Items related to Yoga for People Who Can't be Bothered to Do it
This isn't Geoff Dyer's self-help book. Rather it is a book about how the author himself could do with a little help. In funny and thought-provoking prose, he describes a life most of us would love to live - and how much that life frustrates and aggravates him. From Amsterdam to Cambodia, from Rome to Indonesia, from New Orleans to Libya, from Detroit to Ko Pha-Ngan, Dyer finds himself floundering in a sea of grievances and loses himself in moments of transcendental calm: a wonky quest for peak experiences that leads, ultimately, to the Zone - the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where he loses himself in the Burning Man experience.

Review:
'A freewheeling, bawdy, elegant tour of a brilliant mind' -- Steve Martin
'The funniest book I have read for a very long time. It may only be April, but I already have my book of the year' -- Independent on Sunday, William Sutcliffe
‘Delightfully original...Dyer’s writing brims with off-beat insights that had me chuckling hours later' -- Tony Horwitz, New York Times Book Review
‘He is assuredly among the funniest writers alive...a bohemian travel narrative as internal as any by Kerouac’ -- David Kipen, San Francisco Chronicle
‘If Dyer weren’t so prolific, it would be tempting to crown him Slacker Laureate. A restless polymath...irresistibly funny' -- The New Yorker
‘If Jack Kerouac had lived in the era of routine jet travel, he might have written something like Yoga’ -- Time Out New York
