Motivation and self-help have been one of my favorite genres for a long time. I always prefer non-fiction over fiction because it gives me something to learn, unlike the fictional stories that stay in mind for a short time (Harry Potter series is an exception to this). Whenever I find a book that has a motivating for self-help subject, I instantly pick it up to read.

This book has various tips that teach an individual how to lead a life. You need not take a help from someone to get the things on the right track in your life. Small changes in your outlook or lifestyle can turn your life to the happier side and you will get to know these tips through this book. The book will fill you with optimism and you will be motivated to help yourself in moving in the right direction.

The book is short and you can finish it up in an hour. Therefore, it will be good while you travel or want to take a break from your routine for an hour. The cover is simple yet a decent one. The title is completely apt for the book as it will help the reader to go on the right track without taking help from others. The narration is simple yet gripping to make sure that the readers are constantly interested in knowing more tips about life. However, in the presentation of the book, I felt that new topics could have begun from a fresh page. Beginning something from a fresh page helps the readers in creating a fresh mindset before reading it.

I recommend it to the people of all age groups. You can these simple life tips in various situations and make your lives better.

A motivating novel

From staring you can find something which we fear to do. Taking initiative is what we fear from doing. The habit of self learning, we are dependent on someone to make us learn. Why shouldn't we give a try? Give ourselves a chance to explore ourselves. Self learning helps us to know what our particular interest. You know what you can never love the you are doing as you might or might not be interested on it or doing because someone said i.e. right for you. You will enjoy things only if you start doing the thing you love.
"Thеrе аrе three types оf реорlе in this wоrld: those who mаkе things hарреn, thоsе whо wаtсh things hарреn, аnd thоsе whо wоndеr what hарреnеd."– Mаrу Kау Ash, Amеriсаn businesswoman

Just loved this one from the book.

A truly motivating one. Must read.

To be frank, I was not impressed by the first few pages of this book. But as I turned pages, I was like 'wao' that's a nice book.

We always learn things better when we do it for our own betterment. And the best way to get better is learn things ourself. This book explains you the importance of self learning.

Self learning is possible only if we have self discipline. The Author has covered such areas very well in the latter part of the book.

This could be a perfect gift for people of any age group !! ❤️ At times people need some motivation to recharge their lives and this book will surely do that for them.

I really enjoyed the read !! May be re-reading when time allows . 😊

All the best !! Looking forward for many more motivational books from Gaurang Bhatt 👍

A practical guide or walk through for readers. The theme is based on motivation, self-help or inspirational genre as it mainly explains readers on how to focus on life & its explicits & outcomes based on chances.
Life is governed by many intrinsic & extrinsic factors followed by intricacies of fellow human beings & their involvement in our lives.
Book extrapolates on human interactions, human intelligence, self morale, self confidence, self control, anger management, planning ahead, setting priorities & meditation.
The key to live a happy life is to plan things ahead as life may have anything stored for us, let it be happiness or let alone sadness.
Language is okay. Pace is okay. Narration is fine.
A good self help book to read!

The self-directed
Life is all about two aspects, theoretical and practical.
Theoretical is what do you think and practice is what do you do.
Here the author has maintained the legacy of a book by his motivational thoughts which brings out your inner curiosity to check things around you, to check your surroundings? And what you are then; "A self-learner". The author basically the same want to explain through his ideas and write-ups. This book is an energy booster, for the motivation which brings out the efforts inside you to make your stand in this competitive world.

Intricate and interesting

This is very well written for a topic of this sort. The text keeps you hooked as you stroll through the alleys of learning. This book summarizes the ideals you already know, but everything seems refreshingly relatable because of the way in which it puts the life lessons forward.

The only thing that could have made it a better work is with some humorous anecdotes at intervals. But no qualms, as this is serious in a good way. Highly recommend it to people who are wondering about the direction in which their life is headed.

Brilliant job done !
The book is one hell of a masterpiece. I was astounded by the way this non fiction is narrated. It inspires you in many unimagined ways. Just like the cover, the book forces you to direct all your energy towards one goal and one dream. It helps you in growing yourself as a person. Also, the teachings and lessons are inexplicable. The title suits the book cover, inside out. Also, the language used is simple and lucid that makes the reading conventionally easy .

My Review:
This book is the best learning aid for understanding many topics viz self learning, motivation,self confidence and so on. My favorite topic is “Organize Time” and “Build Network” chapters.The book flow is lucid and u will tend to complete it in 4-5 hours. This book is a must read for those who seek positivism and motivation. The cover picture throws a message “one must spread in every direction in their life to be successful“. Most importantly the description that sets up positive expectation.

I personally rate “The Self Directed – Learning Ways – Gaurang Bhatt” a 3.5/5, I strongly recommend this book to every reader so as to understand and adapt concepts like problem solving , S.M.A.R.T. framework techniques and many more. Looking forward for next work from this author.

REVIEW -

Goals and ambitions vary person to person but only few generates the audacity to cultivate their wills in real life. The Self Directed - Learning Ways deals with the various things required to reach to our goals. Opportunity isn't the only key for the stepping stone, but the right time, motivation and dedication out forms and builds a person. Living a goal oriented life and learning from mistakes and never fails can make everything easy. It was a motivating and inspiring book to know several life terms. It was a great read.

The cover is simple and subjective.
The language is clear!

Must say, the book namely 'The Self Directed- Learning Ways' by Gaurang Bhatt is a practical guide for a fulfilling life which is a continuous process. The book talks about practical and theoretical aspects of life by extrapolating on human interactions, human intelligence, self morale, self confidence, self control, anger management, planning ahead, setting priorities and the most important practice "meditation".
There are quotes you would love :
Bill Gаtеs said, “How a company dеаls with mistakes suggests hоw well it will wring the bеst idеаs and tаlеnts оut of its реорlе.”
“Initiаtivе is dоing thе right thing withоut being tоld.”– Viсtоr Hugо.
Thе mоst intеrеsting thing about a роstаgе stаmр is thе реrsistеnсе with whiсh it stiсks tо its job. – Nароlеоn Hill

The cover of the book is very apt to the title. It shows there is not just one way to live life and accomplished our goal. The direction varies person to person just as the goal. The narration is pretty good. I loved the book very much for it gave me an emotional boast during my hectic exams.
An inspirational book to which one must read.
