Kiran Joshi is a longtime Bay Area resident who has been on a spiritual journey from an early age. She has a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.

 

She has authored two books - 1) Faith and Perseverance - My Journey - is a compilation of her experiences of dealing with breast cancer, immigration, the family sacrifices to get her to the university, the job search and career that eventually gets her to executive level, working at a start-up company in Silicon Valley, and then learning to let it all go as everything eventually disperses including our bodies, titles, and possessions.

​

Her recent book, Myla and the Mountain, follows the journey of Myla the goat from a lost baby on the plains of Melfort to a brave climber scaling the heights of mounts of Moose. With friends' kindness and her own heart full of adventure, Myla learns to get over the fear of heights. 

​

This book, illustrated with beautiful pictures, is a testament to the power of friendship and the boundless spirit of adventure. 

​

Myla and the Mountain may be a children's book but anyone can read it and be inspired to tackle their deepest fears with a little help from those who love us.
