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.
