The book know your mind contains a series of short chapters, many of which are partly in Q&A form coming from talks given by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The common theme of these discourses is how one can understand one's mind and learn to live in a way that maximizes happiness. The book is essentially just about training the mind to look at the world in a different way. The author explains the mind with humor and occasionally with a parable or narrative to help make the lessons more memorable. One example that the author uses in various permutations is that people dwell on the negative. As he says, when you are healthy, you never ask the question, 'why am I healthy? when you are sick, you say, oh, why am I sick? similarly, he mentions that, if someone tells us they like us, we don't question it, but if they tell us they hate us, then we do. This book comes with a CD.
