Lorna is a daughter, sister, co-worker and friend. At times each one of these titles and the people that make her these titles causes her stress. Throughout the book she tries out techniques to use to center herself and find more of the good in each situation. At times, her struggles were resolved quite easily in comparison to the "real" world interactions the reader would encounter.
A piece of fiction that made me reflect on my daily interactions with co-workers and friends, this doesn't happen often. I was engrossed in Lorna's battle with becoming more centered, yet having to interact with co-workers that caused stress and a mother that pushed every button imaginable. I took her struggle to heart and was able to start thinking about the techniques she used and try to place them in my every day life. Although, this wasn't a self-help book - this book can help the reader find some of the things that she does useful to their everyday life.
I would recommend this book to those who have always seen the yogi existence as something that is too big to be achieved, but instead in parts some of her exercises can be incorporated into one's life. We could all find a little positivity and yogi in our lives.
