Mind and Self: Patañjali's Yoga Sutra and Modern Science

Mind and Self is a new translation and commentary on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra framed by new findings from neuroscience and physics that throw light on the counterintuitive workings of the mind. It brings in evidence from other early Yoga classics such as the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Vasistha, and Tantra to place the text in context and explain some of its most esoteric ideas.
