Synopsis

Now a cult classic, Where in the Om Am I? is an irreverent, honest, and hilarious memoir of a woman’s journey from the corporate world to the perilous world of yoga.Sara has invested years dutifully climbing the corporate ladder to become head of public relations at a major financial-services company, but she can’t shake the feeling that she’s not where she belongs. When her latest boss, a wine-guzzling, drama-loving diva, finally drives her to the brink, Sara seeks sanctuary in yoga-teacher training—only to encounter an entirely different assortment of craziness and calamity.Where in the OM Am I? chronicles one woman’s journey from the fast-paced, cutthroat corporate world to the slow-paced, surprisingly catty, and sometimes perilous world of yoga. Along the way, Sara confronts the harsh reality of working in a male-dominated industry, the challenges of being a corporate interloper in the yoga community, and the complexity of interactions between women in both realms.As epic mishaps beget personal revelations, Sara digs deep for the courage to forge a new life for herself.

Goodreads review by Megan on June 16, 2013

it reads like a perfect "chick lit" "beach read", but the arc of the book is much more nuanced than i expected (i had thought it would be "corporate world bad / yoga world good. period." instead i found the lessons to be more universal. it's about having power over our own lives (women but really ev......more
