NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thought leader, visionary, philanthropist, mystic, and yogi Sadhguru presents Western readers with a time-tested path to achieving absolute well-being: the classical science of yoga.

“A loving invitation to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can.”—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, Finding Your Element, and Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative

NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SPIRITUALITY & HEALTH

The practice of hatha yoga, as we commonly know it, is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. In fact, 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 book 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. Today, as the founder of Isha, an organization devoted to humanitarian causes, he lights the path for millions. The term
guru, he notes, 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 book offers readers time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new.
Inner Engineering presents a revolutionary way of thinking about our agency and our humanity and the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Sadhguru and Inner Engineering
 
“By any measure, Sadhguru is a remarkable man. For countless people around the world, he is a luminous spiritual guide. He is as well a pragmatic social activist and compassionate campaigner for human rights, for universal education, and for global peace and well-being. In this signature book, he sets out the personal experiences and deep insights that have transformed his own life and consciousness. More than that, he offers a practiced program for personal transformation that also draws from the venerable teachings of the yogic masters who continue to inspire him. Throughout the ages there have been no more insistent questions than 'Who are we?' and 'What is our purpose in living at all?' Contrarian and consistent, ancient and contemporary,
Inner Engineering is a loving invitation to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can.”—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, Finding Your Element, and Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative
 
“I am inspired by Sadhguru’s capacity for joy, his exuberance for life, and the depth and breadth of his curiosity and knowledge. His book is filled with moments of wonder, awe, and intellectual challenge. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in self-transformation.”
—Mark Hyman, M.D., director, Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and New York Times bestselling author
 
Inner Engineering is a fascinating read of Sadhguru’s insights and his teachings. If you are ready, it is a tool to help awaken your own inner intelligence, the ultimate and supreme genius that mirrors the wisdom of the cosmos.”—Deepak Chopra

If you have dealt with depression or anxiety - start reading this book NOW!
I am not an active reader. But read through 60 pages on the first night itself. It's hard to keep this book down. Am right now less than half way through the book. The perfect book for anyone who needs help getting over depression and anxiety or simply wants to lead a peaceful life. It's a book by a yogi and has no references on Hinduism. It's simply a guidebook on how to live life following the basic laws of nature and the universe. That's what I loved about this book, it is keeps mythologies and religion far away! Shall update the review if required when I have read it completely.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017
Although I've ready many books throughout my life this is the first book I'm writing a review for. Thought provoking and inspirational, this book resonates with me like no other. I've read many books by authors such as Eckharte Tolle, Osho, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharishi, etc however none of them put it as simply as Sadhguru does in this book. Every time I'm going through a tough phase or I'm feeling down I pick up this book and start reading it. Every passage, every sentence, every word has been crafted carefully - just reading the book is a great joy! Sadhguru is an unbelievable man, his perception of life and what it means to be human is incredible. He is a buddha of modern times and truly a dispeller of darkness (The word guru means dispeller of darkness). I've taken most of his meditation and yoga courses and I can assure you they are truly transformative. If only they taught this to every child in school, we would be living in a totally different world.

It's a strange thing how from the beginning of our lives we are put on a wheel where we are constantly running in pursuit of happiness. We chase money, power, pleasure, love, sex, drugs. We spend so much time and energy chasing other people, and material objects. We chase a certain status, a certain recognition from society. We become slaves to our desires. By the time one desire is fulfilled we have a hundred other desires waiting. We come into this life with all sorts of expectations, if we don't get what we want we are miserable - but even when these desires are fulfilled we often find ourselves missing something or looking forward to the next desire, and like this life just flies by and before we know it we are on our death beds. There is a constant greed within us for more and more, we are never willing to settle. The biggest problem is - We have everything, but we don't have ourselves. Our experience of life is just limited to this body and mind, but these are just things we've accumulated over time, so then who are we? What is the nature of our existence? Society provides us with all sorts of belief systems, philosophies, religions. You run to your priests for answers, you run to the scriptures for answers. You look into books for answers, yet you are still not settled, the longing for more is still there, misery is still there, you are not free.

Through inner engineering, Sadhguru talks about desire, the nature of joy, the mind, the body, what it takes to live a life of fulfillment. He addresses the fundamental longing within each human being and his meditative courses provide the methods to which one can know what is beyond this body and mind. I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone who is interested in growth, inner transformation, happiness, fulfillment, spirituality or just life itself. No matter what stage of life you're in or what your background is - this book can definitely be of great use. This book does not provide any sort of ideology, philosophy, dogma, or form of belief systems. Everything is based on Sadhguru's own sheer experience of life and therefore people from all walks of life can take something from it. A life transforming chance - don't miss out!

This book is an absolute treasure. It has enhanced my understanding of life and Shambhavi on an even greater level than I originally understood. No doubt the next time I read it - it will again open me up to other levels of experience.

I am humbly grateful to have learned more than I ever could have imagined from SADHGURU.

I started Sadhguru’s 21 minute Inner Engineering daily practice called Shambhavi in 2010 ; a tool to enhance one’s life in creating inner and outer well being.
At the end of the Inner Engineering weekend course I took in August 2010, a closing video of Sadhguru was shown, Sadhguru said something to the effect “do this 21 minute practice for 40 days and see what happens, do this for six months and you will never stop” I was struck by the confidence and simplicity of which Sadhguru said this, I couldn’t understand why such an incredibly simple anyone can do practice, which even for a distracted mind only included a few minutes of meditation, could alter one so powerfully so as not to want me to stop! At the time I admit, I was in a place where I felt the need to do something about the way I was living life, …I wanted to know more, even though I was not sure what more was - what I did know, I was ready and eager to make changes to the way I was experiencing life. I yearned to modify the cyclical cycle of experiences occurring in my life, including cyclical thoughts and emotions. Since this practice seemed so basic - I decided there and then that I had to commit experience the unknown and actually see for myself - if this could this be true. I also knew this was not going to be an easy task, at a stretch; the idea of a disciplined routine of any kind other than working out was clearly not one of my best virtues. It is 2016 and I have not stopped. I can honestly say I cannot stop. The inner transformations and ever increasing state of internal and external awareness and changes have been nothing less than phenomenal and only continue to grow. This is why I do it everyday without fail, otherwise why bother. No matter how tired I am, I by pass the chatter of the mind and it’s vigorous aim to distract me, and commit. And, no matter how I am feeling before I sit down, my perception changes; I always, always feel better, relaxed yet alert, happier and energized.
This is only one of many reasons why I am humbly thankful to Sadhguru and all I have learned during these last six years.

La busqueda de la felicidad es absurda. La dicha es un encuentro que tienes todos los días contigo mismo y toda la vida que te rodea. En las sabias palabras de Sadhguru solo encontraras claridad y evidenciara las fantasias con las que has construido y mantenido tu “realidad”. Una lectura esencial en la senda espiritual.
