Start your review of Wanderlust: A Modern Yogi's Guide to Discovering Your Best Self
I’ve had my head in and out of this book for a good three months now and decided to proceed with posting a review because I’ll never really be “done” with it. For me, it’s not a book I can read chronologically. I tried that and was only successful until about page 20 and then I was all over the place. It’s the kind of book that encourages you to open it up, flip through its pages, and discover a place to land. And I just keep doing that over and over. There are a few articles I haven’t yet read,

I felt so white when I picked up this book from the library. Reading this entire thing was the equivalent of looking at yoga Pinterest boards while my soul drank a pumpkin spice latte. It was not what I was expecting at all. The book is absolutely gorgeous; kudos to the designer, but damn the content is crap. The only parts I found useful were the suggested asana routines and the articles about breath work. Otherwise, this book was full of bullshit like "If you hate your job, quit" or "Find your

This is a decent directional book about finding your "true North". As far as that goes, it's pretty good. It is made up of a bunch of very short essay's written by people in and out of the yoga world (Joel Salatin, Moby). I think it's a well rounded resource chock full of ideas and direction. I didn't do all of the practices that are included at the end of each chapter because I found the cuing to be a little confusing, the ones I did try I enjoyed. I liked all the info on the branches of yoga,

Spiritual development meets starbucks in this beautiful but somewhat irritating coffee table adventure, riding the trend
This is a big collection of essays, photographs, prompts, and yoga flows, based on philosophy and sense of self/work/purpose. It's beautiful, thought provoking, and I took several pages of notes, including...

this book! There is so much useful information and advice that I can use in my life. Jeff Krasno's "Wanderlust: A Modern Yogi's Guide to Discovering Your Best Self" is an exceptional, highly-detailed book featuring quotes, yoga positions, recipes, journal pages, and a host of additional practices and advice regarding health, relaxation, de-stressing, etc.
This book has now taken the 'priority' spot on my coffee table.

Bought this at a Wanderlust festival and enjoy the wisdom and visual layout. Perfect gift for aspirational yogis.
I was really inspired by this book! It includes spiritual thoughts to meditate on, personal stories from various people about their yoga journey, and quotes from famous spiritual teachers, philosophers, and yogis. There are meditation guides, holistic food recipes, and asana (yoga pose) sequences to practice. There are journal pages with questions to answer or creative challenges to do, and the pictures are so beautiful! Seriously, the design and photos are the main reason I bought this book! Ju

March 2018 Re-read :)
June 2017 Even though I am reviewing this book (and I'd give it more than five stars if I could), I am by no means finished with it. It's filled with exercises, essays, advice, and fun little tidbits about life and happiness and all the good things. It's something you can read straight through...but then keep on the coffee table or nightstand, picking it up, opening at random, and reading whatever is on the page. It's something I will revisit again and again until the bindin ...more

This is a really wonderful book, from the design to the content. It's full of powerful images, quotes, exercises, and essays about yoga, meditation, food, travel, wellness, and mostly, about making your life exceptional.
I can't say I 'finished it' yet, but I've read through it and completed some exercises and journal entries , but I really see it as an ongoing experience, a book I'll turn to frequently for inspiration and a touchstone for "True North".

Absolutely in love with it. It provides a lot of information with great pics.
Makes a great coffee table book, but it's primarily beautiful images. Not a whole lot of substance here. I enjoy reading through it every now and again, but it's not particularly informative.

It is kind of interesting, but more like a magazine with different articles. Some of the articles were very nice and inspiring such as the meditation of Stephanie Snyder.
Others were insignificant and rather pretentious.
The pictures and designs are beautiful, but sometimes the text therefore is difficult to read.
A book perfect for reading in a waiting room before a fancy doctor’s appointment, but not necessary to have at hand at home.

Beautiful book, gorgeous photographs, fun flows. I enjoyed the way it was broken down into themes and gave writing activities to really immerse yourself in the teachings and make the most of the inspirational methods and lifestyles promoted in this book.
This book was given to me as a gift. It's not something I would have purchased myself, and I loved it. It has beautiful images and loved how I could pick it up, read a few pages and then feel inspired when I put it down.

This was a great book to start 2018 with. I really enjoyed it, and will probably be re-reading it one or twice throughout the year. After finishing it, I realised that I still have a lot of searching to do, but I am definitely on my way to True North.
This is a beautiful book, but it is not the kind you read from start to finish. I don't think I'm really done with it, because it is the kind of book you will pick up whenever you get the chance and take something new away from it.

This book is absolutely gorgeous ! I enjoyed flipping through it as a light read, but the content seemed very scattered and this book is more of a collection of essays on different topics. I found some of the readings very inspirational, but overall the book lacked the depth I was looking for.
I really like this, and it’s one you can dip in and out of and come back to. There are yoga sequences and playlists and articles by TONNES of really interesting people (in the yoga world and other fields) and the articles are all succinct but informative.
This is one of those books that I will purchase (after I borrowed from the library) and keep forever. Full of journal prompts, yoga poses, playlist ideas and so much more.

This is a book I rented from the library and will be purchasing soon, a rare thing. It’s that good and complete. So many awesome Journal pages, ideas, routines. Must read.
I wonder and wunder and wanderlust!
Little scattered
Beautifully Bohemian.
Keep this book on your bedside table. It includes various yoga flows, gratitude lists, meditation practices, ways to lower stress. It really is a reference guide to self.
Loved how this book was set up almost in short stories. The experiences shared were extremely inspirational and the yoga flow examples helped guide me through my own practice.
I sped through this book as quickly as humanly possible while still reading and internalizing every word- Yes, all of ~300 pages on this textbook-sized book. Because it's a library copy and It's close to the return date.
Anyway, it feels like I should have spent longer on it. It seems like it's meant to foster a life change, to be read and implemented over the span of 3-5 years. It contains recipes and poses, 30-day challenges and multiple ideas for places to go all over the world and what to do ...more

The first half of this book was wonderful and inspiring. My favorite sections were those about various meditation techniques, Hindu deities and the chakras. While these sections weren't super thorough, I think they were still good intros to beginners (but not total newbies) to yoga. The photos, illustrations and quotes are all beautiful as well!
