Conquest of Mind
Eknath Easwaran
Nilgiri Press, 2001
How to get control of your life
I read this book after reading Easwaran's "Take Your Time", which had introduced me to the idea that controlling your mind was the key to getting your life into balance. Like that book, "Conquest of Mind" is deceptively easy to read, full of stories that lead you ...
