Everyone's looking for happiness, but very few really know where to find it. Despite what advertisers have been telling us all our lives, the answer to finding true happiness isn't in having more. It turns out the answer is much simplerand profoundthan we could have imagined.
In Yoga and the Pursuit of Happiness, readers will discover that lasting happiness is already at their fingertipsin the small, everyday moments inherently infused with purpose and meaningand yoga can show them how to find it. The philosophy of yoga boils down to one fundamental process: overcoming
suffering by coming to know ourselves, and aligning our actions with our own intrinsic sense of spiritual purpose. And yoga gives us the tools to address two basic existential questions: Who am I? What should I do?
In this thought-provoking, challenging, and entertaining guide, celebrated yoga instructor Sam Chase blends ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga Sutras with modern psychology to show readers how to deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them, end the cycle of materialism and greed that can get in the way of cultivating stillness of mind, and achieve lasting happiness and joy.
Sam Chase is co-owner of a Yoga to the People studio in New York City, where he leads weekly yoga programs for everyday people and diverse organizations, including New York University and the United Nations. He received his master's degree at Harvard's A.R.T. Institute, as well as certificates in yoga and positive psychology from the Kripalu Center. Chase resides in Brooklyn, NY.
