May I Be Happy: A Memoir of Love, Yoga, and Changing My Mind

Cyndi Lee, read by the author. Brilliance Audio, unabridged, seven CDs, 7.5 hrs., $29.99 ISBN 978-1-4692-6325-0

Yoga teacher Cyndi Lee offers a fascinating look at her journey of self-discovery and her struggle to help others while attempting to resolve her self-doubt. Lee’s mission takes her across the world and allows her to speak with figures such as actress Jamie Lee Curtis and Louise Hay, one of the founders of the self-help movement. As a narrator, Lee reads with confidence, but allows her tone to become self-deprecating at times, which is fitting given the book’s subject matter. Both men and women will be able to relate to the author’s body-image issues. And her positive message and enthusiastic delivery will make believers out of skeptics. Many listeners will likely find themselves signing up for yoga classes upon the conclusion of this audiobook. A Dutton hardcover. (Jan.)
