  Celebrated yogi Reema Datta adapts her world-renowned 12-week course into book format: an accessible and practical method for attaining mental and emotional well-being, physical health, and spiritual nourishment that combines the ancient wisdom and practice of yoga with cutting-edge science and solutions to the challenges of modern life 
    
  Born into a family of yogis and reared in India and the US, Reema Datta has been steeped in yogic tradition her entire life. She learned that the wisdom of yoga provides precise guidance on how to create a strong, stable, and resilient mind, but when she looked at the current state of yoga, she mainly saw a focus on the physical aspects of postures and breathwork. She set out to change that approach and created The Yogi’s Way, a holistic curriculum to help readers experience lasting peace, connection to purpose, and freedom from the mind’s destructive tendencies. 
    
  Datta’s 12-week course is based on the in-person curriculum she has used with her celebrity students, their families, and thousands of other followers. It offers a specific sequence of movement, meditation, visualization, breathwork, awareness practices, and wisdom to cultivate emotional resilience and enable readers to face and move through fear, anger, shame, anxiety, depression, attachment, jealousy, and loneliness. Written from the perspective of a woman, the book offers a welcome alternative to the tradition of ancient texts and methods that largely represent male perspectives. 
    
  The weekly lessons and practices, rooted in yogic wisdom, cutting-edge science, and the realities of modern life, include: 
    
  • an exploration of the foundations of The Yogi’s Way: motivation, stories, choices, vision, and nourishment 
  • the twelve Pillars: community, breath, healthy thoughts, mantra, meditation, visualization, movement, rest, journaling, communication, nutrition, and service 
  • the Heal Yourself Now™ yoga sequence, which can be practiced in a variety of settings 
    
  By following The Yogi’s Way, readers will do more than build a strong mind and body—they will awaken their creative potential and learn to follow and fulfill their own life purpose.

  In turns beloved and reviled, twentieth century art, painter, filmmaker, and designer Salvador Dalí set Europe and the United States ablaze with his uncompromising genius, sexual sadism, and flirtations with megalomania. His shocking behavior and work frequently alienated critics; his views were so outrageous, even prominent Surrealists tried to ostracize him. Still, every morning he experienced "an exquisite joy—the joy of being Salvador Dalí," and, through a remarkable talent that invited bewilderment, anger, and adoration, rose to unprecedented levels of fame—forever shifting the landscape of the art world and the nature of celebrity itself. 
   
   
   
  In this stunning volume, noted art historians Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown discuss the historical, social, and political conditions that shaped Dalí's work, identify the impact of Modern as well as Old Master art, and present an unflinching view of the master's personal relationships and motivations. With their deeply compelling narrative, Isbouts and Brown uncover how Dalí's visual wit and enduring cult of personality still impacts fashion, literature, and art, from Andy Warhol to Lady Gaga, and seeks to answer why, in an age of shock and awe, Dalí's art still manages to distress, perplex, and entertain.
