Summary

Sadhguru, during his TED Talk in 2009, takes us through his journey from being an extreme skeptic in his younger days to his enlightenment, which left him in a state of inclusiveness where he experienced the very existence as himself. Sadhguru went on to explain why he works incessantly to bring that experience to all of humanity. Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.
