'The impact of the Autobiography wasn't limited to musicians or spiritual seekers. Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple Inc., which became the world's most valuable company, was a big fan and went so far as to say it was one of his favorite books. Jobs first read it as a teenager and claimed to have re-read it every year since then.'

Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi was one of the most impactful spiritual books of the twentieth century and has travelled around the world, inspiring millions to walk the spiritual path. But what are twenty-first-century spiritual aspirants, steeped in technology and science, to think of these classic tales of gurus, swamis and miracles in the Himalayas? Do these tales have relevance today?

In Wisdom of a Yogi, bestselling author, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Rizwan Virk brings out the lessons from Yogananda's classic and reinterprets them for the modern age. In fourteen unforgettable lessons, interweaving stories from the Autobiography with tales of college professors, students, entrepreneurs and modern seekers, Virk brings the ancient lessons of karma, yoga, meditation and siddhas into the modern age of YouTube, video games, mobile phones and social media.

Whether you have never read the Autobiography or have read it multiple times, Wisdom of a Yogi will help enhance your spiritual practice in today's increasingly complex, cluttered and connected world.


"Distils the very essence of Yogananda’s Autobiography, thus making the great monk’s work, life and teachings accessible to a wider universe."
—Ashwin Sanghi, author of The Magicians of Mazda

"Wisdom of a Yogi is highly recommended both for those who have cherished Yogananda from childhood and those who are discovering him only now.
—Robert Moss, bestselling author of Conscious Dreaming and The Secret History of Dreaming
