1792nd BLOG POST -->>
As I have always said, I love
reading non-fiction books and generally during weekends, reading non-fiction is
a different game al-together as I get proper place in my bedroom to concentrate
on the mentioned points and make great notes of the same to be referred all lifelong
even after finishing the book. This weekend, I picked up the book named “Infin-eight”
written by Prajeet Budhale. This book is published by Fingerprint Publication
in around 225 pages and also has a tagline which says, “Eight principles for
infinite professional success”. The red cover page of the book with no
overwhelming design gives this book a fresh and sincere look which makes you
pick it up and give it a try.
The book discusses about eight
principles which can give you INFINITE success in your professional world and
career. The non-fiction in self-help genre generally speaks on overall behavioural
transformation which helps you basically with your personal life only, but this
book is focused on making your professional life brighter with each passing
day. The way author has divided chapters where each one of them talks specifically
about a principle gives you ample amount of time to concentrate upon the same
and follow it. With each chapter, you can feel that the book is going to a
different level and you shall also have to up your concentration to receive the
bigger message with each chapter.
When I started reading the 1st
chapter and found that there are sections in between which is asking few
questions and also has left out spaces for us to scribble our answers, I
thought this is just another book which is trying to be interactive with its
mediocre messages but when I witnessed how author makes us revisit our answers,
learn and evaluate ourselves through them and rewrite them if possible, It
actually takes you into a brainstorming session where you are talking and
arguing about yourself with yourself for yourself. Such an incredible way of
teaching us basic things which we miss out in our daily life due to the
illusion we create that things are stressful and end up staying the same.
The diagrammatical representation
made after each chapter to make us understand where the principle lies against us
is very useful and that one image itself gives us the clarity on how we need to
process ourselves further for the progress of our career. I shall not reveal
the principles but just giving an overview, I would say author helps us
understand who we are, what our potentials are and what is the natural
skill/talent we have. Then author structures on how we can develop with the
help of setting our goal and then being able to get close to it through
different methodologies like building great relationships and how we can
convert best of them into interdependent partnerships etc. In the last segment,
author also tells how we should be tracking our progress and keep an open and
positive mind towards the daily situation that is thrown upon us by life.
Overall, this is a to-the-point
book. Talking about few drawbacks, I would say that there should have been more
examples with each chapter as it would have made it more pleasurable for
readers to go ahead with chapters along with case studies and examples. Author
could have also highlighted the main quotes from the book which we can just
go-through while re-reading this book in order to refresh the important points
of each chapter. Except these few observations, this is definitely a book which
you would not just read and keep aside after achieving temporary motivation but
go through its exercises regularly to experience its impact in your
professional life regularly. I give this attempt 4 stars out of 5.
Thanks.
