The Gita for Everyday Life

THE GITA FOR EVERYDAY LIFE Timeless Wisdom for Modern Living A Chapter-by-Chapter Guide to the Bhagavad Gita, >Every person who opens a book like this one arrives carrying something -- a quiet worry, an unresolved decision, a season of change, or simply a curiosity about a text that has shaped so much of human thought for thousands of years. Whatever brought you here, you are welcome to take from these pages exactly what is useful to you right now, and to leave the rest for another time. This book was written with the conviction that ancient wisdom earns its keep only when it can meet us in the middle of our actual lives -- in traffic, in difficult conversations, in quiet moments of doubt at two in the morning -- and not only in temples, classrooms, or quiet retreats. The Gita itself was spoken on a battlefield, not in a monastery, and this book has tried to honor that spirit throughout.
