Book Reviews of The Wisdom of Yoga: A Seeker's Guide to Extraordinary Living

Book Review: Uninspired
Summary: 1 Stars

I didn't like this book for a few reasons.

First, The writing style is very flat and boring despite the pedantic use of impressive-sounding words.

Second, it adds nothing of value to the yoga literature, and failed to inspire this reader to pursue yoga.

Third, the cases provides as examples are so uninteresting that it really takes away all interest to continue on the path of yoga.

Fourth, one gets the feeling that this is the new style "trendy" yoga, rather than the old style spiritual path, because of absence of any genuine guru. The author is definitely not a guru, but to give him credit, does not represent himself as one either.

Fifth, well, the absence of eastern mysticism really takes the taste away...
