Aman Motwane is somewhere between a corporate motivational speaker and an Indian guru; a mix that shouldn’t, but seems to, work. “We have poured so much energy into changing our world,” writes Motwane. “We have completely overlooked the answer, perhaps because it is blinding in its simplicity-;In order to change our world, we must first change how we see the world.” The Power of Wisdom by Aman Motwane (Prakash Press Hardcover $21.95) is my hot pick this week. Oh, I forgot, he’s GAY.
