Tangerine: How To Read The Upanishads Without Giving Up Coffee (Hb)
This non-fiction memoir invites adults curious about spirituality and cultural traditions to follow a personal journey of faith, doubt, and self-discovery. It centers on how one woman seeks balance and meaning by exploring Hindu philosophy and sacred texts, especially in moments of personal upheaval. The tone is candid, reflective, and hopeful.
Presented as a story-led, contemplative journey, the prose feels intimate and musical, weaving travel, study, and life’s uncertainties into a cohesive arc. What makes the reading experience distinctive is the author’s fearless, honest voice—a balance of reverence for tradition with a clear-eyed, contemporary perspective—and a cadence that invites reflection rather than instruction. Readers move through the evolving understanding with clear-eyed questions and gentle discoveries guiding the path forward, rather than doctrine telling the way.
Concepts covered include Hindu philosophy, Upanishadic ideas, and universal truths expressed through personal narrative. Learning feels approachable and enjoyable as ideas are anchored in real life, with relatable anecdotes, practical insights, and reflective prompts that invite self-inquiry and everyday relevance. The journey blends travel, study, and daily life to illustrate how ancient wisdom can illuminate modern living.
