    Great read. Gives us (me) a new paradigm to look at the world. Happiness comes from within is the big takeaway.

  • A Life Changing Book

    As a retired professional with a lifetime of reading books, taking graduate classes, and teaching college students and professionals, this one book showed me I knew nothing. I was given the Autobiography of A Yogi by a friend to read on a plane trip in 1981, and Like Steve Jobs and George Harrison, I couldn't put it down. This life changing book opened endless horizons before my once blinded spiritual vision. That airplane ride was 37 years ago and I still try to read a little of the book every evening before meditation. If you read it with an open mind and a yearning heart, God will come into your mind and heart to stay. Your life will be vastly changed for the better.
