New PN: How to Be Happy All the Time
 |
by Paramahansa Yogananda |
“Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake. If material poverty is to be avoided, spiritual poverty is to be abhorred! It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.”YOGANANDA |
FROM THE BOOK“This book offers you simple yet profound secrets for bringing happiness into your life in all circumstances.
The thoughts are engaging, practical, and deeply inspiring.
The author, Paramahansa Yogananda, came to the United States from India in 1920, bringing Americans the teachings and techniques of yoga, the ancient science of soul-awakening. He was the first master of yoga to make his home in the West, and his Autobiography of a Yogi quickly became a worldwide bestseller, fueling the awakening fascination with Eastern teachings in the West.
Yoga is the ancient science of redirecting one’s energies toward spiritual awakening. In addition to bringing Americans the most practical and effective techniques for meditation, Yogananda applied these principles to all areas of life. He showed people how to approach life from a center of inner peace and happiness.”

Brian's Notes
This is the sixth Note I’ve created on one of Yogananda’s books.
Check them out: Living Fearlessly, How to Be a Success, The Law of Success, How to Awaken Your True Potential, and To Be Victorious in Life.
As we discuss in those Notes, Yogananda was one of the twentieth century’s leading spiritual teachers. He was an inspiration to both Steve Jobs (who gave his friends a copy of his Autobiography as the parting gift at his funeral!) to Michael Singer (who dedicated his first book, Three Essays on Universal Law to him).
This book is tiny but packed with inspiring wisdom. It’s impossible (for me!) to read one of his books and not get inspired. I’m excited to share some of my favorite Big Ideas and help you apply that wisdom to your life TODAY, so let’s jump straight in!
