Deepak Chopra |
Deepak Chopra has written 88 books and is working on his 89th,
The New York Times reports on his routine:
I’m up at 5 a.m. I’m a morning person. We have circadian lighting in the bedroom, which changes from total darkness to pre-dawn to morning light. Then I stare at the ceiling for 10 minutes doing nothing...Then he works on his book for 2 hours.
For the next two hours I sit in bed and meditate. When my wife wakes, she meditates with me. Then I practice body and breath awareness while asking myself, “How can I have the most joyful day?”,,,
From 7:30-8:30 I do standard yoga...
I make coffee and drink three cups before noon. Then, no coffee after that. I used to have only one, but my brother, who’s a doctor, convinced me to have more. He thinks everyone should have five cups, but that’s too much...
Around 9:30 my wife and I take a two-hour walk. We do Central Park or ride the subway to Queens or Brooklyn. I specifically go to ethnic neighborhoods like Chinatown and Little India because it’s different. I enjoy sensory experiences like color, taste, and people. Living in New York is like living in the rest of the world. We walk a minimum of 10,000 steps. Usually it’s 20,000, or 5 to 10 miles...
First we decide if we’re going to have a big lunch or dinner. I only have one big meal a day. I leave that to my wife. I’m not a foodie but I know every restaurant in the neighborhood. I love anything that’s different from our own Indian cooking, which my wife will do if the kids are here...

Between this guy and Tom Woods, I feel like such a piker.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll just get up and pour myself another Jameson.
Hey, you don't suppose...?
Anyhow, have a great New Year, Robert. (I'll bet it won't be boring)
One meal per day...I'm with him on that. In fact, every other week, throw in a 48-hour fast, which keeps the body in ketosis and in fat-burning mode.
ReplyDeleteOh, so he does other stuff too
