If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another. The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience. If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.

Reviewing Susan Jacoby's book The Age of American Unreason Kaminer (2008) sees Chopra's popular reception in America as being symptomatic of many Americans' historical inability (as Jacoby puts it) "to distinguish between real scientists and those who peddled theories in the guise of science". He currently serves as an Adjunct Professor of Executive Programs at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. The documentary is directed by actress Namrata Singh Gujral and also features cancer survivors Olivia Newton-John Diahann Carroll Melissa Etheridge Mumtaz and Jaclyn Smith.

His books have been translated into 35 languages and sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Chopra has taught at the medical schools of Tufts University Boston University and Harvard University. His critics accuse him of creating a false sense of hope in sick individuals which may keep them away from effective medical care.
