मधुशाला में एक सौ पैंतीस रूबाइयाँ (यानी चार पंक्तियों वाली कविताएँ) हैं।
मधुशाला की हर रूबाई मधुशाला शब्द से समाप्त होती है। हरिवंश राय बच्चन ने मधु, मदिरा, हाला (शराब), साकी (शराब पड़ोसने वाली), प्याला (कप या ग्लास), मधुशाला और मदिरालय की मदद से जीवन की जटिलताओं के विश्लेषण का प्रयास किया है। मधुशाला जब पहली बार 1935 में प्रकाशित हुई तो शराब की प्रशंसा के लिए कई लोगों ने उनकी आलोचना की। लेकिन गांधी जी ने इसकी प्रशंसा की।
बाद के दिनों में मधुशाला इतनी मशहूर हो गई कि जगह-जगह इसे नृत्य-नाटिका के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया। मधुशाला की चुनिंदा रूबाइयों को मन्ना डे ने एल्बम के रूप में प्रस्तुत किया। इस एल्बम की पहली कविता स्वयं बच्चन ने गाई। हरिवंश राय बच्चन के पुत्र अमिताभ बच्चन ने न्यू यॉर्क के लिंकन सेंटर सहित कई जगहों पर मधुशाला की रूबाइयों का पाठ किया।

This isn’t a book about BECOMING it’s about BEING: noted psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy shows how to imagine the person you want to be, then BE that person now. When you do this, your imagined FUTURE directs your behavior, rather than your past.
Who is your Future-Self?
That question may seem trite. But it’s literally the answer to all of your life’s questions. It’s the answer to what you’re going to do today. It’s the answer to how motivated you are, and how you feel about yourself. It’s the answer to whether you’ll distract yourself on social media for hours, whether you’ll eat junk food, and what time you get up in the morning.
Your imagined Future-Self is the driver of your current reality. It is up to you to develop the ability to imagine better and more expansive visions of your Future-Self.
Your current view of your Future-Self is very limited. If you seek learning, growth, and new experiences, you’ll be able to imagine a different and better Future-Self than you currently can.
It’s not only useful to see your Future-Self as a different person from who you are today, but it is also completely accurate. Your Future-Self will not be the same person you are today. They will see the world differently. They’ll have had experiences, challenges, and growth you currently don’t have. They’ll have different goals and priorities. They’ll have different habits. They’ll also be in a different world—a world with different cultural values, different technologies, and different challenges.
