I was hesitant to get this book just because there was so much hype leading up to the release date and incessant spam email from Pedram Shojai and his contemporaries telling me why I need to buy his book to improve my life right now. It smelled like a scam, quite honestly. I've never seen such heavy direct marketing for a book.It's not a scam.The Urban Monk is based on the premise that our attempts as westerners to achieve peace through eastern mind/body systems doesn't work because those practices were developed by ascetics and don't integrate well with modern lifestyles. Take yoga for example. Traditionally the aim of yoga is to achieve spiritual enlightenment through self-deprivation (nearly vegan diet, giving up non-necessities) as well as physical pain and discipline attended to daily. People have attempted to fit yoga into modern lifestyles by throwing out the entire mental/spiritual/discipline component and turning it into a yuppie exercise program that you do 3x/week with some annoying peer pressure to become a morally superior vegetarian, and it obviously does not work. The Urban Monk is about finding a realistic way to fit these ancient practices into a modern lifestyle without throwing the baby out with the bathwater and completely missing the point like all those "yoga girls."The main value of this book is in the suggestions for reasonable east-meets-west solutions that we can start doing today without investing in an overpriced gym membership, fancy props, classes, a life coach, a stupid $1500 diet program, or whatever else we're constantly told to throw money at to become a better person. Pedram's advice is based on minor diet and lifestyle changes that make major differences, with some non-denominational energy work incorporated in.
