By Deepak Chopra, MD Senior Scientist The Gallup Organization, and Jim Clifton, Chairman and CEO of Gallup Organization Over the past decade the word “fear” has become all too familiar.

Every senseless, horrific act of violence brings up the question of good versus evil, and when you read that children have died by violence - a common thread linking the Newtown shootings and the Boston Marathon bombing - there's even more reason to shudder and doubt. In fearful times maintaining the most minimal idea of "God is good" becomes harder.

Dear TED, Is It ‘Bad Science’ or a ‘Game of Thrones’?

Tanzi, Ph.D., and Neil Theise, MD One of modern science's great strengths is that any questionable finding dies a quick death if it's invalid.

Analysts warn us that American opportunity is flagging, especially if you are poor...

By Deepak Chopra Senior Scientist, the Gallup Organization Jim Clifton CEO, the Gallup Organization When they think of India, many people still have the shining image of it as a rising economy, one of the four most promising in the world, in fact. As one of the BRIC countries, along with Russia, Brazil and China, India's rise from a long history of poverty raised hope for the rest of the developing world.
