false 139360 3 Despite skeptical jibes from his well-meaning friends, Stephen Cope set off for a four-month yoga retreat in rural Massachusetts. Ten years later, he is still there. A psychotherapist left in the lurch after a long-term relationship, Cope was experiencing the same deep questioning of life that he had witnessed so often in his practice. His self-prescribed antidote was to pursue a life of contemplation and inner discovery that he had felt drawn to for some time. <I>Yoga and the Quest for the True Self</I> is Cope's chronicle of self-discovery. Cope is at turns frank in describing his own obstacles and epiphanies, brotherly in relating anecdotes of friends and patients on similar quests, and clinical in his trenchant psychological summations of why we find ourselves estranged and how yoga and meditation bring us back to clear awareness. Like Mark Epstein's <I>Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart</I>, <I>Yoga and the Quest for the True Self</I> is a milestone in the melding of Eastern and Western methods of personal transformation. <I>--Brian Bruya</I> 134337 5 9 2000 Yoga and the Quest for the True Self total:142|5:44|4:60|3:31|2:6|1:1| 142 566 230 28 4 0 false false Mon Apr 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 11 13:47:46 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 22:08:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 11 13:42:12 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 15 21:10:52 -0800 2008
