Yoga and meditation practitioners usually come across Yogananda at some point on their spiritual journey. The Indian spiritual teacher who penned the book Autobiography of a Yogi is legendary mostly because his account of enlightenment is so incredibly inspiring to spiritual seekers in the west. This volume combines new material from Paramhansa Yogananda and is appropriate not just for his hundreds of thousands of followers and admirers in North America. The book includes short excerpts from his talks, writing and teachings within his community. What comes across is that this yogi is not only wise but able to use works to playfully explain some of the most complicated ideas about spirit. The book covers many topics including the search for happiness, sharing happiness with others, techniques for finding happiness, balancing success and happiness, and so forth. RECOMMENDATION: I liked this book. It s simple format and rich content make it an easy gift for yoga and meditation practitioners of all ages. --Taz Tagore, Beliefnet. com, April, 2012
