5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting and insightful, August 3, 2004

This review is from: The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi (Paperback)

I became interested in yoga a couple of years ago and have gone to classes, retreats, read books, etc. This is one of the more interesting books I have read on the topic of yoga.
I love that it really explores the power of breath and discusses techniques to harness prana. Many recent books tend to skim over this aspect of yoga, but Haanel really devoted himself to this very powerful practice. He also explained the eight aspects of yoga and how they combine to form a a powerful way of life.
I recommend this book to those who want a deeper insight into yoga, its background, and its practice. Although it sometimes comes across as dated, I feel it has a wealth of information not readily found in many recent yoga books. Definately worth the price!

This review is from: The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi (Paperback)

It is a known fact that the yogi's in India and in the Far East are perhaps some of the most miraculous people. They devote their lives to the Law of Attraction even though it may be called a different name. Charles Haanel does a spectacular job at giving a glimpse into the yogi's lives and dedication. This is a great book and I would also reccommend a book by Robert Collier entitled, The Amazing Secrets of the Masters of the Far East. w w w . theexecutiveleadershipcoach . c o m

This review is from: The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi (Paperback)

I have been practicing Raja Yoga for years. Haanel discusses techniques that will change your life, bring wealth, happiness, and good health. What I don't understand is why some of the great souls like Ramakrishna, and Vivekananda died so young. Maybe they should have read this book. Really, it is interesting reading, and well researched. I'm not sure about the techniques he describes.
