Few in this life escape stress and suffering.

But what if the world were nothing but an illusion?

Speaking joyfully from the intersection of science and spirituality, psychiatrist Akshya Vasudev introduces “bite-sized” wisdom from Vedanta, the ancient spiritual science of India. Expounded by sages more than 7,000 years ago, Vedanta teaches that our bodies, minds, and intellects are but tools to discover the infinite and limitless Self. In warm and intimate prose, Dr. Vasudev shares his personal story of learning to let go of expectations and developing a spiritual practice to fully experience what life has to offer. He shares intimate stories to suggest that right knowledge and its full application leads to awakening.

Dr. Akshya Vasudev is an Indian-born, British-Canadian clinician, researcher, and psychiatrist. He is currently conducting studies on meditation and kriya after he saw remarkable changes occur in his patients and in his own life with such techniques. He invites us all to consider a world where if modern science and this ancient knowledge were to be combined, world awakening might be in reach. Dr. Vasudev lives in London, Ontario with his wife and two daughters.
