Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Yes, there is a lot about yoga in this book and Pollack's journey through yoga is the story, but this book is really about a a guy who is on the verge of a full-blown midlife crisis and attempts to deal with it by re-discovering his "best self." Pollack pulls this off by avoiding sentimentality and self-pity - his wit and humor is sharp and hits the target. It is clear that Pollack is not a wild-eyed yoga zealot, he finds yoga teachers and methods that speak to him, but he also pulls no punches when it comes to some of the more cynical yoga-marketing schemes (the "yoga championship" section is really a marvel). I found myself for-real laughing out loud whenever I picked up the book.
As someone around Pollack's age (and not that into yoga), his journey resonated with me this book resonated with me. Yes, I went to some yoga classes after reading the book, but more importantly it served as a reminder to try to find my own "best self" and not take myself so damn seriously.
Highly recommended.
