Yoga, Work & Life: Indian Wisdom for Modern Times Kindle Edition

by Shruti Bakshi (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
The modern conundrum: we’re the most affluent and comfortable generation in history but we’re also struggling more than ever with anxiety and depression. In this easy-to-read guide full of ancient wisdom that is seamlessly woven into modern themes, many of the issues we face in work and life are dealt with using the insight and tools of yoga.

Yoga, Work & Life, a collection of personal essays and reflections by Shruti Bakshi, presents some of the profound wisdom of yogis, saints, seers and ancient texts in a simple and relatable way. The book provides an introductory overview of yoga and meditation and introduces the spiritual wisdom of India as applicable to different aspects of work and life - referencing the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to those of spiritual masters of more recent times.

Yoga, Work & Life takes a piercing look at many of the issues we face in modern times - from trying to find our purpose to deciding the right basis for action. It is a must-read for anyone with a curious and open mind.

About the Author:

Shruti Bakshi has spent several years working in finance in London and Paris and witnessed first hand, the stresses and strains plaguing workers in today’s global cities. Her understanding of both the West and the East as well as her experience of both the business and spiritual areas of life gives her the unique ability to present profound concepts in an easily understandable, effective and engaging way.

Shruti holds an MPhil in Finance from Cambridge University where she was a Shell scholar and also holds an MBA from INSEAD business school (France). After a decade living in Europe, she returned to India in 2016 to delve more deeply into yoga and spirituality, studying the yogic systems, ancient Indian culture and the spiritual teachings of various gurus and also spending time in some of India’s ashrams. It was during this time that she released her debut novel From Dior to Dharma based on her own experience of outgrowing material goals and her personal spiritual journey. The novel received instant acclaim and interest from national book clubs.

In 2017 Shruti launched the LivingWise Project (www.livingwiseproject.com) as a platform for sharing wisdom to help people lead more conscious lives.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The book reads more like a quick blog though the contents of the book ...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The book reads more like a quick blog though the contents of the book are indeed very "deep".
    It would have been nice to see some pictures in the book as well.
    I like some of her blogs at thelivingwiseproject.com .
    Except for brief introduction at beginning, it is not clear how the author transformed from a high flying executive to a Sadhaka.
    I found myself nodding to many of what she said , eg that our society is overly masculine but each of the topic she writes upon could have had a bit more depth.
