INNER ENGINEERING
By Sadhguru

Inner Engineering – A Yogi’s Guide to Joy, a New York Times Bestseller, is a guide to self-empowerment that relies on the teaching and principles of classical yoga to help readers create an enduring foundation for inner stability and peace. For the first time, Sadhguru presents readers with a path to achieving absolute well-being through the classical science of yoga in a practical, accessible book. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy.

In this transformative book, Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening, from a boy with an 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, from which he emerged radically changed. Today, as the founder of Isha, he lights the path for millions. The wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging book offers readers the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.
