The Vedanta Way to Peace and Happiness by Swami Adiswarananda
A good introduction to the highly abstract subject of Vedanta. The underlying message is pretty much the same. You have been given this one chance in this world by taking the Human form so do not fitter it away by just subsisting in the material world, use it for the true and highest purpose which is to realize the ultimate truth. In the words of Patanjali, this would be the state of Kaivalya.

The philosophy of Yoga tells us that the root cause of our sorrows and suffering is loss of contact with our true Self. Our recovery is only possible by reestablishing contact with our innermost Self, the Reality of all realities, and by recognizing that knowledge of Self is our salvation.
In this comprehensive guide, Swami Adiswarananda introduces the four spiritual paths of yoga--Karma-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Raja-Yoga and Jnana-Yoga--and what you can expect as an aspirant on each path. Covering the message and practice of each of the yogas as well as philosophy and psychology, preparatory practices, common obstacles and ways to overcome them, this accessible book will prove invaluable to anyone wishing to follow a yoga practice in order to realize the goal of Self-knowledge.
