Emotion
“One can make any emotion into a creative force in one’s life.”
– Sadhguru
It’s not just poetic license that allows us to refer to emotions as “juicy”. In a literal sense also, emotions are a chemical cocktail that course through our bodies. But while we have no problems with pleasant emotions, unpleasant emotions are the source of much angst in our lives. In The Juice of Life, Sadhguru looks at the gamut of human emotions and how to turn them into stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks.
Sadhguru is a yogi and profound mystic of our times. An absolute clarity of perception places him in a unique space in not only matters spiritual but in business, environmental and international affairs, and opens a new door on all that he touches.

Deep when you think about the complete conversations after completing the book!

The way Sadhguru Shri. Jaggi Vasudev speaks is so eloquent. It is so convincing even if there are blunders and all. But as he says, if you believe something then be in it. In this book, it dealt with the shades of human emotions and perceptions. We would definitely get some ideas to think and reflect to upkeep our mind more realistic.

I broke my own rule: never trust a contemporary guru with a microphone.
If recycled mysticism, vague metaphors and arrogant overconfidence could power the world, this book would solve the energy crisis. Each chapter promises cosmic wisdom, delivers word salad, and then thanks you for digesting it.
Still, my parents gifted it to me with love, so I’m giving it five stars - for each of their blessings, and none for the content.
If enlightenment were measured in eye-rolls, I’m basically liberated now.

"The way you think is the way you feel and the way you feel is the way you think" often it happens we go on reacting on our thoughts which in turn affects our emotions towards a person we take our psychological reality too seriously : Emotions often surge up and are expressed based on a very distorted perception based solely on thought
Emotions are the most beautiful aspect of being a human and so they should be used likewise to nurture ourselves and our relationships !!

Practical and insightful
The advice shared are so threadbare and straight forward you don't have to make an effort to see the relevance and practicality of the words. It is a good book to read if you are ready to break out of the comfort zone of being miserable in your own thoughts and discover the fountain of blissfulness, playfulness and mindfulness within you. Thank you for writing this.

So clarity in perception. It is composed of question-answer session which covers everything about emotions and I’m sure you will relate each every question that has been asked by questioners.
There will few things which may be bouncers to you but m sure you will get your answer very clearly.

Great book
Great insight on emotions and devotions.
But as someone who reading sadhguru for past 2 years. I find the contents are already read or seen on videos before. If u are new to sadhguru definitely a good book.

"Emotions are chemical Cocktails that course through to our bodies triggering responses and reactions"
*INTRODUCTION*

💥Consciousness and Unconsciousness
Human consciousness only can create blissful emotions. Unconsciousness and compulsiveness can create great misery. So we need to bring that consciousness within ourselves then only we can create pleasantness
💥CREATE OR NOT TO CREATE
Each action has its consequence if you cannot handle its consequence. you better not create one.

For all these emotions, the main roots are our brain and body we need to pay attention to that root then only we can control emotions. Like, we can apply this though in every single problem or activity to enhaitsit's productivity.

In this book of emotion- the juice of life, Sadguru answers the questions about the gamut of human emotions such as jealousy, hatred, sadness and briefly discussed the ways to turn these deadly chemical cocktails in to creative energy rather than stumbling blocks. At the end he briefly explains the 'Isha Kriya yoga' as a 12 minute meditation (to be done twice for 48 days cycle or once 90 days), Isha mean the souce of creation & kriya means internal action, to bring the ultimate wellbeing in life by creating a total clarity on life. 3 stars for this one.

Bought this book as part of two in one (Book-1 :Relationship, Book- 2:Emotion). This is also a good read like most of Sadhguru's books but not as good as the Book-1: Relationship which was perfect.

I love these books so very much. This one was far too short. But oh so very good.

Sadhguru: If there is no emotion at all in a human being, you cannot call him human. Emotion is a beautiful aspect of human life, without which a human being would become ugly. But as with anything, if emotion becomes unbridled, it becomes madness. If your thought becomes uncontrolled, it will become madness. If your emotion becomes uncontrolled, that too becomes insanity.

If your body was functioning very well and beautifully, would you call this a problem? No. If it is painful or diseased, then sitting, standing or bending in the morning is really painful – so you would think this body is a problem. Similarly, you may say you want no emotion simply because you have made a mess out of it. If you had truly beautiful emotions within you which made your life like a flower, you would not think of not having emotions.
I am not telling you to leave your emotions or go beyond them. All I am saying is whether it is your body, your mind, your emotion or your energies – the four dimensions which could be in your experience right now – the first and foremost thing is to make them very pleasant. Once they are very pleasant, they are no longer a problem. Only when the emotions are no longer a problem – when people are not aspiring for anything else and are very joyful – does the longing to go beyond arise.

Quick Read with stories
This book has a different perspective on Emotion , the four chapter can also inspire one to try different kinds of yoga ( not to be understood as body bending ).
