From Barnes & NobleIn Awake in the World, Michael Stone delivers an emphatic, yet tranquil message: Yoga, he notes, is not about some remote "pie-in-the-sky-by-and-by" ultimate experience; it's about the here and now. In his essays, he teaches that mastering mindfulness and yoga practice can enrich our relationships with our family, friends, community, and, yes, ourselves. Stone's blend of Buddhist meditation methods and clinical psychotherapy practice gives this book a subtlety and accessibility not often encountered. A trade paperback original. Editor's recommendation.
From the Publisher"Just as yoga postures open the body, these essays awaken the mind, revealing, in elegant and lyrical prose, our unbreakable connection to every part of this ailing world.
