Description
A meditation retreat begins as a search for calm, but in this intimate, unsparing book, Emmanuel Carrère finds that yoga is never only about the body—it is a doorway into the mind’s most volatile terrain. What starts as a personal essay on self-help and spiritual practice gradually widens into an account of psychological collapse, shaped by the shock of the Charlie Hebdo attack and the unraveling of his life and marriage. Through the discipline of breath, posture, and attention, Carrère confronts depression, fear, and the limits of control, asking what it means to live with honesty when the self breaks down. Blending memoir with philosophical inquiry in his distinctive, literary style, the book explores themes of faith and doubt, resilience, and the fragile hope of transformation.
