Misadventures of a Garden State Yogi My Humble Quest to Heal My Colitis, Calm My ADD, and Find the Key to Happiness

As a college freshman suffering from debilitating anxiety, ulcerative colitis, and ADD, Brian Leaf stumbled into an elective yoga class in 1989—a time when men rarely participated in the practice. Discovering that yoga provided relief where traditional medicine had failed, Leaf embarked on a two-decade quest for health and meaning. His journey took him across the country to various yoga studios, Ayurvedic physicians, and swamis. Part memoir and part self-help guide, this humorous and irreverent tale follows Leaf's evolution from a stressed-out New Jersey student to a yoga teacher and holistic practitioner. Along the way, he shares his 'eight keys to happiness' and demonstrates how the ancient practices of yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda can be applied to modern life to heal both body and mind.
