In \u003ci\u003eLearning to Eat Along the Way\u003c\/i\u003e, Bendet enters a world that many have wondered about but few have seen: the milieu of a spiritual master. Subtle experiences prompt her to embark on this journey with \"the swami,\" as she calls the holy man, and to enter into the ashram--but once there, she deals with a host of psychological issues, including intense infatuation and life-threatening anorexia. \"Each person comes to the ashram in order to receive something,\" the swami tells her, \"something to take with you when you leave--something you can eat along the way.\" Bendet finds this to be truer than she could have imagined. Clear-eyed and candid, \u003ci\u003eLearning to Eat Along the Way\u003c\/i\u003e is an honest and often surprising account of one woman's experience with spiritual work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e She Writes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631529979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Margaret Bendet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42567552303285,"sku":"9781631529979","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2257c169-a923-4a65-ab99-2db64d4bee5c.jpg?v=1671551628","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/learning-to-eat-along-the-way-a-memoir-9781631529979","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
