Publisher's Synopsis
A Joy-Filled Amazement is a wild and enthralling tale that proves that anything is possible. The book begins at the lowest moments of the author's life-penniless and mind-ravaged, just back from Vietnam, living in the hold of an anchovy boat. In an inexplicable encounter, he meets Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the spiritual leader who brought Transcendental Meditation to the West made famous by the Beatles. The great Indian guru enthralls him with a vision of the life he longs for and the way to get there. The story is an eight-year odyssey, to Maharishi's ashram, to Switzerland, to India, and finally to enlightenment. The journey is complex, deeply spiritual, and genuinely captivating.
