Hiding in Unnatural Happiness, is about our search to attain happiness and how it's such an elusive subjective state. It explores whether genetics, circumstances and willpower (or lack of it) limit our attempts at happiness. Drawing upon the ancient yoga science of the self, Hiding in nnnatural happiness probes our contemporary approach to fulfillment and progress, and recommends another road, less traveled but timeless.

Deep in lost history, did high civilizations and advanced knowledge thrive? The ancient Vedic literatures of India describe a worldwide civilization that flourished at a time when modern historians insist that humans like us existed simply as hunter-gatherers. This Vedic civilization, centered in India, employed technologies based on a scientific understanding of the physical elements and forces we know today, as well as more subtle conscious elements. Devamrita Swami, who has spent a lifetime in his own search for Vedic India, takes us on a journey of intellectual discovery through the history of the remarkable Vedic civilization and its knowledge, locked in the ancient literatures of India. His wit and wisdom combine to make our search for Vedic India not only illuminating but entertaining. He tells us not only the truths of Vedic India, but how they are again coming to be. Searching for Vedic India thus takes us not only into the past, but into the future.
