“Believe those who believe in the idea of you.”

How often I felt that I am unnecessarily exploiting this genre called self-help because every time I'm getting the same messages one way or the other, but in the back of my mind I knew that my insatiable appetite to learn more wouldn't let me rest and I came across this book. A book that is so down to earth and practical, delivering such powerful insights. 'Be You Now' is subtle in its way while keeping sanity. A must have book for everyone who wants to take control of their life.

A fantastically written monologue yet it doesn't feel monotonous. This book grabbed my attention from the very start with its fluid narrative, I just glided with the flow and finished the book in one go. The notable thing is this book tried to go out of the common self-help jargons and dropped some real practical thoughts to approach life in a more practical way that suits most people. Its easy to understand and makes the point clear. The topic ranges from wide variety and each topic is interrelated that gives a holistic outlook on changing our behavioral pattern so that every human being is capable of leading a fulfilled life. It has pinpointed the problems accurately and tried to solve it with realistic steps.

I like how unapologetic it is on pointing out the so called self-help myths. From the perspective of how seamlessly it's written it can be of help to many out there. Recommended to beginners as well.

Why and What ? I was always asked while growing up what is your Goal and Why do you want that! No one helped me to find the motivation behind that What and Why.

My experience with a self help books were a hate hate relationship. Overloaded with philosophy and giving larger than life advice, they always bored me. This changed until I found Be You Now.

Sagar Makwana, digs deep into you and try to bring out the reason behind your Why and What. He managed to address the solutions to the distractions which we often face while trying to find ourselves through practical excercise. The author not only provides you with scientific method of finding yourself but also he states some of his experiences and wants to transform your thoughts so that you don't commit the same mistake. A leader himself never says, but reflects. This book is a supreme example of leadership quality of the author too.

The most scientific approach that I found in the author's approach is that he not only evolved his own models but also developed some existing models. Like a modified version of Convey's Model. The author wins the race by his approach . This book is for everyone, from a non planner like me to a planner like you .

"The You is talking about You. Are you listening?"

I haven't came across such a relatable quote in a long time. On analyzing deep I found the author wants you to dig deep into your own soul to bring out the pure soul from within. This leads me to mention about the SAMVED Model. If you really want to know about your "you within you" , this is one of best possible way to find out.

What impresses me most about the book, how the author balanced the four factors of life together. Time-Money-Relationships-Ambition . No one can have a balance between these four, I always thought but reading this book I know how wrong I was. Everything is interrelated. This is another important highlight of this book. Probably the one of the most important highlight.

Are you looking for a self help book that speaks science not just philosophy, that shares thoughts with data not just larger than life stories then you are at right stop. Be You Now is that book for you.

I love how the book is framed into a practical approach throughout. The illustration makes it easier to comprehend everything in a simpler form of it. The comparisons give you a better understanding of where you have to go or what’s the difference between them. And the quiz makes it better to give you a dedicated result to help you show where you stand.
It covers the defined experience with realistic examples to guide you with the topics which are going to help you move forward in the longer run. The author ends the book on a touching note while taking you through the summary of whatever you have read and maybe applied till then and makes us revise everything again.
The author has made it a guide/ handbook for you to transform your life in a very interesting way with some better insightful tools and the energy to face your problems head-on to achieve your goals.
After you finish reading you will have a better understanding of who you are and why you are the way and it will make your journey to your best self much more worthy and significant. You will feel that change taking place within you as you implement it in your life. It’s like magic working within you.

Be You. Now! by Sagar Makwana is a self-help guide on how one can sail through the storms of uncertainties and continue to lead their best life. All by being their true selves. The book essentially helps one in filtering the lists of needs and wants and figuring out what's best fit for them. This book helps one in curbing their fear and going ahead to become what they truly want.

Packed with insights and valuable approaches, Be You, Now! promises to provide you with solutions on how to achieve personal success and fulfilment. Divided into 10 chapters, the book attempts to communicate thought-provoking ideas on finding one's core strength and allowing it to shape their life.

It lays emphasis on strengthening your 'why,' discovering your core purpose, embracing it, and then moving out of your comfort zone. The examples and anecdotes supporting the arguments presented in the book are grounded in real-life and drive a reader's interest.

The fluid writing, coupled with numerous illustrations and graphical representations, makes this book an interesting read. There are quizzes, quotes, and actionable tips that would help you in not just reading and assimilating the information but also reflecting upon it. There are quite a lot of self-help books out there. But if you wish to start from something, let this one be your pick!

It is highly a must read. I truly believe that one can never stop being oneself but at the same time it is highly important that we figure out our true self. It is a book which can lead us to meet the true self a clear confrontation. One thing about self help books and why i be choosy about them is the narratives. If the cruncy element of taking the reader for a ride through the pages is missing then the self helps become quite off the track but this book is quite different, it has many illustrations and explanations which can be so helpful to unleash the tiger inside. I had read somewhere that before we explain it to someone else we have to be confident enough and believe in it first, we need to have a peaceful amount of time with oneself and understand the signals our mind gives regarding our personnna, we all must invest that much in ourselves since we are our own homes and we must know ourselves better and be one with the feeling and get our mind and thoughts aligned before we expect anyone else to do so. The best part about this book personally for me was the chapter which teaches us to deal with our priorities, most of us don't even know how much we keep pushing down our priorities, truly said 'Align your core to the priorities and everything else will fall back in place', and not to forget the small stories in the form of explanatory examples which keeps the reader hooked. The elements have been broken down in bits to make way in the mind of reader, the introductory part, the explanatory part, supportive theories, diagrammatic explanations and the lucid language. There are other chapters too which i liked like Facing your fears and Embracing YOU within but i will be more bent towards the chapter of priorities since that was something i personally was struggling with. It is clearly not a monologue but author has made tables of interaction where we can add our personal experiences. Let alone reading and embracing the content won't help but embracing the potential within to change things in life which can eventually lead to mental peace is my only agenda with this book. It's a must read for all kinds of reader because who doesn't wants to work on oneself!.

I must say, the author has done an excellent job in crafting a book that not only challenges readers to evaluate their lives but also offers insightful solutions on how to achieve personal success and fulfillment. The book is a captivating read from start to finish and speaks to the author's strong convictions and beliefs about self-actualization.

One of the things I appreciated about the book is how the author emphasizes the importance of finding joy and fulfillment in our lives, without linking success solely to financial gain. The book's main message encourages readers to assess their priorities in life and to take proactive steps towards achieving their goals.

The author's approach to self-evaluation is unique and thought-provoking, with the inclusion of quiz sessions on various aspects of life. I found these to be a great addition to the book as they allowed me to assess where I stand in terms of my own personal goals.

The author's ideas on the four quadrants of success (Existential, delusional, Implementer, and Phoenix) are also original and practical, providing readers with a framework to assess their own success and to avoid the pitfalls of delusion.

The chapter on Implementer, Manager, and Leader is an eye-opener and provides valuable insights for readers who are looking to improve their leadership skills. The author's personal anecdotes and stories also add an engaging and relatable element to the book.

Have you laid out plans for your life? If yes, have you thought of the difficulties that you might endure in your path? Is your plan B ready if nothing is working out?

Be you Now by Sagar Makwana helps you in clearly planning your life's objectives, depending on your priorities and preferences. Most importantly, it helps you gain confidence and become optimistic about your plans because each one of us will have a different plan for ourselves. Sagar, an entrepreneur himself, has put forth instances from his own life, which makes the content more relatable.

Not just like another self-help book - this one has quizzes, illustrations, and diagrams that will help the reader understand the problem statement and have no confusion. I suggest you read this in solitude so that you can completely digest all the topics. Also, take your time while reading and do not hurry. I also request you to read the examples thoroughly so that the facts are clear in the mind.

One of those unique books which we read in years. I truly appreciate the way the author has brought all the points which is very crucial for the acknowledgement of potential and utilisation of skills.

I thoroughly loved reading as it is so accessible to grasp the given insights. The author has made it more lucid by sharing his personal experiences which shows how working on the fundamentals redefine the path for the success.

FPT (First Principles Thinking) is a very unique principle discussed in this book which explains how important it is to understand the fundamentals of every work. It helps to recognise the real problem that gives the various factors to fix at the very initial stage.

In this book, I got to learn about the priorities and how comfort zones exploit our potential. This book vividly shares the insights on relationship management which has a very significant role in our life.

Overall, it's an amazing book one can learn so many things from this single self-help book.

Who looks outside, dreams;
Who looks inside, awakes.
A beautiful book with a beautiful cover written by Sagar Makwana.
This book contains 10 chapters, each with a detailed explanation and with a pragmatic approach.
We all are stuck somewhere in our life. Everyone tells us different ways to get out of that chaos.
But no one can answer the hows in our life.
This book is really helpful and alleviates you in a really practical way.

The writer explained every problem that can come up and explained What is its reason? why it can come and in what way we can think to solve it. That too has been explained very well and its solution has also been explained step by step.

Each chapter is divided into 2,3 parts.
Like All the possible reasons, all the possible outcomes, and all the possible solutions.
The author did not just talk theoretically. Every single talk of the book is focused on the actionable direction.
"you are not a drop in the ocean.
You are the entire ocean in the drop."
And the end " Be You Now" is the attempt To learn to teach that yes we can learn from the mistakes of others from the lives of others.
But we should not ignore our life, our feelings, and our thinking because, in the end, our own life gives us the biggest lesson.
Be kind to your emotions, and be aware of what you want.
Enjoy the book full of mindfulness and self-awareness.

The book that teaches you to become a better version of yourself. It motivates readers to unshackle themselves and find a larger purpose to create a wider impact in their work and life. The book explores various aspects including diet, with the help of principles, flow chart and model, that can help readers achieve greater impact through their work.

The book is well-written and easy to read, and the author's insights are grounded in real-world examples and some conversations. The focus on personal responsibility and resilience is particularly compelling, as it empowers readers to take control of their life and make a positive change in their life. The uses of quotes by famous persons made this book even more appealing.


Overall, BE YOU NOW is a valuable resource, which helps someone to find their strength, importance and help them align with their goal. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to raise the level of their self-esteem and radically change their life.

✨️📖 Book Review 📖✨️

Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"What if I fail?"
"Even if I fail, What's the worst thing that could happen?"

-- Be You. NOW!

This is one of the most fundamental questions we ask ourselves when we are at the face of any predicament in life. So is this book by Makwana. Fundamental.

In this #bookreview I will tell you why.

✅️ This isn't just any self-help book in the market. It is by far one of the most practical self-help books I have come across. Makwana lays out empirical ways in which you can tackle your battles in life.

✅️ The book covers important aspects of life such as purpose of life, prioritization, acceptance, time management, company, comfort zone, and many more. Overall, it provides a distinctive wholesomeness in lieu of overcomplicated ideas or oversimplification of the solutions. This one has the perfect balance.

✅️ The graphics aids in identification of the issues that you face and helps with the best solutions that will benefit you, so that you can 'BECOME YOU'.

Overall, I loved this book for its pragmatism and candor in explaining how simple unidentified things can have huge impact on our productivity.
Shared some of my favourite parts of the book. ❤️🌻

It is a must-have in your #bookself because you can pick it up anytime and look for answers. I assure you that you will definitely find something worthwhile every single time you read this book.

Highly recommend it.

If you are a fan of Atomic Habits by James Clear, you will love this one. 😀 ❤️✨️

BE YOU NOW! Redefine Your Approach To Life by Sagar Makwana
.
A few days across I came across a book from a fellow reader's account titled "Be You Now! Redefine Your Approach To Life" by Sagar Makwana.

I have always believed that self-help books are great to have a perspective but they won't make any significant changes in your personality or productivity.

But this one was surely something different because this book not just filled my mind with great ideas to deal with problems like Procrastination, Time management, Knowing the comfort zone, Finding the purpose, and Recognizing my priorities, but also gave some potent techniques that did change something in me.

The author uses graphs, tables, flowcharts, quotes, and anecdotes to make the reading experience better for the readers.

In some of the chapters, the author has tried to communicate with the reader by giving a short questionnaire that could help the reader to understand more about themselves and relate their ideas of productivity with the ideas mentioned in the book.

After every chapter, you will find all the learnings from the book mentioned as a summary, which will help the readers to outline all the teachings from the chapter.

According to me, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their productivity, time management, and overall effectiveness. It's a well-thought, neatly constructed, and lucidly written book.

The concepts are timeless and applicable to
both personal and professional contexts. By implementing the ideas presented in this book, readers can gain greater clarity and direction in their lives, and ultimately achieve their goals with greater ease and efficiency.

Be You. Now! is a self-help book that provides practical wisdom and powerful techniques to help individuals navigate the uncertain world we live in. The book is all about finding oneself and letting your capabilities speak instead of hiding them in a closet. Let’s first talk about the author. Sagar Makwana is an entrepreneur by profession, and a speaker and coach by passion.His active participation in the world of coaching began after acquiring his Master’s Diploma in Training from IATD Chennai in 2019. Since then, he has passionately involved himself in his journey to bring about change by spreading positivity. He even launched his own signature course, “Let’s Love Living”, in 2020 that has impacted more than three hundred people so far. The program is designed around a set of activities that helps participants to tap into the power of their subconscious mind.A firm believer in the power of introspection and self-awareness, Sagar likes to make people uncomfortable with thought-provoking questions. Lets now dive into the book. The book is quite an easy read with 10 chapters talking about different types of topics, which one would need to understand to change themselves and bring a change to their life by practically applying the advice given. The book goes on talking about topics like, Time management and understanding yourself, the comfort zone and connecting the dots to make it circle. These topics bring about and discuss the certain things that one must need to understand in order to bring changes in them like managing time and personally, understanding the capacities of oneself and then not only trying to put efforts without understanding but connecting certain things that would help to make it a complete product. These 10 chapters not only tell you what needs to be done, but it also lets you understand and imply on how one must do this. Because the objective of this book is to make one who is lost from his oneself, realise what is capabilities are and how we can find oneself to actually get into the driving seat of his life, and bring changes which would not only help him to be a successful person, but also make him a happier and productive being. While going through the book, I realised that the book not only provides theoretical information about the subject, but also provides diagrams and charts which make the representation of the same, easier to understand. Although the language of the book is very easy, inclusion of such kinds of things make a person's understanding a bit easier. I appreciate the author for including such illustrations and re-presentation, it makes it easier to remember. The chapter summaries, at the end of each one is great because it gives a clear and concise revision of what the chapter actually wishes to tell you, it also acts as a guide, and one can always refer to such summaries whenever they find themselves in a situation of confusion of thought. I would say that this book would act as a guide to people who are finding it difficult to know their boundaries, probabilities, strengths, and the process in which they need to act to change themselves to find and attain goals. To summarise, I would say that the book covers all the problems or situations faced by a person who is under the process of changing themselves, bringing the good out of themselves or even trying to find the weeds out of the situations, which have been an obstacle to his growth. One of The quotes, which is actually a proverb mentioned in the book Will always be in my mind when I am stressing about something. The quote or the problem goes as follows, “ stress is you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” To describe the book in three words, those would be – simple, impactful and practical.

Though I was a bit skeptical (as I always tend to be when I have to read a Self-help or self-motivation books) before receiving the book, I found it very down to earth and relatable as I started reading through it.
My congratulations to the author, who is an Entrepreneur, hardly 33 years old, for producing such a well-thought out, neatly structured, lucidly written book, which totally reflects his convictions, self-confidence and self-actualization. The book is very lively to read from start to end.
The author has made clear right from the beginning that the thrust of the book is to do a thorough self-evaluation to know our priorities in life; find ways and means to get more joy and fulfillment in what we do. He has also not missed out the consequences that may affect our other stakes in life when we go about with our prime quest.
Unlike the typical western thinking, thankfully, the author has not linked 'success' to money-making as the predominant factor.
I noticed the book has shared some of the ideas of "Start With Why", but there are intersecting additions on how innovation, intuition and passion come into picture. They are quite interesting and informative.
I enjoyed the Quiz sessions (under Time, Relationship etc) and assessed myself as to where I stand! Nice. Good clarity. The explanative discussions on the scores of the quiz were quite to the point and very balanced.
I also liked the way the author has added 'circle of no control' into the Stephen Covey's 'circle of control' and 'circle of concern'! That's the indication of practical spirituality in the author.
The ideas of 4-quadrants (Existential, delusional, Implementer and Phoenix) of success are all well developed and original. Very practical indeed. The curve of delusion is perhaps the reason for the failure of 90% of startups.
The Implementer - Manager - Leader chapter is also a good one -- could be an eye opener for many. if only they are willing to open their eyes!
Well! Till the end, it was an engaging book to read. I also enjoyed "It's Pneumatics da" and such other anecdotes!
On the flip side, I felt some of the diagrams in the book could have been clearer and better readable. Though building the narratives based on personal experiences made the book interesting and lively, I could not avoid the thought that the book was a shade more auto-biographical.
Overall, the book has a lot to offer to serious readers who want to correctly assess their lives vis-a-vis their dreams, aspirations and real capabilities and move forward taking proactive steps to achieve what brings happiness and fulfilment in their lives.

"Be You Now" by Sagar Makwana is a self-help book that focuses on discovering one's true self and finding purpose in life. The book explains how societal conditioning shapes an individual's personality and forces them to follow a set pattern for success. The author believes that each individual has unique core strengths and must find their own path to success.

The book is written in a step-by-step process, which guides the readers in planning their life's objectives, depending on their priorities and preferences. Sagar, an entrepreneur himself, shares instances from his own life, making the content more relatable.

One of the highlights of the book is the chapter on "Three Returns." The author emphasizes that it is crucial to have a balance in seeking financial returns, as the financial returns provide peace and happiness only when we get emotional and true social returns along with it. Concentrating solely on financial returns may lead to losing out on emotional returns and receiving fake social returns. This concept encourages the reader to re-evaluate their priorities and focus on achieving a well-rounded life.

The book is not just like another self-help book. It has quizzes, illustrations, and diagrams that help the reader understand the problem statement and eliminate confusion. The examples provided in the book are relatable, making it easy for the reader to apply the concepts to their own life.
It is recommended to read the book in solitude to ensure that the reader can fully digest all the topics. Also, taking time while reading and not hurrying is advised. The author's request to read the examples thoroughly is essential, as it helps in understanding the facts and applying them to real-life situations.

In conclusion, "Be You Now" by Sagar Makwana is a highly recommended self-help book for those who are on the path of finding their life purpose. It guides readers in understanding their true selves and planning their lives based on their preferences and priorities. The book provides valuable insights and practical advice that can help readers achieve success and happiness.

🔖Who will be with you in your hardest time? Who knows you better than anyone? 

⏳Your friends and family are sure, but aren't you forgetting someone? 

⏳Stop wondering,ITS YOU 

⏳That's what this book is all about.

⏳"The power of effort and the satisfaction you get from it is underrated." - 

⏳BE YOU NOW BY SAGAR MAKWANA is one of the most practical, realistic and useful books I have ever read.

⏳There are various self-help books which help you in your professional life. Some of them help you in your personal growth : 

But this is the first self-help book :

⏳"Which Focuses on embracing yourself ".

⏳It revolves around different chapters that include some practical tasks for readers to find out their answers too.

⏳ With various examples and practical facts, the author himself includes some memorable moments of his life in a way that you will understand the chapter with clear understanding.

⏳In one of the chapters - there is the concept of "Understanding Inertia Of Your Life" - how we always never work on something, someone pushes you hard towards it.

⏳For better understanding, the author uses how losing his father affected him to step back, forgetting his goals, dream, prioritise and the same thing, the same incident pushed him ahead towards his priorities, his goals- this part is the most touching and my favourite part of the book.

⏳How effectively he expressed the tragic incident to connect with great learning.

⏳There is also a concept about financial returns, mental returns and social returns, as well as being aware of financial returns, but the other two are completely different and new to me and something I learnt for the first time.

⏳I took part in every task that lay within the book for useful understanding.

⏳It includes all the things we often ignore in our lives, the biggest or smallest decisions.

⏳For me it's not about just reading, but I will implement all these practices, principal and techniques in my life.

⏳A self-help book that influences you -

Be You. Now! - Redefine Your Approach to Life is not your regular self-help guide, telling you to do something, change, or give tips and tricks that will instantly make you fall in love with yourself. No. This book has multiple deep levels that help you to improve your reaction with yourself with the inner conversation, but also understand and know yourself more with self-awareness. This mix of self-awareness with inner conversation can take you to high levels of peace, calmness, and love for yourself.

The way the author has described human beings, the way we work, function, what we can be, who we already are - all of it validates the title, as the book teaches us the art of talking to ourselves.

The language is easy to read, but not very simple. There are complex concepts explained, resulting to a complex writing style. However, there is an ample amount of metaphors and analogies that simplify every concept, making it easier for the reader to understand the author.

The only way to check the intensity and importance of the content is to read it. It cannot be explained in words. The content relates to every reader differently. The content is a lifetime process, but the practice will make you bloom and shine.

Sagar Makwana is an excellent author. The book quality is fantastic. Even though all of the titles are in public domain, which means they are freely available online, I wanted a printed book copy to read to have that experience of reading. I got the book at an amazing price and am happy with my purchase!
I loved this book. If you are someone like me, who is constantly trying to understand yourself, love yourself, make peace with yourself, and become limitless, this is your book.

The author has rightly explained that Clarity and Confusion are two sides of the same coin. It is also true that curiosity sometimes shows the way to clarity and sometimes it cultivates confusion.

In the first chapter of this book, the author, one thing has been said 100% true and real, is that Clarity and Confusion are two faces of the equivalent coin. I also feel that sometimes in the process of finding clarity in life, confusion is created in our life, which also becomes quite problematic. This book will help you in your life to eliminate these confusions.

Many such principles have been given in this book that alleviate you and it has also been told how to apply these FPT in your life. Which helps in discarding confusion in your life and helps in getting clarity so that you can think about your life appropriately. The author has also elucidated a remarkably significant thing in this book which is the true meaning of purpose because people have created many misunderstandings regarding this in life. I liked the best thing in this book, that the author told us how we should give significance to our priorities and how to recognize them. I think this topic is extremely valuable in the life of all of us. Often I have seen in life that not all of us can give importance to our priorities.

The author has also told many other important things in this book such as the importance of time and that we should not always work by staying in our comfort zone. I also believe this in my life.

I would just like to say that if you are fond of reading self-help books like me, then this book will prove to be an extremely pleasant option for you and also you will get to read incredibly good thoughts and quotes in this book.

While this book teaches us to redefine our approach to life, it helps us align with our priorities and our goals. In a subtle, and interesting way, Sagar Makwana with his book, ‘ Be You Now!’ teaches us the lessons for life.

Sagar Makwana’s, Be You Now is more than just a self-help guide; it’s a roadmap to understanding one’s true self and making positive life changes. At its core, the book emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and prioritizing and guides readers on a path of self-discovery and personal growth.

Sagar shares his journey which is again intriguing to read. His journey is no less than a roller-coaster ride, what makes it riveting is what inspires him. Be it lyrics from a song or a quote from a famous author, sometimes one line is enough to change your perspective and here we see his situation and his growth which makes us believe, ‘Life can change any moment, Enjoy and Embrace the growth and the situations.’

With a combination of candid storytelling, practical exercises, and illustrative charts to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible to readers from all walks of life. This approach not only educates but also captivates, keeping readers invested from start to finish. From the start, Sagar maintains a light and positive tone throughout, keeping readers engaged. Sagar’s writing style is both practical and engaging. He keeps the concepts light, to the point, and interactive making it easy for the readers.

📝In the nightmarish world of achieving goals, targets, and milestones, we forget who we are, what we are meant to be, and what we are capable of doing. And when we finally wake up from the nightmare, we are desperate to search for answers amidst the dirt and the fog that has blurred our life.

📝Yet the reality is that there is no such answers that we can seek from anyone at all. These answers can only be found by ourselves only, in pursuit of seeking the answers we must analyse ourselves by our own eyes and write them as we pursue this self exploration.

📝This book serves as a guide for the people who are willing to seek answers. It helps the reader contemplate and brainstorm, on several factors that are associated with the process of introspection. I've shared some of these models, figures and thoughts above.

📌From suggesting some of the very effective methods for problem solving such as First Principle Technique to stating some of the very fundamentals factors of life such as relationships and priorities.

📌 It's a short and concise title, with a variety of exercise which helps understanding the written effective methods and practices. There are summaries at the end of each chapter that results in a comprehensive reading experience.

📌If you're someone who is looking for a way to Introspect or want a framework to help you with self exploration, then this might be a good fit for your bookshelf.

I really love reading non- fiction books that help us to become the better versions of ourselves.

'Being You Now' by Sagar Makwana is an amazing book that I recently read.

Unlike other self-development books where we find only book bookish discussions, this book has a much larger practical aspect.

While reading the book I was feeling like someone is sitting in front of me and giving me the valuable suggestions — this is because of the lively writing style of the author.

Author Makwana has explained the importance of finding our true self and realising our true potentialities.
He is also stating how we can acquire that.


In every chapter author is making its reader to think and work on the valuable suggestions that he has given. For reader's convenience, he summarised the whole chapters at the end — I find this feature really amazing and his effort behind writing this book is clearly visible here.

Some tasks are also given in each chapter so that you understand everything in a better and simple way.

One thing I absolutely love about this book is its quotes— there are many valuable quotes in this book. Among them one of my favourite one is—

" The mark of a great man is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones." —Brandon Sanderson

Author has used simple language so that everyone can easily understand this book.

I highly recommend this book to everyone because it is a life changing book.

Often, we create misconceptions about purpose. And so the author took the word "purpose" which is more important in life and explained the true meaning of purpose in this book. Along with this, the author took the life priority and guided us how to identify it and give importance to it too. Many things have been clearly shared in this book which can be very useful in our life such as the importance of time, comfort zone, time management, company, acceptance and many more.

It is an exceptional self-help book that offers practical and pragmatic solutions to life's battles. The book is a must-have for anyone seeking a step-by-step process to live life on their own terms.

The book is totally engaging by narrative part and the wonderful illustrations make it easier to understand the concepts presented. The author provides many helpful self-help tables and questionnaires that are invaluable tools for navigating difficult situations.

The topics covered are wide-ranging yet interrelated, giving a holistic outlook overall on changing our behavioral patterns to lead a fulfilled life. The author accurately pointed and highlighted the problems that we face in our life and offers realistic steps to solve them which included the balance of financial, emotional and social.

This book can help many people to understand their core strengths and how to use it. Also it helps to find their path of success. Highly recommended to transform your life.
