Yogi Shanti Desai is a hidden treasure. Anyone interested in yoga, self-realization and personal transformation would greatly benefit by reading this yoga master's writings. In his latest book Personal to Global Transformation, he cuts straight through all the illusions we have about the world and ourselves. Step by step, he inspires and illustrates how anyone can obtain, practice and apply spiritual wisdom in everyday life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and especially appreciated the ending stories where he recounts and analyzes with humor and honesty his own personal experiences over 40 years of teaching and living in the US.

As with all of Yogi Shanti Desai's books, I find this book to the point and deeply inspirational. His straightforward approach assumes his readers are intelligent sensible people. "Personal to Global Transformation" give practical guidance to all areas of spiritual life and reminds us that if we can create our own reality, we can work together to create a reality of peace and bliss around us. I love that Yogi Shanti reaches across all faiths to teach the basic truths that all major religions embrace. He makes us take a hard look at human nature when he discusses the many pitfalls of the spiritual movement and our own motivations. This book is both hopeful and humbling. I recommend it to anyone who is truly wants to accept and love this life and feel the power of something greater beyond this life in their heart.
