Mariel Hemingway

[Guest guest]

I wish to recommend a book that I discovered recently.

Author is Mariel Hemingway. Title is Finding My

Balance. It was published in 2003 by Simon & Schuster

of New York.

Mariel comes from a very famous but very troubled

family. Her grandfather, Ernest, was a famous writer.

He traveled to many countries and wrote famous stories

such as Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Old Man and the

Sea. Yet he had a difficult personal life, with four

divorces and eventual suicide.

Mariel's sister, Margaux, was a famous Hollywood

actor. But she indulged in drugs and alcohol and other

self-destructive practices, and eventually died as a

result. The third sister, Muffet, had serious

emotional instability, as did their father. Their

mother openly hated their father.

Thus Mariel was surrounded by trouble. How to

cope with such enormous difficulties? Yoga. Mariel

studied yoga intently and now teaches it. Yogic

practices have helped her remain calm and focused when

everyone around her was acting crazy. In the book, she

explains how she was able to use yoga to prevent from

happening to her the sorts of tragedies that happened

to everyone else in her family. In this way, she was

able to help the others, to bring strength and comfort

to her kin when they needed it.

Copies of the book are available inexpensively at
