Description:
In Yoga and the Quest for the True Self, psychotherapist and yoga teacher Stephen Cope explores yoga as a path of self-understanding that extends beyond physical practice. Drawing on yoga philosophy, psychology, and lived experience, he considers how spiritual practice meets ordinary challenges involving identity, relationships, loss, and purpose. This Bantam trade paperback contains the complete text of the original hardcover edition.

Why We Love This Book:
Cope writes about yoga as a way to engage more fully with everyday life. His connection to the Kripalu Center in the Berkshires also gives this thoughtful book a local resonance for Deb’s Book Paradise.

Stephen Cope is a psychotherapist, yoga teacher, scholar, and bestselling author who connects traditional yoga teachings with Western psychology and everyday questions about identity and purpose.
