About the Author
Born in India on January 5, 1893, Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the true beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit. After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to twenty-one educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced hundreds of thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of Yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation. Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Sri Daya Mata, one of his earliest and closest disciples and president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India since 1955. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons for home study), the society also oversees temples, retreats, and centers around the world.

excellent
If all the positive thinking self help books and books on success were to be condensed into one, it would probably be this one.

Head and shoulders above 'positive thinking' books
Both the little pocket-size paperback edition and the gorgeous hardback version of this classic have potent places for your spiritual and material life. Yogananda's words ring with the Truth of one who has tested the principles he presents - unlike countless self-promoting think-and-grow-rich authors whose only wealth comes from convincing others that they can become successful while staying lazy. Yogananda validates the classic approach: to be calmly active and actively calm. I keep a copy of conveniently pocketable paperback in almost every jacket's pocket to keep myself on-target in moments of doubt or lethargy. I offer the beautiful hardback as a gift to friends who might not yet know how yoga's simple truths can be transcendently beautiful.

In this little volume you will find... not pie-in-the sky schemes, but carefully orchestrated interweaving of spiritual attunement and practical-minded success in world endeavors. The result is beauty in all activities - underlying godliness in apparently worldly activity.

A most refreshing approach: please share it !

Success through positive thinking and affirmation
I bought this book a year ago for myself and another copy for my loving mother. I have been using the affirmation and inspirational content ever since. Guruji's words are consice on the content of right thinking for creating our dreams come true. In this hardcover edition he talks to us in an inspiring manner about all that we may need to create success in our lives. However, this book is not only about success in the material world, but success in what every yogi holds as his mission and true calling, Self-Realization, a Reunion with God. Aum, Bless Thee
