He has a lot to say about his process which was interestingly done. I didn't know that he was instrumental in bringing his yoga guru into the U.S.. Loved the art he included in this book. Lots of fun.

Loved it. Great stories to highlight an amazingly creative career. Equally impressive are Max's motivators; the environment, patriotism, prevention of cruelty, etc. I also thought there is a good amount beautiful images in the book. The whole story is inspiring on multiple levels.
