The new issue of the Watkins' Mind Body Spirit magazine features the 100 MostSpirituallyInfluentialLivingPeople. This is the second year that Watkins has published its 100 list, which ranks spiritual leaders and authors including the Dalai Lama (#1), Deepak Chopra (#4), Rhonda Byrne (#10), and Nelson Mandela (#12). Newcomers to this year's list include Elizabeth Gilbert (#6), Iyanla Vanzant (#7), and Mooji (#91). The magazine dedicates a fourteen page feature to the 100 list, which celebrates the most active and influential spiritual teachers.
