[Madison Gillen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit of a more difficult read. The author is extremely knowledgeable on yoga and meditation and his passion shows through each page. However, personally the book was a little too philosophy driven for my liking. It really made me think, which is challenging as the book urges you to escape from the ordinary mind.

An excellent introduction.
