Review:If the reader has not previously read Dr. Wayne Dyer, or Robert Twyman, then their works should be read first, before this one. Its is incredible on its own, but more can be gotten by reading the others first and then being able to understand this book as it is more cerebral and deeper in the same subject. A masterpiece!

Review:I have never read any works of Hindu philosophy or religion, but I found this work to be presented clearly and explained well. There were a few places where I got tripped up by terminology, but 95% of the time the terms were clearly explained and the text behind it was made clear, even to a novice like me. I can't speak about the other versions of this text, but I can say that this version was accessible and understandable. If you're looking to enhance your knowledge of the world, its people, an...

Review:This was a good book. I had read "Autobiography of a Yogi" which style was very humble and forthright. I did not get the same from this book because I thought the author was just slightly arrogant about his knowledge and status. Left me wondering if he was "true". However, I am a little like "doubting Thomas". Read more

I am not convinced that this particular style is the best for everyone but there are aspects that can be used to enhance an existing practice.

Walking meditation is amazing and adding a mantra enriches the experience. There is a ... Read more

Review:If you've been wondering about your purpose or calling in life, get this book! Stephen Cope walks us through the ancient Hindu spiritual text, the Bhagavad Gita, and puts it into easy-to-understand terms. I love that he uses examples of famous people's searches for their own purpose to illustrate each point. These range from Jane Goodall to Robert Frost to Susan B Anthony. It's a terrific summary of a text that's otherwise (for me) hard to read.
The principles that he talks about are all ... Read more

Review:Bhagavad-Gita or, The Song Celestial (From the Mahabharata).
This is an excellent treatment of millenia-old Hindu religious thought for the modern day thinking man. The main body of the book is Lord Krishna's explanation to his life-long friend and champion archer Arjun of life's purpose. I heartily recommend it to any reader interested in obtaining an overview of one of India's greatest philosophical works! Read more
