I have read and studied many books on Ayurveda and I simply can’t recommend this book enough! It is an authentic sharing, not only of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta, but of the author’s own personal experiences and wisdom with the knowledge. The chapters and structure are well thought out and easy to follow. And it is beautiful! It’s such a delight to gaze upon the beautiful colors and photos – you feel like you learning the wisdom alongside the author surrounded by nature. Ananta grounds the information so anyone can understand the principles and this is why I will be giving many of these to friends at Christmastime.
It’s a perfect combination of nature, nurture, and spirituality. Her heartfelt writing of her Guru and ancestors also gave me faith that there is a genuine wish to help humanity and a Dharmic path that she is following. Ayurveda can be complicated, but it can also be simple too. And I found in my own life, that when I consistently followed the simple basics, my health improved. Nothing is more important than your basic health, and Ananta has made that goal achievable with this book. Thank you Ananta!

Good but misses the mark
I was mixed on this book. It had so much great information, yet, as someone who already has a basic foundation in ayurveda, I felt like there was a very real lack of information.The first part that got me was the section about food. She talks about eating only cooked food which is really great advice, but seems like a narrow recommendation. It forgets about the constitutions and whether there are imbalances because as far as I have learned, there are times where crunchy, cold and raw foods are necessary for balancing.I also felt like the book makes the assumption that you know a great deal about ayurveda to begin with. There isn’t much explanation about the doshas or what helps balance those doshas. It almost seems like it’s written for the authors dosha. For example: the food section is written for an pitta or a Vata (not kapha) and the oil section #62 doesn’t talk about oils types for your dosha which is really important. There are many other examples but that’s as far as I’ll go for now.I love ayurveda and really appreciate many aspects of this book. The routines and so many of the nourishing practices, the recipes. I just think it’s misses a lot of what makes ayurveda so amazing which is the very individualized approach to constitution it takes.
