Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee

In this episode of "Feel Better, Live More," Dr. Rangan Chatterjee interviews Sadhguru, a yogi, mystic, and visionary, about sleep and overall well-being. Sadhguru argues that being awake and aware of life is more important than focusing on sleep, which he sees as a form of downtime. They discuss the importance of perception over expression, being in tune with one's body, and the role of modern medicine versus traditional practices like Ayurveda. Sadhguru shares his perspective on stress, the meaning of yoga, and practical advice for living a more contented and meaningful life, including eating habits and the benefits of showering in the evening. He encourages listeners to focus on aliveness and inner engineering rather than adhering to rigid prescriptions for sleep or health.
