Stalking God: My Unorthodox Search for Something to Believe in by Anjali Kumar

4.0

Anjali Kumar references Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love (both the book, and the movie based on it, validly distinguishing between the two) many times in Stalking God. Maybe one wouldn't exist without the other, but Kumar's book is so much better than Gilbert's that I'm sad it hasn't gotten more attention. Anjali Kumar is funny, self-aware, insightful, smart, and a good writer. She also, undeniably, had an outsize budget for her spiritual explorations and an attraction to more offbeat than average practitioners. Still, I found her stories engaging and her conclusions sound, and am so glad I stumbled upon her book!
