidly shifting landscapes around us. They will also discuss their latest books, Mlodinow’s Elastic: Flexible Thinking in a Time of Change and Chopra’s The Healing Self.

The program will be followed by a wine reception and book signing featuring Mlodinow’s Elastic: Flexible Thinking in a Time of Change and Chopra’s The Healing Self.

This program will be livestreamed on our Facebook page.

Brainwave is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
