Description

Achieve Absolute Well-Being with the Classical Science of Yoga. The practice of what is commonly known as hatha yoga is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. Yoga is a sophisticated system of self-empowerment that is capable of harnessing and activating inner energies in such a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy. A yogi lives life in this expansive state, and in this transformative audiobook, Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening from a boy with an unusual affinity for the natural world to a young daredevil who crossed the Indian continent on his motorcycle. He relates the moment of his enlightenment on a mountaintop in southern India, where time stood still and he emerged radically changed. Teachings and Tools for a Life of Joy: As Sadhguru explains, the term guru means, "Dispeller of darkness, someone who opens the door for you. As a guru, I have no doctrine to teach, no philosophy to impart, no belief to propagate. And that is because the only solution for all the ills that plague humanity is self-transformation. Self-transformation means that nothing of the old remains. It is a dimensional shift in the way you perceive and experience life." The wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging audiobook offers you time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new. Inner Engineering presents a revolutionary way of thinking about our humanity and the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.… (more)

I started this book with some hope, as I have heard his talks, and his musings.

He does talk, and write, in a practical manner. This is good. This is what he excels at. I do believe that he is world wise, and this is part of his allure for many people. This translates into the book.

smattering of good sense scattered through the book, and I assume that this is meant for the general public who don't want anything deep. However, this also leaves me quite dissatisfied.

When you add in the subtle bits of self-promotion scattered through the book, mix with a somewhat meandering style, it leaves the reader (me), dissatisfied and bored. At the end, it is - to me - a boring book.

Mostly a good introduction to a lot of ideas but the pseudoscience was extremely irritating.

A book which I enjoyed the most. Such a life changing experience altogether. Sadhguru has a knack of explaining things which the normal human being understands. Must read for all the ones who are looking for joy in their lives.

"The only way out is "IN".
