The Yoga of Max's Discontent: A Novel

â€œA beautifully rendered epic journey . . . . The novel works on many levels and excels at them all.â€ â€”New York Journal of Books

In this captivating and surprising novel of spiritual discoveryâ€”a No. 1 bestseller in Indiaâ€”a young American travels to India and finds himself tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Max Pzoras is the poster child for the American Dream. The child of Greek immigrants who grew up in a dangerous New York housing project, he triumphed over his upbringing and became a successful Wall Street analyst. Yet on the frigid December night heâ€™s involved in a violent street scuffle, Max begins to confront questions about suffering and mortality that have dogged him since his motherâ€™s death.

His search takes him to the farthest reaches of India, where he encounters a mysterious night market, almost freezes to death on a hike up the Himalayas, and finds himself in an ashram in a drought-stricken village in South India. As Max seeks answers to questions that have bedeviled himâ€”can yogis walk on water and live for 200 years without aging? Can a flesh-and-blood man ever achieve nirvana?â€”he struggles to overcome his skepticism and the pull of family tugging him home. In an ultimate bid for answers, he embarks on a dangerous solitary meditation in a freezing Himalayan cave, where his physical and spiritual endurance is put to its most extreme test.

By turns a gripping adventure storyÂ and a journey of tremendous inner transformation,Â The Yoga of Max's DiscontentÂ is a contemporary take on man's classic quest for transcendence.
