All Think, No Rich
“6,200 thoughts a day-only the ones you nurture will grow.” This year, I made a simple but surprisingly tough decision: before buying new books, I’d first read the ones already sitting on my shelf. Easier said than done-I’ve already spotted five shiny titles I’d love to dive into. But we’re growing up now. We’re doing…

Seven Laws, One Reader, Many Lessons
My Honest Reflections on The Seven Spiritual Laws–Deepak Chopra I just finished reading The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success — a book almost as old as I am, yet somehow one I only stumbled upon recently.

Still not a Musketeer
Elon Musk– Ashlee Vance I’m not a big fan of biographies. Or of the main star in this one, to be honest. But I have been trying to finish every book I start, and believe you can’t know less from reading. Even if it’s not a favourite, there are always lessons to take away. This…

Not once, not twice. Thrice. The cover or something about it gave Harlequin romance vibes, and while I used to devour those,…

Not Your Child: Still from The Conscious Parent
We all walk around with an image, an idea about who we are, based mostly on other people’s opinions of us. We hold this dear and react to anything and everything that threatens it or dares to go against it, which is okay really. It only becomes a problem when we become too full of…

It comes naturally.. Or does it? A book review for ‘The Conscious Parent’
I read. I have been reading. I’m not into research papers yet. But I am almost there. I pick up books at random maybe the cover, the author or just the vibe. But I was not ready for The Conscious parent by Shefali Tsabary. From the introduction all the way to the last page. This…
