This book is one of the best, simple and full of clarity collection of insights and wisdom. Even if you are not familiar with other writings that points out the same perennial knowledge, this is "a journey into ourselves", as Carlos like to say about his own book. Simply wonderful!
Carlos approach to the Vede's is very warm, calm, personal and full of compassion. He explains gently some of the learnings about observing, changing and controlling the body and the mind in order that one get closer to the present, to sat-cit-ananda. His perspective and approach to the learning of Yoga are a good lecture or remainder to anyone in search of a more blissful and loving life. He makes the emptiness looks like a good place to start your path towards a personal grow into discovering of who you really are.
Carlos' book "About presence" is an excellent starting point into true spirituality. Without any esoteric slang, just with clear and simple ideas, he manage to express the fundamental concepts that define our reality, as it trully is.
I recommend this book for anyone interested to understand our place in this world.
Great book. It's an evergreen, so it will forever stay on my shelf to remind me to be present and enjoy what I have, the simple things. You can also read the notes on yogaofpresence.com
