Title: A Leap Within
Author: Ameya Agarwal
Genre: Self-Help
Publisher: Kalpaz Publications
Pages: 176
Price: ₹ 250

My take on this book: Self-Help books are often thought to be boring, i hv never completed any self-help book except this one! This book keeps holds you till the last word of the book. Language is simple even new readers will find this book easy to read.
Author has added some very beautiful quotes which makes this book A Must Read. Collection of small stories, one liners, quotes by various people, connects the book with readers. One can learn so much from this book.

Some quotes from the book:
1.It's success which makes you beautiful.
2. Mind your language count your words, mean what you say because otherwise people no longer stay.

Rating: 5/5

You can grab this book on Amazon and Flipkart.

I finished reading this book yesterday. It is actually good and relatable. There were typos at some places but its okay. Appreciate the honest efforts by the author for his debut work. He seems to have undertaken a serious thinking while writing down the various points.

Giving 4 stars for the editing. Value for money and a reasonable buy.

After a long time I read a book that is really inspiring. The book talks about different aspects and gives us an appropriate description.

The best part of this book is – the usage of quotes.

All the things described in a very well manner with proper use of examples and perfectly used stories that the readers easily connect with themselves.

The book tails about life in a very witty and smart manner- ” But I wonder is there any life in this life…!?”

The book not only gives the readers information about various aspects of life but also made them rethink about life!

At the end of the book the Handy Tips are really useful and very useful for the readers.

The cover is really attractive. The language is simple and lucid.

The author Ameya Agrawal have done a great job!

A Leap Within
-Ameya Agrawal

A great book like this from such a young author have enthralled me first. It is not any fictional but a book of motivation. Talking about life, some inevitable truths are put forth, which we all have to live with. One best thing about this book is, you can pick any topic, anywhere and you can read it anytime. The stories in-between will keep the readers engaged and the way, the author penning his own life incidents to justify things is a brilliant move. Also, it brims with quotes of legends.

My favourite part in the book is ‘Exploring Yourself’. After completing the chapter, I have taken time to explore myself which is something new. Next comes ‘Love – A Weird Concept’ which will be everyone’s favourite. The author says about the commitments, relationship, do’s and don’ts and the mistakes we do.

Following two chapters: ‘Society and you’ – where you shall know about the society, how and where you belong in the society; ‘Developing the inside you’ – where you shall learn something to make yourself a little more better than you are; both these chapters are a must read.

The last few pages are like a checkmate, scoring the credits. Here you shall discover more about yourself, the way to lead your life and about the life. The book ends with tiny handy tips. Which are to remember ever, after the read.

‘A Leap Within’ is like a tonic to energize you; boost yourself. It is a casual read, simple yet motivational, with each word itching your mind. This book must decorate any bookshelf and I am glad that I have one.

I was surprised when I read the book. This was or the fact that the author is just 21 but when he started writing this book, he was just 19. I could see a great amount of maturity in Ameya Agrawal who has meticulously presented the facts with some brilliant short stories, examples and anecdotes.

Many of you would have red the short stories and examples cited in this book in some place or the other but what I liked the most about the book is the usage of such stories. It was used at the right place making it blend with the information, that author wanted to put forth.

The book can be classified under self help coupled with management as it talks in great detail about the management aspect as well. It gently touches upon worldly behaviour and with few poems here and there, it would be a breeze for the literature lovers too.

Though this should not be compared with the books written by wizards and veterans, this book will stand out among them for sure.

P.S I liked "I have learned" and "Handy Tips" in particular which came at the tad end but making it an interesting read to finish this book with a smile.

Firstly, a hearty congratulations to Ameya Agarwal for putting out his ideas & content, and actually proceeding to publishing it (the main step)!

For a student just starting out on reading, a pretty unique book i would say! The author maintains an interactive "session" with the reader through a unique form of prose. Some remarkable short stories and quotes inserted in the chapters, which made me bookmark the pages to read again later!

Special attention to the last 2-3 pages, the "Handy Tips-From Life's little instruction book"! Would definitely keep u intrigued and smiling. And would be of great benefit to the reader to actually implement the points.

Overall, the book succeeds in stretching the ends of my lips all the way up-to my eyes.
This guy is definitely a motivation to others of his age (like me), to not only think of just publishing my own book, but to innovate and think of original ideas and think FRESH.

Thank you for an excellent book Ameya ! :)

I bought this book few days ago and I realized that Great things are always simple! People especially then youth can learn a lot from the book. Simple language, easy to connect short stories, wonderful collection of quotes, its beautiful! The author kept me tuned till the last. Self help books are thought to be boring but trust me this one is not! You really need to have this one in your collection. The recommendations from the ' Corporate Chanakya' himself says a lot about the book.
If amazon drops the price a little, I believe many more people can take benefits from the book!
Kudos!

This is really a great book! My friend suggest this to me and I never knew I will be liking it so much. It really connects with you well with all those wonderful quotes, real life experiences and beautiful short stories that help you realize and explore yourself without stretching and putting too much burden on you.

As a youth, this is really something you need. Author uses simple languages and realtive incidences to truly help you understand the situations and things better. Thus you can actually help yourself to work out on it.

Really motivating. Thank you writing it and thank you my friend for suggesting it to me.

Just Go for it. It is really worth it!

Self Help and Motivation are my second favorite genre after love stories. And this book has questioned to edit my preference order and make sure self help goes first. That amazing this book was, the blend of emotions and the very practical facts that can prove to be game changers if implemented. I did take some time to read it because this book is to be chewed. The expression of the thoughts was impressive and provocative at the same time. Kudos to Ameya Agarwal. The chapter titled Society and You completely stole my heart and it had a deep connect with my soul.
