So, I happened to pick this Radhkrishnan Pillai’s book up on the recommendation of a friend. Having read books on Chanakya, I was wondering what is this book that is going to offer me.

An interesting read, for sure. And as the book claims, this isn’t just those one-time read books but one that we can and need to go over again and again.

This book is about how we can make the best of our lives by living better and inculcating habits that would prove fruitful.

Interestingly, this book goes over each dimension of our lives – personal, professional and familial. He then breaks down each into several sub-aspects and tries to join them all till everything as a whole, makes sense.

A definite read – to remind ourselves of the little things we tend to forget in the tryst of life and this journey ahead.

I was in awe of few of the quotes this book quotes and few that were written here in. Leaving them below.

The key to a successful marriage is a good life partner. If your spouse is also

a good friend, then your journey at this stage will be a lot smoother.

Try to follow Steven Covey’s advice. He said, ‘Begin with the end in mind.’

What this means is one should visualize oneself being taken away on their

funeral. At the moment when you visualize that, ask yourself—looking back, if

you could choose, what kind of life would you have wanted to live?

Start living that kind of life. Right now.

The heart, your inner voice, always knows right from wrong.

Listen to that voice.

‘I AM A self-made person.’

There cannot be a more arrogant and selfish statement than this.

READING BUILDS THE character of a man. Writing completes it.

There are happily unmarried people too in this world, just as there are

happily married people. Remember, the key word is ‘happy’. Happiness is what

you should seek in your life, married or not.”

A poor hard-working man once told his wife, ‘One day we will be rich.’ The

wife looked into his eyes and said, ‘We are already rich, we have each other.

One day we will have money too.

It does not matter if you have ten children or just one child. Parenting is not

about numbers, it is about helping your child reach its full potential.

Remember, true love is always without attachment.
