Synopsis

In Brotherhood, Deepak and Sanjiv Chopra reveal the story of their personal struggles and triumphs as doctors, immigrants, and brothers. They were born in the ferment of liberated India after 1947, as an age-old culture was reinventing its future. For the young, this meant looking to the West. The Chopra brothers were among the most eager and ambitious of the new generation. In the 1970s, they each emigrated to the United States to make a new life. Both faced tough obstacles: While Deepak encountered resistance from Western-trained doctors over the mind-body connection, Sanjiv struggled to reconcile the beliefs of his birthplace with those of his new home. Eventually, each brother became convinced that America was the right place to build a life, and the Chopras went on to great achievements—Deepak as a global spiritual teacher and best-selling author, Sanjiv as a world-renowned medical expert and professor at Harvard Medical School.Brotherhood will fascinate and inspire those who still believe in America’s capacity to foster achievement and reward hard work.

Goodreads review by Kim Hollstein

This book surprised me with its readability. I don't usually stick with nonfiction, as much as I want to, it just doesn't hold my attention. The Chopra brothers manage to intertwine vignettes and philosophy and somehow it works. I'll admit, I am an admirer of Deepak, so maybe that added a level of i......more
