Wanderlust: A Modern Yogi's Guide to Discovering Your Best Self by Jeff Krasno, Sarah Herrington, Nicole Lindstrom
4.0

I was really inspired by this book! It includes spiritual thoughts to meditate on, personal stories from various people about their yoga journey, and quotes from famous spiritual teachers, philosophers, and yogis. There are meditation guides, holistic food recipes, and asana (yoga pose) sequences to practice. There are journal pages with questions to answer or creative challenges to do, and the pictures are so beautiful! Seriously, the design and photos are the main reason I bought this book! Just gorgeous through the whole book.

There are, of course, a few pages with explanations about Hindu tradition and even Buddhist teachings, but I just skipped those and enjoyed the wisdom in the rest of the book. Most truth, like being kind and responsible and valuing spiritual things, will apply to every life, no matter what your belief system.
Truth is Truth, Wisdom is Wisdom, no matter what mouth it comes from.
So I was able to embrace most of the spiritual teachings in this book, since they line up with the same basic teachings about kindness, etc., in Christianity.
