Hacklyf Review-
I enjoyed reading this book for two reasons-
1. Real-life incidents are given to make you understand the essence of certain things.
2. An interesting quote towards the end of each chapter which summarises each chapter in a few words.
I read this book in one day. It is that time of the year when one makes resolutions and tries to improve himself/herself. I am glad that I chose to read this book now.
I can very well implement some things from this book in the coming year.The narration is done in simple English. I felt like the author is conversing with me. It has been done well. Some chapters have an activity mentioned towards the end. These activities make you ponder about your dreams, your goals and your plans to achieve them. I believe such exercises are necessary for self-introspection.
I have read many self-help books. But I can say that this particular book has made a special place in my heart. I am looking forward to follow some lessons from this book.
I rate Hacklyf with 4.5/5 stars.

Book Name (with subtitle): Hacklyf (the blueprint of exceptional living)
Author Name: Vijay Poudel
Format: Kindle
No of Pages: 128
Publisher: Invincible Publishers (1/11/2017)
Blurb: The blurb has been written in a compact way with exact necessary information to provide; thus made this book more tempting indeed. It is giving a clear idea about the inner content of the book.
Cover: Front cover of the book is eye catching to look at and I must say that the cover is holding the depth in meaning that is justifying the theme of the book very well and aptly.
Title: Title of the book is unique and there’s no doubt about this. Frankly speaking, I never heard about this term anywhere before. Precisely that is the reason of my picking up this book once (and of course the subtitle was striking in my mind too). The title is catchy indeed and appropriately goes with the substance of the book.
Language & narration: Language of the book is very lucid and simple enough to comprehend. Choices of words are mature and the narrating style of the author is impressive indeed. I am saying this, because though I don’t know the personally, still I was feeling like, was having a direct conversation with the author (narrator) in real; it was that much connectable. Author narrates the short personal experiences and messages sequence wise quite intriguingly with maintaining the flow of the book intact and that’s the reason I was hooked with it till reaching the end. I never got bored anywhere in the book.
Plot: As it is an amalgamation of various types of short experiences with motivational messages (depending on the encounters and knowledge of author’s personal life), so I would like to say that, linking the motivational and inspirational messages with direct real life incidents as example and providing scope for applying this newly gained knowledge by self activity is a highly thoughtful attempt from the author and crafted well while presenting those mini subplots and interconnecting them with each other till the end.
Characterization: Like I mentioned above, it’s a bunch of self experiences and gained knowledge of the author himself, so here he has not portrayed any fictional character or something imaginary. The various people he met in his life during the journey of various places with different perspectives; are the necessary characters he mentioned here in the book. He just described their natural self and the rest has flown in a natural way. They are justified of course and if I have to look for any names, then I can give one or two name as example here, like- Jasbir, Derek Redmond, Mr. Ranjit, Mathew and so other.
Theme: Self help, motivational, inspirational, inner knowledge, life lessons, art of living.
Story in a nutshell & My Verdict: This book is consists of 29 short experiences (each in a single chapter) of the author himself that he faced or got a chance to encounter with or gained the knowledge from similar relevant resources. It’s a genuine effort from the author to help people get their desired (deserved as well) life and actually motivate everyone to live their life in the best way possible. The persons who actually are looking for motivation to continue their journey of life with a positive flow, but lack of resources and energy, they are afraid to move forward, this book is pioneer for them. Author narrated self knowledge and experiences with different people at different places with providing the actual aspect about the reason behind that particular ideology is the most necessary and positive strength of this book. Each short chapter contains something to share that is highly motivational and everlasting to be specific. Here, in this book, everything has been described with proper examples from the beginning and continued till the end stage by stage. Every chapter is being ended with an inspiring quote defining the substance of that chapter which is very catching element for anyone to remember and follow. The most special thing is that, the author never tried to implement any ideology forcefully on the reader; he just shared experiences that any person can related with themselves somehow, in a way or the other, and this will help the person to channelize the positive thoughts and knowledge in own life. Mean while, author provided scope for self inspiring activity to practice depending on the base of the lessons or knowledge from any particular chapter thus the reader can grow a habit of implementing them practically. Those self help activities are (if properly followed) life changing indeed, in a continued gradual process of course. This book will provide knowledge to- know own self, own strength, capacity, channelize positive thoughts in day to day works, follow dreams, protects & nurture own dreams, efforts towards passion, finding happiness in little things, never back off attitude with supreme struggle, chase own passion steadily, having patience, managing own time, respecting people, keeping aside negativity, significance of happiness, firm decision making, unleashing the hidden power, overcoming fear, everything.
My favorite most touching and most impactful three chapters are as follows- The power of one, Heart of a drunken, The baggage. (Especially the words of the driver & the story of the dogs are nailed in my mind forever already. This is (by far) the best self help motivational book that I have gone through so far and (in my opinion) it will transform lives of many if properly followed or practiced. It was really a significant read for me indeed.
Recommendation: I would definitely love to recommend this book to everyone and especially to them who long for an exceptional living but afraid to sail their boat along with the shore of life. This motivational book will surely bring many positive changes with a great everlasting impact in the lives of everyone, indeed. Thank you.
My Favorite Quotation: “Life is a theatre; you give life to a unique character on stage. Nobody else can play your part better than you. So, be you”.
Rating (Overall): 5/5 Stars.

There are few books whose cover is so attractive that you are tempted to look inside the book. Adding the cherry to the cake is the blurb of 'Hacklyf'. The word 'motivation' encouraged me to read this book. Before turning to the main pages, I read "the book is dedicated to"section. That small dedication part by the author brought a big smile on my face.
The book contained twenty-nine chapters within it. The best part was while reading few chapters as a reader I could connect it well. The quotes at the end of each chapter is another great section that I loved. This book teaches us how to live life. This is not the first self-help book I am reading but no doubt, this book taught me many new valuable lessons for life.
Overall, it was a short yet interesting read. The language used by the author is simple to understand. I would recommend this book to everyone because it won't bore you and once you start reading you will get so much engrossed in those pages that you won't know when the book ended.

Nice book, concentrates on only one thing that is "the power of subconscious mind" and nothing more. This is the book that gives you the energy and the development of the thinking necessary to achieve ones goals. It gives you information on how to develop the thinking process and mindset to achieve something.
Hacklyf is an honest attempt to help people who want to live an exceptional life but is clueless amidst all the chaos. It`s an unchallenged fact that "Motivation never lasts", and that is where this book will come in handy. Some chapters have an activity mentioned towards the end. These activities make you ponder about your dreams, your goals and your plans to achieve them. I believe such exercises are necessary for self-introspection.The little questionairres help you priortize and focus on your goals or where one is going wrong.The book contained twenty nine chapters within it. The quotes at the end of each chapter is another great section that I loved.
The narration is done in simple English.The book was so inspirational and i think its the best book for motivation. I just loved the book.This is a very good inspirational book. It will definitely change the way you think. I firmly believe that the methods described in the book can make anybody who follows them extremely successful.
