Awake in the World: Teachings from Yoga and Buddhism for Living an Engaged Life - Softcover

"Whether at the farmers' market in New York City's Union Square, on a snowy retreat in Northern Ontario, inside a Zen poem or yogic text, or talking about money as a spiritual practice, traveling with Stone refreshes and inspires, and like any good journey, brings us right back home--in the body, in the world."--Inquiring Mind
