Summary
This week’s conversation is with Deepak Chopra, a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation.
Deepak is the founder of The Chopra Foundation, a non-profit entity for research on well-being and humanitarianism, and Chopra Global, a modern-day health company at the intersection of science and spirituality
TIME magazine has described Deepak as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.”
He is the author of over 89 books translated into over forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers.
His 90th book and national bestseller, Metahuman: Unleashing Your Infinite Potential, unlocks the secrets to moving beyond our present limitations to access a field of infinite possibilities.
Deepak also has a new short form podcast called - Now for Tomorrow. I had the chance to be a guest and we stitched it onto the end of this conversation so I hope you enjoy it.
In this conversation, we explore big questions -- about the nature of reality and consciousness.
We discuss why it's so challenging to use language and sensory information to try to makes sense of the true nature of what is.
How can we understand reality when what we see and hear and feel is not complete?
My hope is that you'll leave this conversation with a different perspective on the way you think about what is real.

| 0:00.0 | Every morning I said four intentions, joyful energetic body, loving compassionate heart, reflective, quiet alert mind and lightness of being. |
| 0:13.0 | And then I ask those four intentions |
| 0:16.0 | to guide my choices for the day. |
| 0:18.0 | That's it. |
| 0:20.0 | And then I also decide that I'm going to cultivate stillness. If you have the right intention and you |
| 0:27.9 | want to know answers to very simple questions, then ask the question, who am I, what do I want, what's my purpose, |
| 0:35.8 | what am I grateful for, live the questions, don't worry about the answer. All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. I am Michael Jervay and by trade and training I'm a |
| 0:57.4 | sport and performance psychologist as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create. |
| 1:02.1 | I just gotta say that I love our community. |
| 1:05.0 | I love what we're doing. |
| 1:06.0 | I love the honesty of what we're trying to sort out and figure out |
| 1:09.0 | and just how real that we are using what we're learning, the vulnerabilities, to be able to express what we don't understand, and then taking the actions to be able to put them in play. |
| 1:23.3 | And the whole idea behind this conversation, |
| 1:25.1 | behind this podcast, is to learn from people |
| 1:28.4 | who have committed their life efforts towards mastery, |
| 1:32.1 | either mastery of self or mastery of craft or potentially both. |
| 1:36.0 | And we want to dig to understand what is the narrative that they hold, that they've grown, |
| 1:42.0 | what is the psychological framework that they've grown. What is the psychological framework that they've built? How do they |
| 1:45.2 | explain events in their lives and how do they explain who they are? What is their purpose? What are they |
| 1:50.9 | searching for? What's underneath the search? And then obviously we're going to dig and |
| 1:55.2 | understand the mental skills that they use to build and refine their craft. |
| 2:01.8 | Finding Mastery is brought to you by Kuzin Machia. |
