BLURB:
Joy 24x7 is a very simple but unusual exploration of joy. There is no religion in this book. There are no rituals prescribed here. There is no deep meditation being described here and neither is there any mention to any spiritual practice.
This is not a guidebook. This is not a “self- help” book. It is not going to give you “an instant formula for joy”. But it will surely make you explore your Joy for yourself in a very direct way. The simple, short snippets of daily lives connect with what Sadhguru has to say about Joy, will take you on a wonderful roller coaster ride on Joy with the Master himself.
With Sadhguru’s incredible clarity of expression, his brilliant wit and sense of observation, his ability to bring the most profound aspect in a very simple and direct way, this book is for any human being who seeks to be Joyful.
No matter who you are, what you are trying to do, Sadhguru’s words will touch a wonderful wave of Joy inside you and you will soon be restless to seek Joy 24x7
MY TAKE ON THIS BOOK:
Let me begin with how I got hold of this book first. It has been a year or so I saw some of the interviews of Sadhguru with different personalities, and the answers he replied with were something I really enjoyed. And few months back when I was strolling with my friends, I discovered this book and instantly decided to buy it.
To be honest, we all seek for joy at some point of time. When someone dwell too much upon the expectations and validations of the society, it tends to be the case that the person is living to achieve the expectations and not what he actually want from his/her life.
Joy can be found in little things. Like, I was really happy when I called one of my teachers form college and she said she has been waiting for my call. I was really happy when I heard the voice of a person I haven’t in a long time.
A person can’t be happy all the time, it isn’t possible but the thing that is possible is that we can allow ourselves to gain experience and move ahead. We can allow ourselves to not hold on things and to let go. Life isn’t full of happiness but a balance between everything. So, finding positivity is what can make you happy.
Well, the book has small stories at the beginning of every chapter and exploration and explanation of the facts thereafter. The stories mentioned are of Dev, Lila and their son Arya. (which is very much relatable)
This book isn’t any fictional novel. Perhaps it is a book that will help you in realizing what you are lacking in life.
P.S.- It is a book with very few pages but it will strike you really deep. If you want to discover yourself, go for this book J
Overall rating- 4/5
