Teachings of the Dalai Berra
Nonfiction / Comedy / Philsophy

For decades, one of the world’s most beloved sports figures, Yogi Berra, has both amused and confused the public with his inimitable outlook on life. While many people find his malapropisms a source of humor, in the world of great philosophy, Yogi’s quotes not only make perfect sense, but also reveal a firm grasp of the inner workings of the universe.

In the book, Teachings of the Dalai Berra, Yogi’s most puzzling quotes are explained by the various philosophies embodied in Zen, Tao, and I-Ching. Other quotes are explained by great thinkers like Socrates, Confucius and Jewish Grandmothers.

This book is visually humorous and will appeal, not only to the sports fan, but also to fans of great thinking. The bite-sized chunks of philosophy accompanying each of his quotes are written with the simplicity of a Chinese fortune-cookie, but will cleverly lead readers to the profound meanings behind Yogi’s most famous quotes. For the first time Yogi Berra-isms will not only make perfect sense, but will simplify cosmic wisdom.
