“This is a book for our times. Everyone today is ‘in business’ by virtue of what we each have to navigate to succeed in this world. By integrating the wisdom of both Yoga and Ayurveda, the authors have offered modern readers a tried and true path to success by living in harmony with Nature. The contemporary perspectives and direct lineage teachings of these two successful businessmen/yogis are priceless. This is a resource to turn to again and again on the path to lasting health and true wealth.”

“My research suggests that negotiation success is enhanced by mindfully aligning emotions and genuinely drawing on your leadership strengths across roles, being yourself, in collaborative and competitive conversations at work. Vish Chatterji and Yogrishi Vishvketu share wisdom, experiences, and practices to help you tune into yourself and others so that you can be fully present, centered, and grounded in business.”

“Yogrishi Vishvketu and Vish Chatterji have written an excellent book that makes the ancient wisdom tradition of yoga accessible to a modern audience who may be engaged in the world of business and technology. They are ideally suited to write this book, given Vish has a background in business, technology entrepreneurship, and executive coaching. Yogrishi is well steeped in a traditional lineage of yoga teachers based out of Rishikesh, which I often think of as the world capital or Silicon Valley of yoga traditions. The result is this book that takes an ancient, sophisticated, and very practical wisdom tradition and makes it relevant to a modern-day professional audience that is interested in incorporating different elements of the vast philosophy of yoga into their lives and finding success, meaning, and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives.”
