3 books I HIGHLY recommend… (share yours in the comments!)
I get asked all the time what my top book recommendations are… I went to the book store recently and took a bunch of photos of my favorite books and am thinking of making a guide to the top 20 or 50 books I recommend For now, here are 3 that are in my top 10… 1. Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda This is BY FAR one of my favorite books of all time. Back in the early 1900’s Yogananda (the author) came from India to America to connect the East and the West This book was written by him and shares all the experiences and lessons he learned on his way to enlightenment He met enlightened Yogis who would read people's minds, levitate, were sleepless, could materialize and de-materalize, bring people back from the dead and more I know this sounds crazy… but if you read the book you will see that the author who was also enlightened comes with authenticity and something about it resonates The premise of what I have learned from the book is that life is a cosmic dream we think is real… The goal is to awaken from the cosmic dream and to realize your connection to God (the universe, the divine etc) I meditate more and live a much more pure life since re reading this book again and again (I’m on my 3rd time reading and read it every night before bed) Word of advice, some people think the first 80-100 pages are hard to get through in the sense that it is slower to start My best friend started to read it years ago and put it down due to that… Now he picked it back up due to my and his wife's insistence and now he is STOKED and more into it that I would have imagined This book has influenced SO many people over the years… the Beatles, Elvis, Steve Jobs and the list goes on Steve Jobs read the book every year the last 40 years of his life and it was the ONLY book in the ipads handed out at his funeral Also when Yogananda died he left his body consciously on stage in front of 1,000 plus people and for 30 days his body did not decompose This is verified by many people I know it sounds like a fairy tale lol
