"Some Swamis are Fat" is an informal approach to truth-seeking. Ava Greene, a yoga instructor, bares her soul in a quest that's both light-hearted and agonizing. Greene's late-night rants—including cosmic questions, lucid realizations, and quirky sidetracking—lead us easily along. Only hinting at a wealth of life experience, she applies a hard fought wisdom that keeps bringing us back to the present moment, that elusive experience that matters most. You'll lose and find yourself in the fresh, energetic writing.
Genre: SELF-HELP / SpiritualThis book has continued to sell since it was released in Sept. 2012. Both in paperback and ebook. Sales have increased each year. And sales will likely continue going up as my next four books are published in the next 2 years.

Like slugging the ball over the fence, their lives are those kinds of homers from the start—Greek fishermen, rice growers in Indonesia, those who rise with the sun and do their day's work cyclically as nature. They go innocently around the calendar, decade after decade, marrying, parenting, aging then dying; they hit the ball out of the ballpark first time at bat; they walk the bases. They're neither jaded nor part of the problem. Somewhere they chose or didn't choose not to have too many choices. Others of us play nine long evolutionary innings and on into overtime. Singles, doubles, a lot of fouling out."

"Do you really want to just hit the road and follow the winds of fate?" Greg asked.
"No, that's not what I want. I just want to be fearless. But a part of me feels too practical. The practicality of fearlessness is probably what I should look into…"
