Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

The audiobook's narration by Laural Merlington is exceptionally well-suited to Shumsky’s prose, providing an ethereal quality that mirrors the mystical experiences described. Her calm yet expressive delivery allows each anecdote about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and his devotees to resonate deeply. One might find the pacing a bit slow for those expecting fast-paced narratives, but this deliberate approach suits the reflective tone of the memoir perfectly. The only minor critique is the occasional repetition in certain sections, which slightly disrupts the flow. Nevertheless, anyone interested in spiritual history or seeking inspiration will find Maharishi & Me both enlightening and captivating.
