Atman Intelligence is a reflective journey through ten distinct and practical life lessons that focus on clarity, self awareness, and everyday decision making. The lessons are presented as symbolic doors. Each door explores a core aspect of living with awareness, from clarity and courage to compassion and purpose. Drawing from ancient spiritual thought, the book guides us through questions of identity and inner strength.

Reading the book made me feel and think better. This book is introspective. Devoid of heavy philosophy, the writing feels calm, deeply grounded. The familiar form of writing with commonplace examples really elevated my reading experience. I loved how gently the wisdom is delivered in an inviting way. Relevance with the daily life makes the book accessible.

There is a friendliness in the writing that made me pause and reflect, so I took my time reading this one. And I am sure that I'll be returning to it. I love non-fiction books like this.

This book offers a rare map to navigate life’s chaos with clarity, courage, and compassion. Each chapter is a doorway―revealing not just knowledge, but deep transformation.

🌹 The word "ATMAN" means (noun; Hinduism) the spiritual life principle of the universe, especially when regarded as immanent in the individual's real self.
a person's soul.
Ātman, in Hinduism, is the eternal, true self or soul of a living being, distinct from the body and ego. It is considered the essence of consciousness that is unchanging and immortal, a principle that continues to exist and is reborn in new forms based on karma until it achieves liberation (moksha). This individual Ātman is seen as a microcosm of Brahman, the universal spirit or ultimate reality.
So the title means intelligence of/for the soul.
The book 📖 begins with a poem titled, The Game Of Life which I feel gives the "crux" of life 🧬 in a poetic verse.

The preface says,
Step in, dear traveller. A journey of insight & inner mastery awaits.

Before the chapters begin, we get a blank page to write ✍🏻 My Intentions For This Journey, which I really liked because it let me think brainstorm what am I seeking from this book.

The book is further divided into 10 chapters & ends with a summary action guide which I found very pragmatic & useful.
Each chapter is systematically bifurcated & contains quotes, small small anecdotes, life lessons, key takeaways & reflections. It makes you ponder 🤔 💭, reflect, brainstorm & then gives space to actually pen down ✍🏻 your 💬 thoughts.

So yes it's not a quick read because almost after every few paragraphs, one needs to just close the book 📚 & absorb, reflect & think (which is a good thing). I have highlighted & annotated & scribbled on the book, mercilessly even though their is space for reflection after every chapter.

Read this book if you are actually seeking to improve, better, enlighten your true (inner) self.

Atman Intelligence is one of those rare books that gently shifts the way you see life, without overwhelming you. It talks about the mind, emotions, success, relationships, and spiritual growth in a way that feels very real and very personal. What I liked most is that the author does not speak from a distance. He walks you through real stories of people like Arjun, Zara, Aarav, and others, and through their journeys, you begin to see your own patterns and possibilities. These case studies make the concepts easy to understand and more importantly, easy to apply.

The book explains how emotional resilience and self-awareness can change the way we work, lead, and even love. It explores DISC profiling, inner strengths, and how our mindset shapes our outer world. Each chapter builds on the previous one, and by the time you reach the tenth chapter, it feels like a gentle awakening. The final part, called the 10th Door, connects the individual with the universe in a beautiful way. It makes you pause and reflect on who you truly are beyond your profession, roles, and achievements.

What truly sets this book apart is its message that wealth is not just about money. It is about conscious abundance—where success, peace, relationships, and contribution come together. The writing is simple and heartfelt. It motivates you to grow, not just for yourself, but for the world around you. This book is not just for business leaders or professionals. It is for anyone who wants to live a more meaningful and aligned life. A deeply thoughtful and transformative read.

A deeply insightful read

Atman Intelligence by Hemant Lawanghare is a remarkable exploration of self-awareness, consciousness and the deeper intelligence that guides human life. The author does a wonderful job of blending philosophy, science, and spirituality into clear, relatable language that makes complex ideas easy to grasp.

What stands out most is how practical the book feels, it doesn’t just talk about inner growth but encourages readers to reflect, question and connect with their true selves. It’s both intellectually stimulating and spiritually grounding.

What I loved most about this book is how it encourages self-reflection. Rather than simply presenting theories, it invites the reader to look within; to examine their thoughts, emotions and patterns with compassion and curiosity. The concept of “Atman Intelligence” feels refreshing and empowering, reminding us that true wisdom comes from balance, mindfulness and an awareness of the interconnectedness of all things.

Each chapter builds naturally on the last, moving from intellectual insight to practical application. Whether you’re new to spiritual reading or well-versed in such topics, this book offers clarity and depth in equal measure. I especially appreciated how the author connects ancient wisdom with modern psychology, showing that self-awareness is not just a spiritual journey but also a practical tool for living a peaceful, purposeful life.

This is one of those books that you’ll want to revisit multiple times, discovering new insights with each read. Highly recommended for anyone interested in personal growth, mindfulness or understanding the deeper layers of human intelligence. A truly inspiring read that nourishes both the heart and the mind.

This book tells us that the true transformation requires integration — when our thoughts, actions, presence, and deeper truth move in harmony. Atman Intelligence emerged not from certainty, but from lived contradiction — a response to the gap between what we know and how we live. It is a framework born through experience, not theory, designed to integrate awareness into everyday existence.

At the heart of it all is ‘Atman’ — the silent, unchanging essence of who we truly are. It is not something to become, but something to remember. I liked the concept of Action ideas in book that explores the different side of reading. The book consists of 10 chapters , each with many inspiring examples.

It explores the deeper layers of human intelligence beyond logic, data, and external knowledge. Blending philosophy, self-awareness, and inner growth, the author introduces readers to the idea that true intelligence begins from within—the Atman, or the inner self.

The modern intelligence is often measured through skills, achievements, and artificial systems, while neglecting inner clarity, consciousness, and ethical awareness. Atman Intelligence is the ability to listen to one’s inner voice, align thoughts with values, and make decisions rooted in self-realization rather than impulse or societal pressure.

[SIDDA RAVITEJA · Rating 5 out of 5]

Atman Intelligence by Hemant is a refreshing and soulful read that blends ancient Indian wisdom with the realities of modern life. Hemant invites readers to look inward — to understand the “Atman,” or inner self — as a guide for personal growth and leadership. His tone is warm and conversational, making even deep concepts like mindfulness, purpose, and self-awareness easy to relate to.

What makes the book stand out is its focus on balance — aligning the mind, emotions, and purpose. Hemant doesn’t preach; instead, he gently encourages readers to reflect, slow down, and reconnect with what truly matters. Through real-life examples and simple practices, he shows how clarity and peace can come from within rather than from external success.

At times, the writing can feel a bit idealistic, and readers who prefer a more academic or structured approach might find it light. But that’s also part of its charm — it feels sincere, personal, and heart-centered.

Overall, Atman Intelligence is not just a self-help book; it’s a companion for anyone seeking depth, meaning, and inner alignment in an often chaotic world.

[Madana Krishnan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Atman Intelligence feels like an invitation rather than a lesson.

It does not ask you to chase happiness, mastery, or clarity. Instead, it asks you to stop and notice what is already here. Page after page, the book returns to stillness, to awareness, to the quiet choices we make that shape the direction of our lives far more than any dramatic turning point.

I was especially drawn to the way the book speaks about cracks, uncertainty, and fear not as failures, but as doorways. The idea that we are not broken, only unfinished, felt deeply comforting. So did the reminder that true strength often looks like restraint, and true wisdom looks like knowing when to act and when to allow.

One line that stayed with me the longest was:
“When life no longer feels beautiful, the way we love… still can be.”
It felt like the emotional heart of the book. A quiet reminder that even when life is heavy, meaning does not disappear. It simply changes its form.

This is not a book you rush through. It is one you read slowly, reflectively, and return to. It leaves you quieter than before, but also clearer.

This book was everything I hoped it would be. I'll be honest, when I bought this book I didn't know what to expect from it, because the title, the name was vague and didn't give much away. But I am so glad i decided to read it and did not DNF it.
My personal favorite chapter in this book was the Ninth Door, the path to inner peace, the guidance through Ashtang Yog and the secrets it unveiled left me questioning everything I knew about life and myself.
Now let's move on to the 3 pillars!
1. Language: I loved this book on this pillar. The language is SUPER SIMPLE and easy to understand! I absolutely love how the author does not only explain concepts but also gives examples of many Incredible personalities to properly explain everything!
2. Medium: The medium used by the author to convey the message is Storytelling, where he uses the stories of many Incredible personalities to convey messages. Another medium used is emotion and vulnerability, throughout the book at many instances we see our author expressing his own emotions and vulnerability reminding us that he is also human, and that if he can do it so can we!
3. Clarity: As for Clarity, I do agree it may take you a few reads to fully understand EVERYTHING within the book, but it's totally worth it.
Overall, i really enjoyed the book and Really found it life-changing! I am sure you will too!

[Kajal Sharma · Rating 4 out of 5]

I started reading this book with no expectations, but Atman Intelligence turned out to be one of those rare reads that gently change how you see life. It isn’t loud or preachy—it feels like a calm, meaningful conversation that reminds you to pause and look within.

The author takes you through ten symbolic “doors,” each representing an aspect of life like purpose, compassion, awareness, and resilience. My favorite was The Fifth Door – Emotional Resilience: The Power Within, which beautifully explains that real strength lies in understanding and rising above our emotions, not hiding them. Another chapter that stayed with me was The Ninth Door – The Path to Inner Peace, exploring Ashtang Yog in a simple yet profound way.

The writing is clear, emotional, and very human. Hemant Lawanghare blends personal reflections with real stories, making each lesson relatable and easy to absorb. I loved how the book connects emotional growth and practical living without feeling heavy.

[Ayushi Singh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Atman Intelligence by Hemant Lawanghare is an attempt to blend spirituality, emotional awareness, and leadership. The author explores how true intelligence lies within the Atman (the inner self) and how unlocking it can lead to balance, clarity, and purposeful living. The book moves through ten doors of wisdom, connecting self-awareness to emotional intelligence, relationships, and success.
While I couldn’t personally relate to every idea or example, I truly appreciated the way Lawanghare writes about emotional intelligence. His language is simple yet powerful, and his reflections on self-control, empathy, and belief systems feel genuine and relevant in today’s fast-paced world. The writing style is clear and motivational, making the complex concept of “inner intelligence” easy, even for first-time readers of spiritual or leadership books like me.
However, I do feel the book cover doesn’t quite do justice to the depth of the content. It could have reflected the book’s richness and introspective tone more effectively.
Overall, Atman Intelligence is a good pick for readers interested in exploring emotional and spiritual growth, even if you don’t connect with every part of it.

[Avinash Ahuja · Rating 5 out of 5]

Atman Intelligence is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you already are. If you enjoy books that leave you thinking long after the last page, this one deserves a place on your shelf and in your heart.
