New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra will be in Bermuda this week for a sold-out talk on health.

The event on Saturday, organised to highlight Colonial Group International’s Zest Wellness programme, will see Dr Chopra discuss his latest book, The Healing Self.

Dr Chopra said: “I am very much looking forward to coming to Bermuda.

“Together, we will explore how to create a more peaceful, just, sustainable, and happier world, and it begins with each of us choosing to heal and transform ourselves.”

Dr Chopra is a New York Times bestselling author with more than 85 books translated into more than 43 languages, including 22 New York Times bestsellers.

He is the founder of The Chopra Foundation and co-founder of The Chopra Centre for Wellbeing.

Dr Chopra is also a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, a member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and a Clinical Professor in Medicine at the University of California, San Diego.

Jacqueline Perreault, the corporate wellness director at Colonial, said the company took Dr Chopra to the Cayman Islands last year.

She also added: “The event was so successful we decided straight away that we wanted to repeat it, but this time in Bermuda. CGI has invested significantly to provide cutting edge preventive medical services.

“Its wellness programme, Zest Wellness, is available to most Premier Health members and offers resources and tools to create long-lasting healthy habits in the community, which will benefit everyone in the long-run.”
