Deepak Chopra believes that our collective consciousness is the solution to stopping our unsustainable consumption. Having began his career as a medical doctor, Chopra became disenchanted with the limits of western medicine and turned to the potency of the mind-body connection. He has written about this topic in more than 65 books, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. Chopra and businessman Rinaldo Brutoco co-founded Just Capital, an organization dedicated to helping executives of financial institutions and members of the public sector make sustainability a number one priority. 

Chopra is an adjunct professor of Executive Programs at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He is also a Distinguished Executive Scholar at Columbia Business School, Columbia University, and a Senior Scientist at the Gallup organization.
