Thousands of books are introduced every year. Very few have the power to endure. Autobiography of a Yogi, continuously in print for 55 years, is one of those rare books that is constantly in demand. It has been adopted for course use in more than 200 colleges and universities and has inspired millions of spiritual seekers the world over. Selected as one of the 100 best spiritual books of the 20th century by panelists at Harper SanFrancisco, Common Boundary magazine, and Shambhala Sun magazine.
Throughout the decades, one title that continues to appear on best-seller lists is Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. This timeless book remains a seminal work in the field of Eastern religion — the definitive introduction to the science and philosophy of yoga meditation that draws more readers with each passing year. All our editions of the Autobiography include extensive material added by the author after the first edition was published, including a final chapter on the closing years of his life. Also included are numerous high-quality photographs and a complete subject index. When it first appeared in print in 1946, Newsweek called it "fascinating." The New York Times hailed it as a "rare account." “Few books have had greater impact on popular theology than Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi.”
–Phyllis Tickle, God Talk in America
