Summary
We can do more with this life. We all know it, we all wish for it, but just how to do itthat eludes us. In his new book, A Life Worth Breathing, internationally renowned yoga teacher and spiritual philosopher Max Strom shows us the way. His groundbreaking book reaches past expected dogma in a language that is vital, inspired, and accessible. Strom leads us on a journey of self-discovery as we excavate our past in order to have a better understanding of our present.
According to Max Strom, We live in fear of terrorism but in actuality the most devastating terrorism comes from within us as we sabotage ourselves.” With practical techniques, A Life Worth Breathing offers us a path to transformation with visionary insights on forgiveness, gratitude and self-empowerment. The teachings are rooted in Yoga, Sufism and Eastern philosophy, but make no mistake, this is not just another yoga book of postures, it is a guidebook for living.
A Life Worth Breathing teaches us that by healing our past emotional wounds, silencing the inner critic that cripples us, and cultivating a yoga and breathing practice, we can elevate ourselves from the mindset of a reactionary victim to a higher level of awareness and empowerment. With these life skills we can achieve our true destiny, that of a fully integrated soul living an authentic life of meaning, success and joy. A life worth living, a life worth breathing.

Beautiful
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the underlying principles of yoga - but as well as the value of the content in its own right, I would thoroughly recommend the experience of actually listening rather than reading. I couldn't wait to get back to it at every opportunity.
What did you like best about this story?
The chapter on kindness is particularly inspiring, and the entire book is laced with compassionate and gentle wisdom.
What about Max Strom’s performance did you like?
Max Strom reads his own work well, with a wonderfully calming and soothing voice that never once becomes irritating. Listening to this book is like spending time with a very loving and reassuring friend.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I don't think this book could be made into a film.

if you have one last credit, buy this
I had one membership credit left and I used it for this amazing book. It was a gamble because I knew nothing about the author or his work, but I think I will be rereading this one for a long while to come.

Really Annoying
I am really interested in Eastern traditions and thought this book would enlighten me about Yoga. It claims not be about the cult of Yoga then goes on to make Yoga into a cult that westerners use to make themselves feel a little more virtuous and self righteous. It discussesYoga in a pseudo spiritual way that is offensive to the Eastern philosophy it originates from. I learnt absolutely nothings from this book about the Eastern philosophy of Yoga and the chapter in the book explaining why we should be kind and respectful to each other, including mere minions, has so little to do with Eastern philosophy and everything to do with the backward culture of the USA. If you need to get info to short circuit your one-upmanship about Yoga at your next yuppy BBQ then this is your book. If you are truly interested in Eastern religions then listen to the brilliant Alan Watts books or Joseph Goldstein. Sorry to be so harsh but this book made me very very angry which is the exact opposite of what it should have made me feel. I hate this western pseudo Eastern cult nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with the original teachings and sadly this book is a prime example of why most of the people I know who practice Yoga are still profoundly unhappy people.

amazingly insightful and wise
loved this book and the narration so much. simple translations of this oceanic practice so that you can embrace Yoga beyond the corners of a mat. the breathing practices and exercises and everyday suggestions are immense. one of the best books I have ever read.

A lifetime of wisdom
On the face of it, an advertisement for starting a Yoga practice, however at a deeper level, the wise teachings of a deeply spiritual man.
