Exactly what the title promises. This book tells what poses are good for and how to do them complete with alternatives when the pose is too hard for our particular body. I love how the author emphasizes care and that benefit can be had without doing a pose "perfectly." There are 3 suggested 5-minute workouts which I found good for starting to learn some poses. Then 3 15-minute sessions which include what is in a 5-minute session and then add some on. There are also 30-minute sessions which looked like too much for me with the added poses included in them. 

I liked the way the instructions have built-in warm ups of most poses before holding the pose. I also found that the order the poses are given really does slowly limber me up as I progress through them. 

I found I could quickly get started doing a 5-minute session after reading the first couple of chapters. I then continued reading to get more information. There is a lot of good info besides just the basic poses.

It does seem that there is more to the universe that we do not know than that we do know. This second book takes us deeper into the idea of a universe of 4 dimensions and 3 dimensional humans accidentally find themselves in that other space. Meanwhile some tech is developed to monetize this discovery of the 4th dimension and one might guess there could be problems with this. Characters from the first book are involved in solving multiple problems. The characters are great and the world view created is intriguing and imaginative in a way that I could sense being in it. Great series!

Amazed again by Sparks! I always find him enriching while delivering such engrossing stories. I listened to this one so very well delivered.

Very engaging Science Fiction story. The characters are richly developed, the ones you love and the ones you hate. The story has a lot of science given in terms I could understand. It then develops into the fictional science that takes us far out, but is reasonable. I loved the idea used for this and the story of the characters who come together to solve a big mystery. This is a very well-written book. As much as I loved the story and want to get the next book in the series, I am sold also on the author and enjoy so much the style of writing. Highly recommend for Sci-Fi readers unless you are looking for those space war type books.

Finley tells the story of his journey on a healing path. It is a moving story and he give hope to others who have been traumatized as they walk their own path.
