1539th BLOG POST -->>
I have almost all the books of
Radhakrishnan Pillai with me but it has been so unfortunate that I only got to
read 2 of them. The first book of Pillai that I read was “Chanakya In You” with
which I wasn’t much impressed because I got very little to learn from it as my
expectations were quite big with the author. Last week, I picked up his latest
release “Chanakya in Daily Life” published by Rupa Publication. The cover page
of the book is so interesting that I think the people who judge the book by its
cover are already going to make this one a Bestseller. Haha! Rest, talking
about the fulfillment of my expectations this time, I am in awe of the book and
the kind of stuffs I got familiar with after going through the book.
The book is divided into three
parts: Personal life, Professional life and Family life. Author gives insight
regarding various topics under each of the section for which we should take
care despite of whatever tasks we are busy in. He shares Chanakya’s words in
between of the chapters and then tells us how we can follow his advice in today’s
time. He also gives due credit to Chanakya for sensing the future so rightly
that few of his advices are genuine even after thousand years of his writings. The
best part about the book is that nothing is spoken in philosophical voice where
comprehending few things becomes difficult for the reader. The easy language
and simple sentence formation helps reader to capture the tips and tools shared
for a happy life easily without re-reading the sentences.
The examples given in the
chapters help to understand the concepts of Arthashastra and Chanakya Niti. I
basically liked how even the small things like how to start the day, how to
talk with others, how to be a good parent, how to maintain balance in life, how
to make friends, what to do before sleeping etc. are discussed which can
actually make big differences in life. Overall, this book is a recommended one
for your shelf. Do not miss this book in any case. One of the best works of
Radhakrishnan Pillai for sure even though I haven’t read all of his works.
Haha! I rate this book 4 stars out of 5.
Thanks.
