Good Reads for the Yogi and Beyond!

Hi all!

Is anyone looking for a new book to read – maybe related to yoga, mindfulness, meditation, coping with emotions, healthy eating/living, cultivating character, and profiles of people who showed courage in the face of difficult circumstances?

If the answer is no – may I suggest “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn – great fiction read that is totally unrelated to any of the above topics!

If the answer is yes – please see a list of books below that may pique your interest!  If you have suggestions for adding to or revising this list, we would love to hear from you in the comments!  Any ideas that enrich the knowledge available to the community are always welcome and encouraged.
