en tous genres de l'autre - notre conception de Dieu, quelles que soient nos convictions et nos croyances, nous écarte de toute expérience spirituelle. Or selon Deepak Chopra " la question n'est pas de savoir comment penser à Dieu, mais comment en faire l'expérience directement ". Au-delà des controverses, des dogmes et du scepticisme scientifique, Deepak Chopra nous propose de nous connecter à notre dimension spirituelle, cette ressource inaliénable de chaque être humain. Inspiré par les grandes traditions de sagesse et dans le respect des croyances individuelles, Deepak Chopra nous invite à croire, à rencontrer un Dieu non plus modelé à notre image ni à celui des fanatismes de tous bords, mais source de toutes choses et en harmonie avec la conception de l'univers. 2016.Football, histoire d'une passion (Les yeux de la découverte : arts, sports & loisirs ; #14)
