unfortunately the book I ordered (used) fell apart after two days I had it, a bit disappointing. I ordered used not because of the price difference (hardly any), but because I don’t like to consume. Maybe you should sell the used books a bit cheaper and not class them as “in very good condition”, when they are not.
Thanks,
Tia

I have two other versions/interpretations of the yoga sutras. I was actually quit surpised by sutra 2 of this book. He refers to the “chitta vritti” as “mind stuff. ” Mind stuff? Please. How about a real explanation. Definately written for an American audience whom he regards as very simple. I read a couple more sutras but really couldn’t take it as it was just ridiculous.
If you are the type of person who would be happy being told that there is “mind stuff” taking place inside your brain and it is far too complicated for you to understand then by all means buy this book. Otherwise, try the Four Chapters of Freedom. It offers much more thorough explainations and it treats its audience with respect.
