New Age Guru Deepak Chopra Signs Multi-project Podcast Deal With Audible
Alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra has signed a multi-project podcast development deal with Audible. The first series in the collaboration is Deepak Chopraâs âMind Body Zone: Living Outside the Box,â scheduled for a Sept. 16 release. The 12-episode podcast features Chopra in conversation with several influential leaders in the wellness space. âEach 30-minute episode of âMind Body Zoneâ features accompanying guided meditations and is tied to a specific theme, including embracing the unknown, self-acceptance, white privilege, and overcoming trauma and addiction,â as per a report in Variety.
âI believe that there is immense power behind the spoken word,â Chopra said in a statement, as reported by Variety. âEmotions are tethered to the human voice. This is why I chose to share my insights and experiences through the audio medium, and develop passion projects with Audible.â
Audibleâs deal with Chopra ârepresents a major investment in the expansion of its original wellness content, rolling out this September,â Variety reported.
Other projects as part of the deal include âa short-form memoir about his quest for inner freedom and a poetry project featuring notable guests and friends of Chopra,â Variety reported.
Chopra, 74, is the author of 91 books, including âTotal Meditation: Practices in Living the Awakened Lifeâ (Penguin Random Houseâs Harmony Books) published last year. He is the founder of the Chopra Foundation, a non-profit organization for research on well-being and humanitarianism, and Chopra Global described as âa health company at the intersection of science and spirituality.â
