One Simple Thing

A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life

By: Eddie Stern, Deepak Chopra - foreword

Narrated by: Eddie Stern

Yoga was created as a science for liberation, but in modern times it is used by many to improve physical and mental health, helping us become more productive at work, more caring in relationships, more responsible contributors to society, and better inhabitants of this planet. If yoga does accomplish all that―as many practitioners report―how exactly does yoga do it? How does yoga work?

Believe it or not, the answers lie in how the human body and mind function. Eddie Stern’s One Simple Thing: A New Look at the Science of Yoga and How It Can Transform Your Life explains from both a yogic and a scientific perspective how the human nervous system is wired. It describes the mechanics taking place beneath the surface of our bodies and shows how we can consciously use yogic practices to direct and change our lives in positive ways.

Drawing on modern neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and decades of practice and teaching, Eddie Stern’s One Simple Thing, with a foreword from Deepak Chopra, explains how what we do affects who we become, and reveals how a steady routine of physical movements, activities, and attitudes are able to transform not just our bodies but our brain functions and emotions, and how we experience life.

Clear, Deep, Kind

Eddie Stern does a magnificent job in this book synthesizing Raja Yoga for the contemporary western student. This book is a valuable resource for young and experienced practitioners alike. I truly loved it and will return to it for many years to come.

I've learned so much.

I've read many yoga texts, but this is by far the most compelling and understandable. I'm loving every minute.

Insights and Epiphanies

A great exploration of traditional yoga with a scientific angle. This book gave much inspiration and insights for the world of yoga and yoga philosophy.

More than what I expected

Rich knowledge and information from ancient and modern scientific researches to answer why. If anyone is looking the answer why we practice yoga and meditation, this book is a must. You will get explanations.

A Pleasant Surprise

Nice combination of current scientific evidence and yoga 's long spiritual history and tradition. I was pleasantly surprised by both the accessibility and substantive depth of this book. Highly recommended.
