HELP PEOPLE FULFILL THEIR
DREAMS, THE 7 SPIRITUAL LAWS OF
SUCCESS AND JOINING US
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE ADVOCATE
FOUNDER AND AUTHOR DR. CHOPRA,
GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK.
>> THANK YOU.
MARIA: GO THROUGH SPIRITUAL
SUCCESS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
IN TERMS OF BEING SPIRITUALLY
HEALTHY AS WELL AS PHYSICALLY
HEALTHY?
>> SPIRITUAL I MEAN AWARENESS
AND SELF-AWARENESS.
FUNDAMENTAL REALITY IS PHYSICAL
THEN WHAT I'M SAY ASKING NOT
RELEVANT.
YOUR FUNDAMENTAL REALITY, YOUR
OWN CONSCIOUSNESS IN WHICH YOU
HAVE EXPERIENCE OF THE PHYSICAL
WORLD OF YOUR MIND AND
UNDERSTANDING HOW CONSCIOUSNESS
AND THE 7 LAWS ARE LAWS OF
POTENTIALITY GIVING AND
RECEIVING KARMA, KARMA NOT AS
HUGE AS PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT AS
THE CONDITION MIND.
ALSO LOOKING AT NATURE, LEAST
EFFORT, INTENTION, CREATIVITY,
DETACHMENT AND PURPOSE, THESE
ARE THE 7 LAWS THAT ORCHESTRATE
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF REALITY.
>> DR. CHOPRA IN THE CLIP THAT
WE SAW YOU TALK ABOUT SETTING
WORTHY GOALS, IT SOUNDS LIKE
THESE ARE NOT GOALS I WANT THIS
JOB, I WANT X AMOUNT OF MONEY,
IT'S MORE ABSTRACTED MORE
ENCOMPASSING?
>> THE GOALS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY
BUT MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY AS
WELL.
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY IS MAKING
SOMEBODY ELSE HAPPY.
MARIA: YOU ALSO HAVE A NEW
PODCAST, TELL US ABOUT PODCAST
AND PBS SPECIAL IN.
>> THE PODCAST IS PEOPLE LIKE
JIM, RUSSELL BRAND WHO CONQUERED
ADDICTION AND BEHAVIORS, A WOMAN
ASTRONAUT WHO WENT TO SPACE FROM
RUSSIA ACTUALLY, IRANIAN WOMAN
AND MANY OTHER VERY INTERESTING
PEOPLE RANGING FROM
NEUROSCIENTISTS TO ARTISTS.
I BELIEVE IF YOU BRING PEOPLE
FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS
TOGETHER WHAT YOU HAVE IS
DIVERGENCE.
>> ONE THING THAT WE ARE SEEING
IS TO FOCUS ON WELLNESS, IS THAT
SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE SEEING AS
WELL AND ARE YOU PLAYING A ROLE
IN THAT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I'M ACTUALLY PART OF AN
ORGANIZATION CALLED JUST CAPITAL
WHICH LOOKS AT COMPANIES THAT
ARE DOING GOOD FOR THE WORLD AND
MAKING MONEY AS WELL.
BUSINESS TO SUCCEED IN THE LONG
RUN IS TO TAKE CARE OF ITS
EMPLOYEES, IF YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE
HAPPY, CUSTOMERS ARE HAPPY,
CUSTOMERS ARE HAPPY, INVESTORS
ARE HAPPY.
DAGEN: DO YOU SEE FOCUS IN
CORPORATIONS FOCUSING ON THE
SPIRITUAL BECAUSE THEN IT
BECOMES TRICKY, TO PUSH WELL
INNOCENCE THE SENSE OF WEIGHT
LOSS OR EATING HABIT AND LIVING
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, BUT THE TWO
GO HAND IN HAND, THE PHYSICAL
SELF AND THE SPIRITUAL SELF, IS
IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR COMPANIES
TO TACKLE THAT BECAUSE YOU GET
IN THE AREA OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL
RELIGION?
>> RIGHT.
WE USE THE WORD EMOTIONAL
INTELLIGENCE.
[LAUGHTER]
DAGEN: I WISH LEE CARTER WAS
HERE BECAUSE SHE WILL PROBABLY
CORN -- COIN THE PHRASE.
>> MORE CONVENIENT AND MORE
CONVINCING.
MARIA: AND WHAT'S THE UPSIDE TO
IT?
>> ULTIMATELY IT'S NOT ABOUT A
DEAL, IT'S ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.
IF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE
HEALTHY, THE BUSINESS -- THE
MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS ARE
THOSE THAT EMPLOYEES AND THE
BUSINESS.
THE REST IS -- IT DEPENDS.
>> TRUST BEING IMPORTANT TO A
RELATIONSHIP IS SOMETHING I
GUESS --
>> 100%.
TRUST, AUTHENTICITY, INTEGRITY.
MARIA: IT'S REALLY, I THINK,
RESINATING WITH A BROADER GROUP
OF PEOPLE TODAY SPIRITUALTY AND
MEDITATING, YOGA THAN EVER
BEFORE, WOULD YOU SAY THAT?
>> I WOULD SAY THAT.
PEOPLE ARE GETTING BENEFITS
BECAUSE YOGA IS ONE THING THAT
IS VERY MIND-BODY COORDINATION.
MARTIAL ARTS, ALL THESE WISDOM
TRADITIONS, NOT ONLY PHYSICAL
ASPECT OF EXERCISE BUT THE MIND
MIND-BODY CONNECTION.
