"If a cult-of-personality is dependent upon widespread propaganda and deception, then, the problem with yoga is not just the teachers that fall susceptible to the lure of power. Rather, the problem is that people believe the lie that yoga is somehow categorically different than all other systems. The reason people believe this lie is because the charismatic leaders discourage critical thinking in favor of submission and acceptance, which is reinforced by the benefits that come from being in the good graces and high favor of the leader. Further, because the followers have raised the leaders to such a high position, thoughtlessness now permeates a community that could be vibrantly creative, a community that could significantly contribute to the world in general." ~ Jennifer Richard

The Imposters Now On Amazon
Yes, the website-to-end-all-websites, Amazon, now lists my book. Which is very nice. I hope you will want to buy a copy and read it. And if you prefer your books digital, the e-book will be appearing shortly. But the paperback is so beautiful!

Yes, the second memoir, The Imposters, is out! It ends six months before The Guru Looked Good begins and, in a way, is very much part of that same story.
I hope you will read it. You can get a paperback copy here: The Imposters
It will be available as an e-book within a few weeks, and also on Amazon.

Radio Interview on The Merry Monk
I really like this radio interview -- scroll down a bit and skip the first 5 minutes. Then there's alot of good stuff about what it was like in Siddha Yoga, cults in general, family, art... Hats off to Erik Guzman of the Merry Monk for initiating the whole venture http://themerrymonk.com/?p=4151
