Enlightenment Life the Way it is by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Enlightenment Life the Way it Is is based upon questions and answers by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. Sadhguru is an Indian mystic with thousands of followers all over the world. I visited his impressive ashram, Isha Yoga Center, in Coimbatore some years ago and left with some disappointment, mainly because of the staging of Sadhguru led by a massive group of super annoying devotees who controlled the place in every detail. I never got to talk to Sadhguru himself, but after my stay, I read some of his books. Jaggi Vasudev has published several books, but none are in the Public Domain; yesterday, I was suggested to post this, and here it is (83 pages/1,8 MB).
