For more than three millennia, yoga sages systematically explored the essential questions of our human existence: What are the root causes of suffering, and how can we achieve freedom and happiness? What would it be like to function at the maximum potential of our minds, bodies, and spirits? What is an optimal human life? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNowhere have their discoveries been more brilliantly distilled than in a short-but famously difficult-treatise called the Yogasutra. This revered text lays out the entire path of inner development in remarkable detail-ranging from practices that build character and mental power to the highest reaches of spiritual realization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Stephen Cope unlocks the teachings of the Yogasutra by showing them at work in the lives of a group of friends and fellow yoga students who are confronting the full modern catastrophe of careers, relationships, and dysfunctional family dynamics. Interweaving their daily dilemmas with insights from modern psychology, neuroscience, religion, and philosophy, he shows the astonishing relevance and practicality of this timeless psychology of awakening. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeavened with wit and passion, \u003cb\u003eThe Wisdom of Yoga\u003c\/b\u003e is a superb companion and guide for anyone seeking enhanced creativity, better relationships, and a more ethical and graceful way of living in the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Cope is a psychotherapist, senior Kripalu yoga teacher, and author of \u003cb\u003eYoga and the Quest for the True Self\u003c\/b\u003e.
