Not light readingJanuary 1, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book was kind of hard to get through initially, but the 2nd time through it was great. This is not fluff reading, or a let's-make-everybody-feel-good book. It's very informative and presents a whole new way for me to look at things.
A Field Manual for LifeDecember 28, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
At last, a straight-forward, easy to read manual for living without all the tedious layers of mythology and tradition that clutter many other books of like nature. Those cumbersome multi-volume texts can be enjoyable if one has the time for leisurely study and contemplation; but this book is designed for the field under combat conditions when inner struggles between reality and illusion can be extremely difficult without seasoned wisdom readily available. It's a love letter for humanity from one who truely cares.

Very comprehensive and understandable guide to help with Pantanjali's complex sutra....I'd recommend for anyone struggling to better understand sutras. I am using it in a study group and is by far the best guide in the group!
very helpful in the study of the sutrasMay 6, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Carrera's sourcebook is helpful in this daunting task of unpacking the sutras of Patanjali. He has explained so nicely his well-organized work which is clearly influenced by his guru, Swami Satchitanada. His clarity and humor are real gems in making this text accessible for the modern day yogi (yogini). It is highly readable and can be used as a resource and reviewed countless times. I find something new each time I read it!
A Work of PeaceDecember 17, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This reflective book is my peace in the morning. I start each day reading and re-reading one or two sutras. Rev. Jaganath has provided a text that directly relates to our modern day lives. This book has helped me pace my life and to encourage a mindful approach. Thank you for this lasting translation.
