I would disagree actually. I would say if you really understand what Deepak Chopra is talking about, it will build resilience and inner strength.

After all, what he's talking about are ideas that have been expressed by Buddhists and Hindus for thousands of years.

And Buddhism particularly, is known for building inner resilience. Who can forget the monk who self-immolated as a protest against religious freedom, and didn't move a muscle or scream as he burned alive? He was in a state of meditation that allowed him to withstand any suffering.

I actually wrote an article you might enjoy. It's called:

"Feeling Inner Peace While the World Burns" about how we can thrive and let go of suffering in a world that contains horrific atrocities - and that this is not a weak choice, but in fact a decision that can give us strength to help others. It's the Buddhist concept of Bodhisattva.
