What has it been to be human today?

To be human today is to be responsible either directly or indirectly for climate change,

for extinction of species, poison in the food chain, war, terrorism, cyber hacking, biological warfare.

This means extinction. This means extinction. cyber hacking, biological warfare.

This means extinction.

This means extinction.

And it also means insanity.

So if we do not agree that the world is insane,

then we are declaring our insanity.

So that's where I am.

The world is insane.

I've accepted that.

And I'm at peace.

Welcome. My guest today needs no introduction, but I'm going to give you one anyway because I have my own special story to tell you.

In 1992, I published my first book. It was called A Return to Love. And while I was writing the book, I read a book by someone I had never read before. I'd never heard of this author

before. He was a doctor. And he talked about how when he was in medical school, they were experimenting

with rabbits and I don't know something with rabbits.

And the medical students started cuddling the rabbits and just stroking them and stuff because

they were so cute. And he found the extraordinary physical changes that occurred in terms of

the health of the rabbits. So I thought that this was so in line with everything I was talking about and writing about and return to love.

So I spoke of this author, I spoke of this book, I spoke of this experiment, his name, Deepak Chopra.

I remember thinking the name is kind of odd because I'd never heard that name before.
