Yet everything he'd learned from working with them felt oddly familiar. One day it suddenly became clear: all that wisdom had its roots in a film he'd watched as a child, "The Wizard of Oz." That revelation led to his first book 'Emeralds of Oz: Life Lessons From Over the Rainbow'. Deepak Chopra says: "The nine Emeralds in this book provide a powerful, near-magical tool for navigating any difficult situation. I have been using them myself, and my life is more effortless, spontaneous, and joyful."
