Myths are Real, Reality is a Myth

by Awdhesh Singh

New realities are being created every moment. But how really are they taking form? Certainly, an existing reality can’t lead to a new one by itself. The genesis of new realities lies in—believe it or not—fiction. It is fictions, myths and legends—our imagination—that has shaped and is shaping our world. This highly evocative and analytical book digs deep into the secrets of consciousness of societies, religions and nations to unravel the myths of reality and reality of myths.

It took me more than two months to write this review.
I have been a follower of the writer "Dr Awdhesh Singh", and he writes effortlessly on Quora, regarding various issues. He has a mass following and he is among one of the top most followed people on Quora.

Coming to this book,
I am almost done with the book. An avid reader like me, couldn't finish this in one read. Well, it won't be a justice if you spend 3-4 hours on it once, and then keep it aside. No. The book has many little stories and teaching on every page, that it takes so much time to digest all this. The book provides an overwhelming experience. Under the 'philosophy' genre, it is a must-read book.
At times, reading this book felt like my grandpa 'telling me stories'. So much wisdom... in few pages...
The writing style is engaging and the language used is simple. The book has a gripping aura around it. 
I received a review copy from the author and my review is unbiased, anyway.
The book is worth the money. I'd have paid the double amount for the book.

P.S. Going to gift a copy of this to my sister on her birthday!

The title had surely captured my attention and I can assure the book definitely didn't disappoint me. I immensely enjoyed reading this piece of work. Mr Singh in a lucid, comprehensive and also a graceful tone of language discusses the several aspects of philosophy which are not far away from our common lives. The book gives insight on a number of varied values and beliefs which did answer many of my queries. I admire how so many great thinkers' words, history and tales have been quoted along with some of the world's renowned books and amusing examples. After me, my family members frequently pick this book up and find a nook somewhere. I find it much more detailed, thoughtful and fun than my academic books. A work of wisdom. Something I'd personally recommend.

If you have a rational mind and open to logical thinking, then you will fall in love with it. The author has deeply described every simple thought from different dimensions. And perhaps, some your perceptions will be broken ;) :)

Most of the things he wrote was obvious facts. Or things everyone has always known.
