Deepak Chopra, the spiritual self-help author, described his New Age beliefs in an interview with Debra Pickett of the Chicago Sun-Times and said, "It's such a deep concept that I don't expect the Pope to get it." Among other things, he says the readers of his books can achieve world peace by acting like "a berserk mob in reverse." Upon hearing about the interview, the Pope slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"
