Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Anne Cushman Dear Reader, As a longtime yoga and meditation teacher, I've always been fascinated by the collision between the lofty ideals of spiritual practice and the all-too-human lives of the people who do it. That's the hilarious, heartbreaking terrain I explore in my novel ENLIGHTENMENT FOR IDIOTS, named by Booklist as one of the Top Ten First Novels of 2008. My book tells the story of Amanda, a twenty-nine-year-old yoga teacher with a passion for spiritual awakening—and for unreliable men--who attempts to leave behind her dysfunctional love life for a pilgrimage to India. As she careens from guru to guru, her illusions are shattered and an unwelcome revelation sends her life spiraling out of control. She faces some hard choices—and realizes that no matter how far she travels, she can't get away from the chaos, passion, comedy, and pain of her own story.
