The Yoga of Max's Discontent, (Paperback)

<b><b>"A beautifully rendered epic journey . . . . The novel works on many levels and excels at them all." --<i>New York Journal of Books</i></b> </b><p><b>In this captivating and surprising novel of spiritual discovery--a No. 1 bestseller in India--a young American travels to India and finds himself tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually.</b> </p><p>Max Pzoras is the poster child for the American Dream. The child of Greek immigrants who grew up in a dangerous New York housing project, he triumphed over his upbringing and became a successful Wall Street analyst. Yet on the frigid December night he's involved in a violent street scuffle, Max begins to confront questions about suffering and mortality that have dogged him since his mother's death. </p><p>His search takes him to the farthest reaches of India, where he encounters a mysterious night market, almost freezes to death on a hike up the Himalayas, and finds himself in an ashram in a drought-stricken village in South India. As Max seeks answers to questions that have bedeviled him--can yogis walk on water and live for 200 years without aging? Can a flesh-and-blood man ever achieve nirvana?--he struggles to overcome his skepticism and the pull of family tugging him home. In an ultimate bid for answers, he embarks on a dangerous solitary meditation in a freezing Himalayan cave, where his physical and spiritual endurance is put to its most extreme test. </p><p>By turns a gripping adventure story and a journey of tremendous inner transformation, <i>The Yoga of Max's Discontent</i> is a contemporary take on man's classic quest for transcendence.</p>
