Enlightenment for Idiots by Anne Cushman
A hilarious, moving novel that mocks and mines modern new age spirituality for all it’s worth. A yoga teacher with an assignment to do a 1-2-3 guide to enlightenment travels through an India full of insane yoga teachers and corrupt gurus–and finds actual blessings that do end up changing her life in a very real, non-cheesy, hard-won way.
