With Sadhguru

"No one is responsible for my death. My brain is my enemy." — Sadhguru
Sadhguru, on the episode

Sadhguru, yogi, mystic, and founder of Isha Foundation, sits down with Shawn Ryan for a wide-ranging conversation that cuts beneath the self-help industry's surface-level prescriptions. The pop framing of mental wellness is stress management, coping strategies, and being present. The operating system Sadhguru is actually running is different: the mind is the most sophisticated instrument ever produced by millions of years of evolution, and almost nobody has been given a user's manual for it. The result is that people use a razor-sharp knife without knowing which end is the handle. This protocol pulls the most operationally grounded ideas from the conversation, prioritizing the ones with concrete experiments, numbered results, or a specific repeatable action the reader can run this week.
