Bestselling author Deepak Chopra will speak on The Future of Well-being at 8 p.m., March 15, in the Kimmel Center. He states, “There is a new revolution occurring in health today. That revolution is you. You—not doctors, not pharmaceutical companies—are ultimately responsible for your own health.” Chopra will share new insights from his latest work, The Healing Self, and explores some of the most important and baffling questions.

In the face of environmental toxins, potential epidemics, superbugs, and the accelerated aging process, the significance of achieving optimum health has never been more crucial—and the burden to achieve it now rests on individuals making the right lifestyle choices every day.

Chopra, founder of The Chopra Foundation and co-founder of The Chopra Center for Well-being, is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. He is the author of more than 85 books translated into over 43 languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers.
