ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
AYURVEDA AND THE MIND is perhaps the first book published in the West that explores specifically the psychological aspect of this great system. The book explores how to heal our minds on all levels from the subconscious to the superconscious, along with the role of diet, impressions, mantra, meditation, yoga and many other methods to create wholeness. "Opens the doors to a new energetic psychology," says Dr. Deepak Chopra, M.D.

"This is an EXCELLENT book. Abstract and very deep truths are lucidly conveyed without sacrificing intricacy or impact. If you are interested in psychology, spirituality, or Ayurveda, this is a wonderful, unique book. Dr. Frawley is extremely thorough and brings much integrity to his work. This book may be a bit much for some, but those truly interested in furthering their awareness will find many treasures in these pages. If you are looking for an intro to Ayurveda, start with something else, like Dr. Frawley's "Yoga and Ayurveda.""

"I'm somewhat less excited than the other readers of this fine book. It's a nice introduction to ayurvedic concepts, but it's a bit general and broad--and I'm far from being an expert. Ultimately, it just doesn't seem very useful. But, of course, anything by David F. is going to be well written and informative."

"I used to think Auryveda was all about herbs and bad-tasting concoctions ...not so!
In this book David presents the Auryvedic veiw of man. It encompasses not just the physical body (sharir, in Sanskrit), but also the outer "sense-oriented" mind (manas) and inner "feeling-oriented" mind (chitta). Just as the physical body's well-being is determined by a regimen of diet and exercise, so too, is the well-being of one's outer and inner mind determined by diet and exercise. The only difference is that "diet" and "exercise" for the mind isn't, say, food and aerobics, but something a lot more subtle.
One can go through life ignoring all of life's profund questions. But, one cannot live life ignoring one's body and mind. This book helps contend with those "devils" :-). There's something for everyone."
