Peter Catizone could have been a gangster, he could have been a priest; but in the end, his life moved in even more mysterious ways… Peter has been a ‘wiseguy-whisperer’ to Boston Mafia members, an occational monk, and an international diamond dealer. But more than that, he has always been a seeker of life’s truths, and his colorful autobiography intertwines his remarkable story with his learnings about faith and spirituality. Peter’s story is not quite the Autobiography of a Yogi, more like the Autobiography of an Italian Yogi.

A Story I Thought I Knew — But Couldn’t Put Down

I’ve known Peter for nearly twenty years, and many of the stories in this book I’ve heard firsthand during marathon “Italian yoga” sessions filled with laughter among family and friends. Even so, Autobiography of an Italian Yogi surprised me at every turn.

What makes this book so remarkable is how Peter takes what might look like a familiar Italian-American tale and turns it into something entirely unexpected. His life story is anything but stereotypical. It is woven with violence and love, creativity and entrepreneurship, laughter and meditation, all delivered with the same self-aware humor that he brings to every gathering.

Even knowing what was coming, I found myself unable to put it down. Each chapter is a fresh surprise: profound one moment, disarmingly funny the next, and always deeply human. For someone who has broken nearly every mold in life, Peter has given us a book that is insightful, delightful, and impossible to forget.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves a story that defies expectations and seeks the type of wisdom only an unconventional life can uncover.
