Reviews

[Vinayak Minde]

I honestly picked this one thinking that such a small read would help me to come out of my reading slump. Also I was curious to see what these 21 big ideas are.
Throughout the book I felt a sort of disconnect within content. Could never feel a proper flow while I was reading it. Ideas are described at a surface level. Practically there is nothing I could retain. Instead of 21 ideas, I would have preferred something that deep dives in select few ideas and actually delivers a value add to a reader.

[Bhavya Pandit]

Glad to’ve spent no more than 20mins and Rs. 200 on this. The most generic, unstructured mishmash of self-improvement tips.
Avoid. Or, read a chapter inside the bookshop itself and you’ll know exactly what I mean.
