For years, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's talks on the Ashtavakra Gita were the last voice I heard before I fell asleep. I've listened to them hundreds of times. I'm not an awakened sage. I'm just a guy, far from perfect, with a practice and the grace of some teachers who are really high beings. This book is me passing along what they gave me, the way it actually landed in my life and in my business.
It's the ancient conversation between King Janaka and the sage Ashtavakra, and it's not a monk on a mountain asking. It's a king. A guy who has to make payroll. The book walks in three parts: Fire, where hunger and desire become fuel; Cool, where a calm passion makes your action dynamic instead of frantic; and Upward and inward, where you take massive action without being owned by the outcome. Every chapter ends with Do this now: a practice you can do today, not someday.
This book is for purposepreneurs. The people committed to alleviating suffering and adding joy in the world. The coaches, the breathwork facilitators, the yoga teachers, the black sheep who went through the darkness and came out wanting to build something that matters.
