| Every Body Yoga: Let Go of Fear, Get on the Mat, Love Your Body by Jessamyn StanleyWhether you're a beginner or an experienced yoga practitioner, you'll find inspiration and information in Every Body Yoga. Yoga teacher Jessamyn Stanley offers how-to directions, reasons to try yoga even if your body doesn't fit the stereotypical yoga image, and reassurance. She covers the history of yoga, explains asana, an important yoga posture, and provides guidance on choosing a yoga practice. Colloquially illustrating her get-started chapters with personal anecdotes ("A Chick-fil-A Bandit Walks into Weight Watchers"), she ends with a section titled "Is It Really That Simple?" Apparently so, since Library Journal says that this "uplifting volume makes yoga approachable." |

| Stuffocation: Why We've Had Enough of Stuff and Need Experience More Than Ever by James WallmanIf you're living in a country with a market-driven economy, chances are that you have more possessions than you need, and they may be getting in the way of experiencing your life. In Stuffocation, journalist James Wallman reviews anthropological and economic studies that reveal the problems with first-world materialistic culture. He describes solutions such as minimalism and the Walden alternative, but concludes that cutting back on things isn't an adequate response: rather, we should emphasize experience over ownership. He even adds information on how to become "experientialists." For another approach to living a fuller but less "stuffed" life, try Sustainable Happiness, edited by Sarah van Gelder. |
