Book Reviews of 40 Days to Personal Revolution: A Breakthrough Program to Radically Change Your Body and Awaken the Sacred Within Your Soul

Book Review: Great Guide/Reference Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been practicing yoga for a while, and have been integrating Baron Baptiste's "power" style into my own recently. I thought I'd pick up this book and see what he has to say. I bought it more for the meditation and life coaching side of things, and I think Baron's approach to "presence" meditation is great--it actually works for me, unlike other methods I've tried. I think I can also relate best to Baron the most of the yoga gurus because of the physicality of his yoga: the "power" and the "flow." As an avid runner, I feel more comfortable being active rather than holding poses for a long time, and focusing on the breath while moving through poses helps me achieve mental stillness which I can carry into meditation practice (which I'm totally a beginner at!). The other thing I really like is that Baron references Jesus, Moses, and the Bible as much as he does Indian yogis and gurus--and as a Christian too, it makes me really happy to see someone else finding a way to integrate Christianity into yoga. You don't have to be Hindu or Indian to be a yogi, or give up your spiritual beliefs.

Summary of 40 Days to Personal Revolution: A Breakthrough Program to Radically Change Your Body and Awaken the Sacred Within Your Soul

Let the Revolution Begin Now

In 40 Days to Personal Revolution, Baron Baptiste -- one of the world's most beloved master yoga teachers -- inspires us to transform more than body and mind: He gives us the tools we need to set ourselves free to live the healthful life we've always imagined. In the next 40 days you will create a whole new way of being and living. Tapping ancient wisdom and his own personal experience, Baron has created a relevant and completely practical program that will lead you to the clarity of mind, body, and spirit that awaits on the other side of your revolution. Each week includes:

  • A yoga practice to do every morning
  • Principles to cleanse your diet along with eating plan
  • Instructions to begin and deepen a meditation practice
  • Excavation questions to root out limiting beliefs and patterns

Those familiar with yoga teacher Baron Baptiste know that he trains many high-profile celebrities and athletes. Yet his message is the antithesis of the American obsession with wealth and fame. For Baptiste, personal transformation is about facing the abyss of our internal emptiness and recognizing all the ways we seek to fill the void with money, status and material possessions. Ultimately, this program offers readers a kick-butt chance to get started on a steadier and more lasting, internal form of fulfillment. "In the end yoga is not a magic cure-all, but the way challenges our bodies moves our stuck energy, clears our mind, and inspires us to seek and live in truth can be a catalyst for amazing spiritual growth," he writes. "Ultimately the yoga program found in the book is about developing a soulful perspective to the question that I hear nearly every day in my classroom: 'How did I get into this state, and how can I get out?'"

Baptiste divides his program into a six-week system. Each week focuses on a theme for transformation. For instance, Week One starts with the theme of "Presence." Baptiste suggests readers start with a daily 20-minute yoga practice. (His asanas are all gentle, but the mechanics may be challenging for readers completely new to yoga, although the pictures and lengthy captions will help.) He also suggests a beginning "balancing diet" (based on Ayurveda principles), and thematic meditations, which include a list of "excavation questions." One could argue that this book is even better than going on a 40-day retreat at one of Baptiste's yoga centers. The program is designed to be integrated into your life as you live it. Readers do the yoga and prepare the food in their homes, and contemplate the principles for enlightenment within the routines of daily life. In this way it has the potential to be a lasting and well integrated transformation. --Gail Hudson
