I got this book because it was the book chosen for a book club I belong to. I wasn't sure what to expect but I wound up loving this story! For anyone wanting to change their life and live a more positive life and get away from the negative so prevalent in today's society this is a great story with great wisdom and practices to implement in your own life.

Wonderful and magical piece that speaks to the need for us to slow down and focus within ourselves, focus on the present moment. If we always compare who we are, who we want to be, where we want to be, is life all about this constant rat race and suffering? Focus on reflecting inwards teaches you to be kind not only to yourself but to others. But you can only do that if you slow down.

Julian’s experience with the Yogis revives a long-lost sense of purpose in him, and he finds himself reinvigorated after his time in the mountains. When he returns home he shares his wisdom, as the Sages had instructed, with his new protégé, John. This relationship develops into the main dialogue of the story.

The plot begins with a successful attorney, Julian Mantle, as he journeys on a search for meaning after suffering a heart attack in the courtroom. Mantle sells his Ferrari and discovers a group of sages in the Himalayas. These sages, the Sages of Sivana, especially the Yogi Raman, adopt Julian as a student and entrust him with wisdom, which they insist he should pass on to others when he returns home.

This is a soft but potent introduction into the world of mind mastery, and living aware and e lightened. It’s scratches the surface and does a good job of giving a baseline understanding in a fun read.

8. "Never miss twice. When you forget to do a habit, make sure you get back on track immediately." We all will have days where we fall off the bandwagon and our habits go in reverse. Well, that's okay for one day. Don't let it happen twice. Get back on track as soon as possible. (And, yes, sometimes we miss a habit two days in row. Just don't let it become three days...)
