Observing an Ocean, one will notice that its waves rise and retreat regularly. Also, there are numerous people on its sandy beach, watching, playing, relaxing and enjoying. A child is playing on the beach and a wave comes and takes back with it his toys or destroys his sand castle - he gets upset and writes on the sand "Ocean is bad". A fisherman gets a good catch of fish from the sea, for his daily livelihood, he becomes happy and writes "Ocean is kind & my provider". Seeing a young person drown in the sea, the sad mother writes "Ocean is a murderer". A person walking on the beach on finding a precious pearl in the sea-shell, writes "Ocean is so benevolent". All this time, the mighty ocean has been the same and is not bothered on how others are referring to its tides/waves. It continues unfazed by other’s expressions on its nature and behaviour. Likewise, we humans need to be concentrating on our innate strengths/courage to carry on with our tasks/passion, undisturbed by external turbulence and deterrents. “Life is ... an Ocean... Explore & Float!” This book is an effort to provide worthwhile information on various common subjects, which regularly surface with varying complexities in our Life. Our Life ahead will be a culmination of various Choices and Decisions we make today!

Deepak Chopra was born in New Delhi, India in 1946. He was educated as a medical doctor, specializing in endocrinology, at All India Institute of Medical Sciences. He served as Chief of Staff at Boston Regional Medical Center, and has taught at Tufts and Boston University Medical Schools. He recognized limitations in the ways that his medical education approached treatment of individuals. Introduced to the ancient methods of Hindu healing, known as Ayurveda, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, he saw a way to add a spiritual dimension to treatment of illness. Chopra's thinking led him to develop a theory that he called Quantum Healing, which combines Western and Hindu medical practice. In 1984, Chopra brought Ayurvedic medicine to the United States, and within a year he established the Ayurvedic Health Centre of Stress Management and Behavioral Medicine in Lancaster, Massachusetts. He is also the founding President of the American Association of Ayurvedic Medicine and eventually founded the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. He has written more than 55 books including Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old; Creating Health: How to Wake Up the Body's Intelligence; Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life; The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams; The Shadow Effect and Muhammad: A Story of the Last Prophet; Spiritual Solutions: Answers to Life's Greatest Challenges; Super Brain: Unleashing the Explosive Power of Your Mind to Maximize Health, Happiness, and Spiritual Well-Being; and The Healing Self: A Revolutionary New Plan to Super Charge Your Immunity and Stay Well for Life. He has won numerous awards including a Quill Award for Peace Is the Way and the grand prize at the 2005 Nautilus Book Awards for The Book of Secrets. He also writes novels including The Return of Merlin; Soulmate; and Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment.
