Deepak Chopra has said some crazy things over the years. And some of it is damn stupid advice. So let’s take a look and analyse some of them.

Quotes are taken from QuoteFancy.com.

Please note: I have not read any of Deepak Chopra's books, and I am not an expert on him. I am merely judging these quotes as quotes. But many people who believe them and share them have probably not read his books either.

“Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath. You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe is by letting go of it. Let go and it will be yours forever.”

This sounds like when Eckhart Tolle said:

Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it.

But actually, it’s worse, because he says that the only way to get anything in the physical universe is to let go of it. This makes no sense at all. To get something, that implies I don’t have it yet. How can I let go of something I don’t yet have?
