-We've talked before.
But, you know, I'm a big fan of yours.
I think the first book that introduced me to you
was "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success."
-That's right. -And that was --
I'm telling everyone, you've just got to check that one out.
-I wish the President had read that 25 years ago.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-He's got time. He's got time.
[ Laughs ] [ Cheering ]
All right, all right.
Walk me through this and help me out here.
'Cause, right now, this is -- you brought it up.
It's just, like, kind of a tense time.
There's a lot of conflict out there.
A lot of people just, kind of, angsty and anxiety.
What can we do? What's a --
What should people do right now?
-When you have so much polarization, so much conflict,
contradiction, ambiguity, confusion,
that means society is going through a transition.
It's like water boiling to steam.
There's turbulence, but when the turbulence is over,
there is the emergence of something great.
So we should look at this as an opportunity.
The Chinese say, "Where there is danger, there is opportunity."
-Wow. Absolutely. That's --
[ Applause ]
What --
What daily practices do you do?
Like, what's just something -- when you get up in the morning,
what happens in Deepak's house?
-I take a little time to reflect.
I do a little meditation, which we'll go through
in a while. -We will? You will do that?
-I -- yeah. We can do a short version.
-Yes! That's so cool.
[ Cheers and applause ] That's going to be great.
-I do yoga, breathing exercises.
And then I write for a little bit.
-Yeah. -And then the rest of the day,
I just go with the flow. [ Laughter ]
-That's what I'm talking about. Just go with the flow.
-Go with the flow. It's called "lightness of being."
-Lightness of being.
I heard this somewhere.
I don't know if it's true or not.
Did you -- I heard that you invited the President to --
for a week-long meditation?
A week meditation with you?
-Yeah. I was thinking he could heal his inner child...
[ Laughter ] ...that is very wounded.
He's constantly looking for validation.
So, I think we have to go beyond his wounds
and see what's really troubling him.
He was never good enough, probably, when he was a child.
So, he always wants to be the best.
"I'm the best.
And if you don't agree with me, then you're fake news."
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Do you think that if you... [ Whistling ]
...if you got together with Donald Trump,
you could break him down, do you think?
-You don't need to break him down.
He needs love.
[ Light laughter ] That's all he needs.
-Wow. -I mean, he's looking for love
all the time.
So, I think if the whole country got together and said,
"Donny, we love you."
[ Laughter ]
He'd -- he'd cool down. Right now, he's inflamed.
You know, and we now know that chronic inflammation --
that's the message of this book. -Yeah.
-Chronic inflammation is the risk factor
for everything from Alzheimer's disease
to cardiovascular disease to autoimmune disease.
He's inflamed. He needs a little healing.
He needs -- needs love, compassion, empathy, joy.
-Yeah. Interesting. What do you think of these --
these apps that are on phones that have --
that are meditation apps?
-Oh, I think they're very good.
They're good for a start. As you know, with Oprah,
we've taught 6 million people online meditation now.
-Wow. What is the -- what is the app that you have?
-It's called Jiyo. J-I-Y-O.
And there are hundreds of meditations there.
You go to jiyo.com or chopracentermeditation.com.
-I love that. I played around with it. It's --
-Just for anything.
For weight loss, for anxiety. For --
-Why did you look at me for weight loss?
[ Laughter ] Just...
Maybe like sleep or something.
Maybe -- you look at me for that, you know --
-Or for self-esteem for our President.
[ Audience "oh"s ] -Oh, for -- okay, for the --
Okay, yeah. Again, I thought you were looking at me.
All right, good. But I've played around with it,
'cause you can look at it if you're having trouble sleeping.
Or -- -That's right.
-And I go, if you want to move, like,
what can motivate me to move?
That's what I played around with today and I pressed the thing
and they gave me some quick little instructions
on a stretch to do.
-Yeah, and get a joyful, energetic body,
loving, compassionate heart, alert mind.
And like this be. -Okay, good. I like that.
