Yoga and the Quest for the True Self
Description
Millions of Americans know yoga as a superb form of exercise
and as a potent source of calm in our stress-filled lives. Far
fewer are aware of the full promise of yoga as a 4,000-year-old
practical path of liberation—a path that fits the needs of modern
Western seekers with startling precision. Now Stephen Cope, a
Western-trained psychotherapist who has lived and taught for more
than ten years at the largest yoga center in America, offers this
marvelously lively and irreverent “pilgrim's progress” for today's
world. He demystifies the philosophy, psychology, and practice of
yoga, and shows how it applies to our most human dilemmas: from
loss, disappointment, and addiction, to the eternal conflicts
around sex and relationship. And he shows us that in yoga,
“liberation” does not require us to leave our everyday lives for
some transcendent spiritual plane—life itself is the path. Above
all, Cope shows how yoga can heal the suffering of
self-estrangement that pervades our society, leading us to a new
sense of purpose and to a deeper, more satisfying life in the
world.
