Regarded as one of the most spiritual books of all time "Autobiography of a Yogi" is the story of Paramahansa Yogananda told in his own words. As Walter Y. Evans-Wentz remarks in his preface to the book "The value of Yogananda's 'Autobiography' is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race and training-in short, a book about yogis by a yogi." This work takes the reader along on Yogananda's spiritual journey from his upbringing in Gorakhpur, India, to his search for his spiritual guru, Yukteswar Giri, and ultimately to the founding of the Self-Realization Fellowship in the United States. Not only a great chronicle of a deeply spiritual life, "Autobiography of a Yogi" has also been hugely influential in disseminating the spiritual ideas of yoga and meditation in the Western world. Cited as an influence for such luminaries as Steve Jobs and George Harrison, "Autobiography of a Yogi", will surely inspire readers for years to come.

Autobiography as Indigenous Intellectual Tradition critiques ways of approaching Indigenous texts that are informed by the Western academic tradition and offers instead a new way of theorizing Indigenous literature based on the Indigenous practice of life writing. Since the 1970s non-Indigenous scholars have perpetrated the notion that Indigenous people were disinclined to talk about their lives and underscored the assumption that autobiography is a European invention. Deanna Reder challenges such long held assumptions by calling attention to longstanding autobiographical practices that are engrained in Cree and Métis, or nêhiyawak, culture and examining a series of examples of Indigenous life writing. Blended with family stories and drawing on original historical research, Reder examines censored and suppressed writing by nêhiyawak intellectuals such as Maria Campbell, Edward Ahenakew, and James Brady. Grounded in nêhiyawak ontologies and epistemologies that consider life stories to be an intergenerational conduit to pass on knowledge about a shared world, this study encourages a widespread re-evaluation of past and present engagement with Indigenous storytelling forms across scholarly disciplines.

Now for the first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this pungent, witty and painfully honest autobiography. These are the memoirs of a survivor, someone who has reached the pinnacle of success, who has had it all, but whose demons have never left him.

The book is an account of the life and spiritual journey of Paramahansa Yogananda, who was born in India in 1893. Yogananda's early years are marked by a deep interest in spirituality and a desire to seek truth and enlightenment. He describes his encounters with several spiritual teachers and gurus during his youth, including Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, who became his principal guru and mentor. The autobiography recounts Yogananda's experiences and spiritual insights, including his training in the ancient science of Kriya Yoga, a meditation and spiritual practice. He also shares his travels in India and his interactions with various spiritual figures, including Mahatma Gandhi. Yogananda's journey takes him to the United States, where he introduces the teachings of yoga and meditation to a Western audience. He establishes the Self-Realization Fellowship, an organization devoted to disseminating the teachings of Kriya Yoga and spiritual self-realization. Throughout the book, Yogananda discusses the interconnectedness of various religious and spiritual traditions and emphasizes the universal principles that underlie all spiritual paths. He shares personal stories and mystical experiences, making a compelling case for the transformative power of yoga and meditation in achieving self-realization and spiritual awakening. The "Autobiography of a Yogi" is regarded as a spiritual classic and has been highly influential in the spread of yoga and Eastern spirituality in the West. It has inspired countless individuals on their spiritual journeys and continues to be widely read and respected by people seeking a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the mind and the quest for self-realization. The book's universal message of seeking divine wisdom and realization transcends cultural and religious boundaries.

This new edition of the acclaimed Frank Meeink story includes a preface by the author, nine new chapters, an updated epilogue, and resource guides for substance abuse recovery and countering racism. Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead is Frank Meeink's raw telling of his descent into America's Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over hatred and addiction. Frank's violent childhood in South Philadelphia primed him to hate. He made easy prey for a small group of skinhead gang recruiters led by his older cousin. At fourteen, he shaved his head. By sixteen, Frank was one of the most notorious skinhead gang leaders on the East Coast. By eighteen, he was doing hard time in an Illinois prison. Behind bars, Frank began to question his hatred, thanks in large part to his African-American teammates on a prison football league. Shortly after being paroled, Frank defected from the white supremacy movement. The Oklahoma City bombing inspired him to try to stop the hatred he once had felt. He began speaking on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League and appeared on MTV and other national networks in his efforts to stop the hate. In time, Frank partnered with the Philadelphia Flyers to launch an innovative hate prevention program called Harmony Through Hockey. He is currently developing a similar program for the Iowa Chops, an AHL team affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks. The story of Frank Meeink's downfall and redemption has the power to open hearts and change lives.

Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie. AFTER retiring from active business my husband yielded to the earnest solicitations of friends, both here and in Great Britain, and began to jot down from time to time recollections of his early days. He soon found, however, that instead of the leisure he expected, his life was more occupied with affairs than ever before, and the writing of these memoirs was reserved for his play-time in Scotland. For a few weeks each summer we retired to our little bungalow on the moors at Aultnagar to enjoy the simple life, and it was there that Mr. Carnegie did most of his writing. He delighted in going back to those early times, and as he wrote he lived them all over again. He was thus engaged in July, 1914, when the war clouds began to gather, and when the fateful news of the 4th of August reached us, we immediately left our retreat in the hills and returned to Skibo to be more in touch with the situation. These memoirs ended at that time. Henceforth he was never able to interest himself in private affairs. Many times he made the attempt to continue writing, but found it useless. Until then he had lived the life of a man in middle life
