From Amsterdam to Cambodia, from Rome to Indonesia, from New Orleans to Libya, and from Detroit to Ko Pha-Ngan, Geoff Dyer finds himself both floundering about in a sea of grievances and finding moments of transcendental calm. This aberrant quest for peak experiences leads, ultimately, to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where, to quote Tarkovsky's Stalker, 'your most cherished desire will come true'.

Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It is a book that defies genre, a book about author Geoff Dyer's travels (sort of), Dyer's thoughts about life (kinda), a book of essays (somewhat), a memoir (after a fashion). In any case, Dyer takes us with him to Cambodia and South Beach and Libya (Libya?) and a bunch of other places, and he shares some brilliant thoughts about these places and the people he's with and the universe, usually while he's under the influence of alcohol or drugs or both. And he's oddly funny.
