Hey everyone. Welcome to the What Is Money Show. I'm sitting down today with Mr. Russell LeCore, who is the CEO of Tantra Labs.

And we're going to be talking today about an very interesting book, the title of which

0:28.3

is Inner Engineering, a yogi's Guide to Joy.

0:34.4

Not my book, but.

0:38.7

But your recommendation.

0:40.6
