In this captivating and surprising novel of spiritual discovery a No. 1 bestseller in India a young American travels to India and finds himself tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Max Pzoras is the poster child for the American Dream. The child of Greek immigrants who grew up in a dangerous New York housing project, he triumphed over his upbringing and became a successful Wall Street analyst. Yet on the frigid December night he s involved in a violent street scuffle, Max begins to confront questions about suffering and mortality that have dogged him since his mother s death.
His search takes him to the farthest reaches of India, where he encounters a mysterious night market, almost freezes to death on a hike up the Himalayas, and finds himself in an ashram in a drought-stricken village in South India. As Max seeks answers to questions that have bedeviled him can yogis walk on water and live for 200 years without aging? Can a flesh-and-blood man ever achieve nirvana? he struggles to overcome his skepticism and the pull of family tugging him home. In an ultimate bid for answers, he embarks on a dangerous solitary meditation in a freezing Himalayan cave, where his physical and spiritual endurance is put to its most extreme test.
By turns a gripping adventure story and a journey of tremendous inner transformation, The Yoga of Max's Discontent is a contemporary take on man's classic quest for transcendence.

A beautifully rendered epic journey Transcendent yet readable, spiritual yet wildly and deliberately accessible, the novel works on many levels and excels at them all. New York Journal of Books
From the snows of the Himalayas to the droughts of southern India, as varied as the subcontinent s locations are its characters, including freewheeling young bikers and ageless yogis whose silences last for decades. Bajaj guides the reader along on a pleasurable journey. Publishers Weekly
Riveting Beautifully written, powerful in its deliverance and giving in its message, The Yoga of Max s Discontent is one book that deserves to be read. Fiction Foresight
Remarkable. Siddhartha changed my life but The Yoga of Max s Discontent is something more than Hesse. It is a novel profoundly relevant to our times, to a generation that is more concerned and attuned to moral and spiritual values than previous generations. Impakter Magazine
In a literary market flooded with shallow yogic adventure stories both fact and fiction that promise little more than sensationalism or entertainment, here comes an important, authentic, believable, riveting account on the level of Hermann Hesse or Victor Frankl. This is a superbly written meditation on effort and grace, a do-or-die quest for spiritual transformation, a journey from darkness to light, and a psychological thriller, which strips away artifice in a relentless quest to discover meaning and shows us how the lotus can rise from the muck of a Bronx sewer to blossom calmly in the cool Himalayan moonlight. Sharon Gannon, co-author of Jivamukti Yoga
Filled with adventure and excitement. A quest for answers that bother all of us at some level. Times of India
An instant bestseller. One man s epic quest to merge with the universal oneness. India Today
A special story. Engaging, convincing, and highly readable. Keeps the readers engrossed till the very last page. The Statesman
