did not like it

This book is supposed to be highly rated and strongly recommended but after spending a week with it, grappling with finer details, ordering more books sideway mentioned in it and googling the references quoted within the book, here is my summary;

This book is anecdotal, pseudo-scientific and potentially dangerous. It starts a thread with promise of carrying it through and somewhere in between changes the very premise of the original thought. It tries to tell those age old lessons about Breathing which most of us were taught as kids - To breathe well. As for the content, I would recommend any of the reader or interested person here to just pick any good book on Yogic Sutras and should come out 1000 times more learned and satiated. I would recommend to skip this and maybe find any other good one should this be a topic important to you.

Vikrant Rana This is helpful, will save time. This sounds like part of the larger narrative of cultural usurpation, which starts with 'mindfulness'.


Mohit Yeah. And the bestseller breed of uselessness
