Deepak Chopra: What is Happiness?
How Big is the Universe? The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.

He will discuss how we can become a living cell within the body of a living universe.We don't join the cosmic dance-we become the dance. He declares: "You can't change the body without changing the self, and you can't change the self without bringing in the soul. It's all one process, and it begins with knowing that your body exists to mirror who you are and who you want to be."
Deepak Chopra is the author of more than fifty books, translated into over thirty-five languages including numerous New York Times bestsellers in both the fiction and nonfiction categories, His book “Peace Is the Way” (Harmony Books) won the Quill Awards and “The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of your Life” was awarded the Nautilus Award.
Chopra's work is changing the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness. Anne Thibeault-Berube, founder of the Autopoetic Ideas Festival and the producer for the event, comments “For the first time in ages, we are in the mist of a great paradigm shift that is quickly taking us from an external view of the world based on materialism, reductionism and the preservation of old habits to an internally referenced understanding of all life which values creativity, compassion, inner purpose, joy and unity with all. Deepak’s dedication to a ‘well’ humanity is contagious. To be in the presence of such a powerful teacher is a rare occasion and an experience no one can afford to miss. I am thrilled and honored to be able to bring Dr. Chopra to Montreal.”
The evening includes a reception with Chopra beginning at 6pm for VIP ticket holders, until 7:00pm. At 7:30pm he will take to the stage and the event ends with a book signing, available to all ticket holders. Tickets are available at http://www.laplacedesarts.com and by calling 514 842 2112
