Books
Four books on Indian philosophy, attention, and everyday practice. Each reads the old texts plainly and holds every claim that can be tested against modern psychology, saying where the evidence is strong and where it is thin.
All four are free to read here or download, and each has an audiobook in my own voice, cloned and rendered locally.
New to the subject? Start with The Long Argument, a short map of the six schools. The One Who Notices is about the mind, The One Who Acts about action, and The Practical Yoga Sutras about daily practice.
The Long Argument
A concise map of Hindu philosophy, where six old ways of seeing meet modern evidence
An introduction to six schools of Hindu philosophy: where they agree, where they disagree, and one concrete practice from each.
The One Who Notices
A practical path through the restless mind, where yoga’s eight limbs meet modern psychology
A personal walk through Patanjali’s eight limbs, beginning with a restless mind and the practice of noticing it. Read this for a guided path through attention, habits, and self-observation.
The One Who Acts
A life manual from the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras, held against modern psychology
Acting when you cannot control the result. The focus moves outward to work, decisions, relationships, and loss, with one practice per chapter.
The Practical Yoga Sutras
A manual for a steady mind and a well-lived life
A closer study of all four chapters of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and all eight limbs, connected to breath, attention, and daily life.
