Invitation to Good Health and Lasting Happiness
Dr. Chopra, a best-selling author and sought-after speaker, will review the
scientific evidence regarding the health benefits of coffee, exercise,
vitamin D3, nuts, and meditation. Did you know that people who drink coffee
have a lower risk of five common cancers? Coffee drinkers, both men and
woman, have lower total and cause-specific mortality. Based on his research
and reflections, he will also address the key elements leading to sustained
happiness. Living with purpose is the foundation to finding happiness and
joy. As Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days in your life are
the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
