You, YES You! Yolki's Journey Within

"You, Yes You!" is a short story about, Yolki,a young egg, who realizes that he is truly the golden light inside, as he goes through life's adventures that shed his exterior shell on piece at a time. Through this journey, he learns to overcome feelings of self-doubt and fear by practicing self-awareness, compassion, non-attachment and selflessness. By the end, Yolki is beaming with inner joy and is grateful to have gone through the ups and downs in his adventure, for without them, he would have never unearthed his true self.

The book distills the complex concepts of self-empowerment, love and acceptance rooted in the Vedanta philosophy into simple but effective illustrations.
