Emmanuel Carrère sets out to write a short, cheerful book about yoga and meditation. Instead, life overtakes the project. A silent meditation retreat is interrupted by the Charlie Hebdo attacks, and the years that follow bring personal upheaval, severe depression, psychiatric hospitalization, and an attempt to recover equilibrium among refugees on the Greek island of Leros. Moving between meditation and mental crisis, terrorism and friendship, self-examination and encounters with others, Yoga transforms a book about achieving inner harmony into an account of what happens when harmony collapses.
