My hope is to develop a more personal relationship with a back and forth communication, something that I haven’t been able to do with my books.”

Deepak is leading the field of mind and body medicine and is changing the way we look at our health,” said Scott Greenstein, SIRIUS’ President, Entertainment and Sports. “We are excited to add Deepak Chopra’s Wellness Radio to our already strong line-up of lifestyle programming.”
