...sport attracts more mental mumbo jumbo. Leadbetter says Argentina's Eduardo Romero credits his late-career success to yogic breathing during his swing. Spain's Ignacio Garrido said his win in the 2003 European PGA Championship stemmed from "practicing less, reading more" - particularly the works of spiritual guru Deepak Chopra.

The Milliken Creek Inn & Spa in Napa Valley, Calif., offers a package that includes the Good Night Sleep Kit by Deepak Chopra. And at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego, the "vibe manager" will create a playlist of mellow music (ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to Morcheeba) as part of its turndown service...
