HOW TO BECOME ONE IN A BILLION

We all want happiness and success and keep chasing both throughout our lives. However, only 4-5 percent of people in the entire world end up becoming successful and from among them less than 1 per cent become successful and happy. What is the secret power that propels these people to the top of the pyramid? What makes them who they are?

Author Megha Bajaj set out on a journey and visited different parts of India and discovered 11 such individuals who were truly happy and successful. She realized that in a country of 1.3 billion people these individuals had one thing in common – they had the rare ability to turn an ordinary event into a significant one and then turn that into a ‘breakthrough’.

They seize the moment when there is nothing perceptible to seize; they look at the present and create a future; they realize that the Supreme Power is always there, only if one believes unfailingly, surrenders completely and works tirelessly. ‘The Breakthrough’ is based on the stories of these 11 trailblazers - Nitin, Asha, Arun, Chitra, Sandeep, Kanni & Uvaraj, Guru, Kavish, Mukesh, Praburam and Sushiil.

Even during the worst possible time the world has ever seen, the book will put you on the path to many wonderful things and a life full of contentment.

Read this book:
If you want find excitement even in the ordinary.
To realize that whether it is success or failure, keep moving.
To develop an eye for details.
To ask yourself: When was the last time you did something for the first time?
To understand why each human being is a co-creator of his or her own destiny.
To find out why even the sky is not enough for imagination.

For times when you are desperate and learn how to drop desperation and let everything just happen.

The Breakthrough by Megha Bajaj explores the life and stories of eleven individuals, who in themselves have a lot to offer in terms of takeaway value. The number eleven in itself is significant as the author’s journey of meeting with these eleven people and narrating their story started on a day with the same date.
The reader might get intimidated by the sheer volume of the book, but this one text holds wisdom and experience from eleven lives. Eleven different lives rather, that of Sandeep Agarwal, Nitin Nyati, Dr. Asha Vijay, Guru Prasad Makam, Kavish Gadia, Arun Kumar Natha, Sushiil Mehta, Chitra Prasad, Mukesh Jain, Prabhuram, Kanni, and Uvuraj Natarajan. Each is different from the other but no less significant. Lives, which come from money and lives which don’t, each traversing a path that takes them somewhere else.
The language used is simple and straightforward and does not take attention away from the journey the reader is on. The book in itself is well designed with color-coded sections for each person and is thus reader-friendly.

a book that will change your perspective towards life. I had an exciting live session with Megha where we discussed about the writing process, what made her write this book, what she learned and a lot more. I was already excited to read this book after the session and I loved reading it.
.
It's a journey of 11 individuals who found their Breakthrough moment. It's a journey of their struggle, their determination, their failures and their Success.
.
Filled with inspiration, it's a book that will make you question yourself, a book that will teach you the art of never giving up with the inspiring stories. I liked the way it's designed. It took me a lot of time to read this one, as there are so many things to learn.
.
Each story is unique. I loved Chitra Prasad's story the most.
With a crisp and engaging writing style, the author expressed it all beautifully. I fell in love with the way it is curated. The beautiful pages, pictures and ofcourse the stories.
It has some lessons for life.
A wonderful book.

Most of the non fiction book I come across has been fairly short reads, not this book it has almost 500 pages but it didn't feel that long.That's the beauty of this book, it has your undivided attention.

This is a masterpiece and I whole heartedly recommended this book to everyone.

The Breakthrough by Megha Bajaj is a collection of stories of 11 trailblazers who’ve defined their success with the breakthroughs. This book essentially brings out those quintessential moments from their lives that have the ability to inspire us in a distinctive way. The stories come from different walks of life, and each one has a different taste to it.

We all come across the breakthrough moments in life. They are essential in shaping our lives. They’re important in making us who we go on to become later in life. This book comprises stories of eleven people who grabbed the key moments in their life and made them better. They were born ordinary, but they went on to become extraordinary. Their stories constitute their dark days, silent struggles, eureka moments, indomitable spirit, and a sweet success that comes after sheer hard work.

The Breakthrough stands apart from most inspirational books in the way that it has a variety of stories. While all of them inspire, each inspires in a different manner. Also, each individual mentioned in the book has gone through a spiritual awakening, and their guru happens to be Mahatria. Their encounters with their guru and the eventual transformation in them are a delight to read.

I loved how the author has compiled these unique stories in a single volume. Her writing reflects her poetic mind and spiritual heart. Now because the language is pretty easy and smooth, one would be easily able to read the text. However, if you’d want to enjoy it better, I suggest reading one story at a time. Let it sink in. Absorb the significance of breakthrough moments and recognize the ones in your life.

If you’re looking for an inspirational read that captivates you with its narrative and narration, go ahead with The Breakthrough. You’ll love it :)

When inquired on whether we want to achieve all of our dreams and thrive towards being successful, there would not be a single person who would say no or answer in a negative way.

But then, when we think about it, the main question arises or remains that if there are all of these people who want to be triumphant, then why are there only a very few, selected ones, who are victorious and prosperous.

‘The Breakthrough’ by Megha Bajaj narrates us the experiences of Eleven People who practiced innovation, developed their willpower, were ambitious enough and had the ability to maximize their time by imagining their best future, coupled with their sharpness to grab the correct opportunity at the right time which resulted in them emerging as superiors than the rest of their peers.

The journey that all of them embarked upon was not all that simple and straightforward. There were failures and some not so favorable situations, however these individuals adapted to the circumstances, rather than being affected by it and in a way, ended up making their own luck.

The book shows us that the road towards being successful and being in a state to achieve your dreams is never an easy task, but we should always remember that anything which comes effortlessly, is in fact not worth having. Hence, even if our paths are dotted with insurmountable obstacles to overcome, the belief which we keep in ourselves and the faith to overcome anything will always result in leaving a positive impact on us.

By compiling together the experiences of all these different individuals and binding them in this book, the author has done a marvelous job of creating a masterpiece which will no doubt be helpful and inspiring to each and every single one of its readers. Hence, I am going to give this book FIVE BREAKTHROUGH STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Book name : The Breakthrough
{ 11 Trailblazers. One Movement }

Author name : Megha Bajaj

I have literally no words to define how mind-blowing this book, and the content inside it !

This book consists of eleven stories of eleven different people, people who have done out of the blue actions, that have lead them to achieve not only the success but the happiness that we all need in our lives to live fully, enjoying every bit of it.

It's not just an inspirational story book, no I wouldn't say that. I depicts in it, various victory stories, the way we should act, it gives us ideas on how we should pick up every possibility that we get from life to make it big and achieve the target that we have set.
Everything is written quite well.
And the vocabulary is easy, making it easy for everyone to understand everything that the author wants to convey to us.
The pace is good, neither to fast not too slow.
I read one or two stories at a time, this got me into understanding each of them in better way.

It's lovely to read the transformation that happened in the lives of all these eleven people, the way they have brought all the goodness in their life, everything that they have dreamt of.
It truly inspires the reader to act on every opportunity that we get.

Sometimes we feel stuck in a loop, and our life is not going how we want it to, and then we need a personal breakthrough. A breakthrough sometimes changes your life entirely and makes it going forward; we need to identify it.

The breakthrough by Megha Bajaj is a collection of 11 stories of ordinary people to identify their breakthroughs, achieve their goals, and became inspiring personalities. These stories will change your perspective towards life.
I have always been fascinated by how much I can learn from my surroundings and this world. In this book, I had the opportunity to learn from so many people from different backgrounds with unique stories.

Three Things I learned from this book:
1. You can find happiness and bring spark in your life by the most minor or silliest kinds of stuff.
2. Sometimes you have to fail hard to figure things out.
3. It depends on you what you do with your past learnings?

I loved the writing style of Megha; every story is engaging. I would suggest reading this book at a slow pace to absorb the learning.
I will recommend this book to all readers looking forward to reading a nonfictional book with real-life motivational stories.

The intricate philosophical realm unearthed, explored and explained, not just with words as reference but with living examples and their struggle moulding this explanation.
The foreword of the book mentions "Even her prose has a poetic touch", the statement not only describes perfectly what is to follow, but in a nutshell culminates the veracity of the words.

Eleven lives, eleven problems, and eleven victories. Author Megha Bajaj brings forward the extra in the ordinary, making us a believer. The author knows her words, and their impact on the readers, from the very beginning of the book the reader shall find himself into the story, only only reading it, but living it.

The interminable adventures, struggles, scepticism, and solidarity in actions and thoughts are narrated with unmatched zeal. The book shall immaculate your mind, a step at a time, until it walks you through all eleven stages.

"The Breakthrough" by Megha Bajaj is a collection of inspiring stories about 11 individuals and their journey that moulded them to what they are. These eleven individuals come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, each one having their own story to tell.

Everyone has their own breakthrough moments in life which helps them shape their future. What we need to do is grasp them and make the most out of it.

Though a nonfiction, the book didn't fail to mesmerize me. The 11 inspirational stories of ordinary men who became extraordinary through their struggles and determination left me speechless.

The book is nearly of 500 pages but I wasn't bored at any point rather I was hooked by each of the stories. The cover of the book is really attractive and the pages are colourful which will make you grab the book at first sight. Written in a simple, smooth language the author had narrated each of the stories so beautifully that you'll be hooked.

We all experience moments in life that make us better. These moments are critical because they shape who we become later in life. This book features the stories of 11 individuals who made the most of their breakthrough moments.

The Breakthrough is different from other inspirational books in that it delivers a variety of inspirational stories that all motivate in their own way. Each of the individuals featured in the book has undergone a transformative spiritual awakening. This book is a must-have for anyone who enjoys poetry and spiritual journeys. I highly recommend reading it one at a time and focusing on one specific topic. This way, you will feel like you absorbed all the details in the book.

The book will definitely serve as a motivational guide to several individuals wo are having their own ups and downs in life.

This book beholds eleven stories of ordinary people with extraordinary grit, courage and strength of spirit and belief in fate. In this book the author brings us the story of 11 people around the globe who are truly happy and successful. The virtues everyone chase to have in their life but few achieves this book potrays stories of these people who had the rare ability and courage to turn ordinary into something significant and special.

This book was a hard read for me each story made me tear up a little more the courage strength showcased was enthralling. Along with that it inspired me and break me, motivated me gave me courage also made me think the how many times I gave up on something and back out of a plan because I doubted it's success even before trying.

This book showcases moments where people seize the moment when there is nothing perceptible to seize; they look at the present and create a future; they realize that the Supreme Power is always there, only if one believes unfailingly, surrenders completely and works tirelessly
The book is an amazing spiritual upliftment that showcases a positive credo towards life , to find excitement in the ordinary. To understand the importance of keep moving regardless of success or failure and above all being content with life. The book is actually a thick one so I recommend to take your own sweet time to read it and application of all the understanding in your life.

The Breakthrough protrays us that the we have a rare ability to turn an ordinary event into a significant one and then turn that into a ‘breakthrough’. The language is easy with lucid narrative. I would recommend it to people who is interested in reading a spiritual uplifting book that showcases Positivity and hope to discover the answer to all our troubles lies within us, to get read of desperation and to keep moving without pondering to much about success or failure amd trying hard and take our problems as a opportunity of learning something new because results of hardwork may be delayed but won't be denied.

This book is an assortment of accounts of 11 pioneers who've characterized their prosperity with breakthroughs. This book basically draws out those ultimate minutes from their lives that can motivate us in a particular manner. The accounts come from different backgrounds, and everyone has an alternate taste to it.

It is a self-improvement guide that shows you the significance of synchronization of wellbeing, abundance, love, and otherworldliness. The best thing about the book is its language. The continuity with which she has portrayed every story is awe-inspiring. The straightforwardness with which she has determined and clarified the takeaways is astonishing.

The featured lines, the general arrangement into more modest sections, the love for no. 11, the confidence in her Guru Mahatria, every one of these things added to the magnificence of this book. We as a whole run over breakthrough moments throughout everyday life. They are fundamental in molding our lives & in making us who we proceed to turn out to be further down the road.

This book involves accounts of eleven individuals who snatched the critical minutes in their day to day existence and improved them. They were brought into the world customary, however, they proceeded to get unprecedented. Their accounts establish their dim days, quiet battles, aha minutes, unyielding soul, and a sweet achievement that comes after sheer difficult work.

All referenced persons in the book have experienced a profound arousing, and their master turns out to be Mahatria. Their experiences with their master and the inevitable change in them are a joy to pursue. I cherished how the creator has assembled these exceptional stories in a solitary volume.

Megha Bajaj is an unbelievable narrator who leaves her pursuers awed by her words. The narratives of the 11 pioneers make you giggle, cry, think, feel, and can't help thinking about how you can improve your life. I recommend pursuing each story one by one. Let it blend. Retain the importance of breakthrough minutes and perceive the ones in your day to day existence.

I am not really fond of motivational books or biographies but sometimes I like to know about people, how was their lives and what's going on around us, so just in curiosity I picked up this book and it makes me spellbound with its' awesome writing style. Author wrote such a gorgeous book, she really knows how to play with words.

What is a breakthrough? A Sudden change which brings out important development in life, one courageous move, a step forward to cross the line of fear and figure it out this is the call! Ya, this is the breakthrough, and some ordinary people when make it happen, when they discovered their call they become phenomenal.

The Breakthrough book is a collection of phenomenal actions taken in a hard time, stepping out from fear of leaving the comfort zone and trying the ''luck''. Its woven tapestries of various people's memoirs, a glimpse of their childhood, school life, their valorous moves,
inspirational lives from various parts of the society, and financial background. Their valiant effort and author's courageous shot to make it a really different kind of read is commendable.

It has 11 compelling and inspiring stories from across the nation.

This book is for when we need a courage booster, a reminder we must nurture our inner strength and think out of the box, stretch ourselves a little more. I was stunned by the immaculate intricacies of her words. This is her writing power that never let me think that this is a book of some biographies. Very cheerful, joyous drawing on maxims with a sprinkle of poetic. It's the plus point of this book, fun-filled scribble keeps you turning pages and leads you to the end very easily. It's enlisted 10 people's life stories, every story starts with a poetic name and meaning full cover pictures for each person's life, and every life story is carved in different color full page. Such a beautiful book.
It's a totally different book from any other biographies that I have read before. I absolutely liked it and recommend it to all readers.

📚 Book Review


Title : The Breakthrough
Author : Megha Bajaj
Language : English
Edition : Paperback
Pages : 488



💫 We always dream of being happy and successful in life. But only a few take the initiative to work hard in order to achieve their goals.They have the secret which lands them up to the top. They dedicate themselves completely in the process.


💫 The Breakthrough is a book which contains inspiring stories of such hardworking persons who keep a mindset of doing something great in life. They are such persons who will never fail due to their interest in their work and a thinking unlike the rest. This book contains inspiring stories of 11 persons whose success stories are worth reading. Nitin, a character of one of the story has the passion to do everything including mountain trekking, exploring Northern lights. But some people by seeing the difficulties arising in their path turn around and accept failure. Everyone knows that when trekking Mount Everest, one can suffer severe frostbite due to the intense cold and snowy nature. But inspite of all this, he is adamant on his commitment. He does everything from trekking of Mount Everest to searching of Northern Lights and deep sea diving. He does it all and every time it becomes more adventurous. This book gives us inner strength to boost up and change our mindsets as well. The stories of such persons leave a message to us that we should never give in life and always think for the good.


💫 This book is quite motivating. It is a collection of eleven real lifestories from the life of common people who used the ordinary situations to create it into something extraordinary. The book is like a light in darkness. It works as a guide in a lost world. I felt a lot better after reading it. I hope it will help everyone who comes in contact with it in some way or the other .

To start with this book: Cover? Perfect. Length (Page count/ thickness)? Perfect. Print? Absolutely perfect! It was so much fun, just holding the book, flipping through its pages - even just for fun. There were even pictures, you guys!

But, when it comes to the actual content, it has plethora of information about the people mentioned in the book. Such bravehearts, such endurances. The flow of story is very smooth - to the point that it falls short of being an exciting read.

Such amazing success (and, failures alike) stories, you'd expect to get really inspired. And, as claimed in the beginning of the book, find your breakthrough. No doubt, I got inspired, but not enough to reflect them on myself. There was something about the way the stories were told that it didn't quite click with me.

I could not feel the emotions aptly, even though all the scenarios were right there; could not (or, barely) feel their pain, their happiness. It felt more like statement of facts, than stories. And, even though I was introduced to most of these people for the first time through this book, I was still hoping to be able to relate to them - at least, by one common thing which is the most human of all, our flaws. That's what was the missing piece, imo.

Having said all that, the lessons where amazing - and, those were quite relatable too! Most of the important points were already highlighted for the readers, so I didn't have to bother with a pen or note taking. I knew which part to put my focus on - and to look back to, later in life. An easy, yet long read, with heavy content.

Overall, if you're into non-fictions (especially, self-help, motivational, memoirs/biographies), pick it up. Take one story at a time. Take a break. And, read another story another day. And that's how you'd be doing the book the justice it deserves.

#INSIGHT: 'The Breakthrough' is an account of the lives of 11 people who believe in the power of dreams and have faith that with continuous hardwork, they will achieve those dreams. It is a self help book which teaches you the importance of synchronisation of health, wealth, love and spirituality.

#REVIEW: The best thing about the book is its language. The author has this special connect with the readers from the preface itself which continues till the last page. The flow with which she has narrated each story is splendid. The ease with which she has derived and explained the takeaways is amazing. The highlighted lines, the overall categorisation into smaller chapters, the love for no. 11, the faith in her Guru Mahatria, all these things added to the beauty of this book. Overall, I would say that everyone should read this book. It will definitely change your life.

#BEST QUOTE: The turnaround of your life is in your hands but for that to happen, you need to respect yourself and your abilities.

#STRENGTH: The book is an experience in itself and an amazing one at that. Every page of the book will teach you something or the other and you will see a transformation within you at the end. The language of the book is easy and at the same time engaging. All the 11 personalities have been explored well and put to paper in an even better way. The cover page and the title have been selected thoughtfully.

#WEAKNESS: The book was way too long and I felt it was stretched at certain levels. At some points it felt as if the book got inclined to Mahatria a little more than required.

#TARGET READERS: Anyone and everyone

#AGE GROUP: Above 13 years

#GENRE: Non fiction Self Help

#RATING: 4.6/5

‘The Breakthrough’ by Megha Bajaj is a collection of eleven inspiring success stories and their path of defining it through life changing experiences that distinctively impacted the author and gave her a better understanding of life. Each story leaves with a different learning lesson and charms us into being extraordinary in their ordinary ways.

We all experience success, failures, moments of inspiration in our lives and these are essentially the phases that eventually lead our paths to the final destination, to our definition of success.  This book comprises stories of people from different backgrounds, their conditions different but still they inspire us because each of these people never left their dreams and work incomplete. It made us readers believe that ‘’hard work with dedication will result in success.” This book when read feels like an autobiography because it described every small detail of their life- the upbringing, the family status, their behavior and mannerism, the initial hard work, the support and their breakthrough success. This book mentions the individual’s spiritual  transformation  with the encounter of their guru Mahatria.

This book, ‘The Breakthrough’ is unique not only because it compiles personal stories in such a volume but because of the author’s style of narration. Bajaj’s style of writing is truly magic- smooth and philosophic. I wanted to read the book in a peaceful setting so I took one story at a time and that helped me to sink in the process of breakthrough.

If you're a non-fiction reader and want to delve deep into inspirational stories to pave your path of success, it’s the book for you.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom: Gen. George Patton"

Let's travel together in a time machine to a place called Bachhgaon, a small village in Uttar Pradesh, India. What about the year? It's 2001. My uncle visited his hometown and he took me to the nearby barbershop. After the haircut, he offered me 'samosa'. While having my tasty snack, I asked him "Do you think if my aunt was alive, I will be in Delhi for better education?" Though the question was asked by a 7 years old guy innocently, it melted my uncle's heart and he took me to Delhi. It was that BREAKTHROUGH moment of my life.

Coming back to the book, it's a collection of 11 real and heart-moving stories to create a spark of motivation in your dark world. What's common among them? All protagonists of this book started from zero, but now there are millions of zeroes taking a nap behind a number called "one". Everyone works hard but very few can control the straps of horses named "Success", and "Happiness".

When I was a child around 12- 13 years I used to go to meetings with my grandfather meanwhile In a meeting the host asked a question to a girl that what is her aim in life? She said that I want to happy.
I didn't understand the meaning of happiness at that time. I wanted to be a successful person who earns lots of money and always have a respected place in the society. But Now when I have good sustainable job and the money and the respect in the society, I understood the real meaning of Happiness the girl asking for.
When we became a grownup we run behind mirage of happiness but the real happiness lies with in us only and this book is going to be the mirror of your happiness.

The book consists of the story of 11 trailblazers who have shared their success story(struggle story) to have life of happiness. The value of filtering times, consistency , direction, self motivation, intelligent efforts, spirituality. The importance of dedication in life, the inspiration which is required in every step of life.

This book really has made a special place in my heart. I can't imagine the struggle behind the page are to be real. The effort made to write this book is commendable. I am glad that I got a chance to read this book and being inspired from the heart-wrenching experiences.

Coming to the beautiful cover and the edges of the book. . the colour co ordination of the book makes it more attractive and aesthetic. The inside of the book is eye catching. A must read for every one who wants to be motivated in their low time.

The Breakthrough: 11 Trailblazers. One Movement : By Megha Bajaj

My Rating : 4.8/5

❤️ Megha Bajaj's The Breakthrough is a nice parade of recent out-of-the-ordinary and competent individuals who have been secure enough in their own judgement not to fall victim to peer pressure. Such movers and shakers stood their ground in their sectors and made progress.

❤️ Book set out on a trip and visited various parts of India and found 11 such people who were genuinely happy and successful. She noticed that these individuals had one thing in common in a nation of 1.3 billion people-they had the rare ability to turn an average occurrence into a significant one and then turn that into a 'breakthrough.'

❤️ The Breakthrough stands out in the sense that it has a number of stories from other inspiring books. While they all inspire, each one inspires in a different way. Also, every person listed in the book has gone through a spiritual awakening and Mahatria happens to be their guru. It is a joy to read their experiences with their guru and the resulting improvement in them.

❤️ This book contains accounts of eleven individuals who grabbed and enhanced the vital minutes in their everyday life. They were brought into the traditional world, but they went on to become unprecedented. Their accounts establish their dim days, quiet fights, aha minutes, an unyielding spirit, and a sweet accomplishment that comes after sheer hard work.

🌸 The Breakthrough
🌸 Megha Bajaj

“There is no magic to achievement, it’s about hard work, choices and persistence “
“The Breakthrough “ is a real breakthrough in the self help genre of books . The beautiful cover and the colourful illustration is the first thing that attracted me towards the book .
When I started reading the book I was like 450+ pages , it’s going to take too much of time to finish the book.
But honestly speaking when I started with first chapter about Nitin Nyati I was totally into it and to my surprise I finished it in a single go.
The author Megha Bajaj has done an incredible job . It is not only about the success or achievement of 11 people it is a breakthrough into your thought process. It not only leaves you motivated instead it inspires you to follow your dreams .
Some might say what is new in this , many books motivate and inspire.
Yeah true , but this is not only about facts and figures it’s about live examples and the best part is that the live examples are like you and me. They are not superheroes. But yes after achieving their dreams the definitely fall into the category of superheroes.
The crisp narration and accurate description of the characters make you a part of their achievement . Their failure or their success seems to be your failure and your success.
And I personally feel that when you can connect to the characters of the book, a masterpiece is created .

📍 This book has 11 chapters or it's said as 11 trailblazers on the cover of the book.

📍 The book talks about 11 special people who belong to different-different parts of India.

📍 The author Megha Bajaj visited many different parts of the country and discovered these 11 individuals who are truly happy and successful.

📍 We all want success and happiness in our lives and we try to do things in a way so that we can get these two in our lives. However, only 4-5 percent of people in the entire world end up becoming successful and from among these less than 1 percent become successful and happy.

📍 What's the secret that propels these 11 people to the top of the pyramid? What is that that makes them who they are? How do they look at present and how do they set their lives for the future?

📍 So, to know the answers to such questions meet Nitin, Asha, Arun, Chitra, Sandeep, Kanni, Uvaraj, Guru, Kavish, Mukesh, Praburam and Sushil on their beautiful journey.

📍 I loved how the chapters were divided by the colours and were divided into small parts, which helped in reading fast.

📍 I loved all the motivational quotes in the book, it's so interesting to read when you find these great lines in the book. The language of the book isn't hard to read. The stories go with the flow.

📍Read the book to find out more about the secrets of the 11 individuals whom the author has talked about.

We've all read our fair shares of non-fiction books. We have all come across multiple books with a biographical theme to illustrate a certain moral value. But this one's different...

"The Breakthrough: 11 Trailblazers. One Movement." is another book that fits the description that I just gave, but it's unique. The author has compiled the life stories of 11 individuals from across India, and has presented it through a filter which enables the reader to pick up the importance of the life-changing decisions and actions that those people made.

These 11 people are arguably very successful in their respective fields, while also being happy in their own right. Such a combination, of great success and happiness, is seldom seen... so how do these people do it? That is exactly the answer that the reader will find in the book. It is divided into 11 sections, for the 11 people depicted, and each section is broken into the various number of adventures, phases, songs etc. that each individual experienced, to bring them where they are today. The author has used very simple language throughout the book, so it is a good read for readers of all ages.

I loved the book. The physical book is quite thick, so due to my anxiety I was putting it off for a bit, but I am so thankful that I was finally able to pick it up and finish it. It was a really good read to finish before the start of a new year, so that I can implement the things I learned into my life in 2022, and hope for a fruitful year.

◾️This book is a collection of inspiring and compelling real life stories of 11 people who had a major breakthrough in their lives, how they moved from from being ordinary to extraordinary, making the best use of opportunities by taking that call in life, taking that one important step to cross the line of fear that stops us from achieving the extraordinary.

◾️Almost everyone dreams of becoming successful and happy in life but only 4-5 percent of them end up becoming successful and from among them, less than 1 percent become successful and happy. We must understand that only being successful is not enough, a fulfilling life must be a perfect balance of health, wealth, love, contentment and happiness.

◾️The book although lengthy, is not monotonous. The color coded chapters will give you a fresh and happy vibe while reading. The writing style of the author is beginner-friendly yet professional. The cover itself feels very refreshing. Each and every story is equally motivating and has something for you to takeaway from!

◾️Always remember, keep working for that dream or goal you have in mind, give in your 100% everyday, don't be scared of temporary defeats because at the end, hardwork will always pay you off. Results may be delayed, but never denied! You're strong, keep moving!

Review of book 'The breakthrough' by author 'Megha Bajaj'

My Rating - 4/5 ⭐
Genre - Non-fiction
Page Length- 488 pages
Author - Megha Bajaj

The breakthrough is a story about 11 ordinary people who have achieved success by extraordinary means, the book tells about the breakthrough in the life despite the unfavourable conditions.

The stories are about people who are chartered accountants, builders,  social entrepreneurs etc.

Every story is motivating and inspirational.

Each story covers their hard work, their downfalls, there sheer  determination to just move forward with all the positive mindset.
One thing what every story has in common is spiritual awakening by their Guru - Mahatria.
Their encounters with him and their progress and transformation is depicted very well.

I just love the writing style of the book, it's a book that you can cherish by reading it slow.

Talking about the title, it suits the book well and the cover is just fabulous.
The book basically has 11 colours used throughout for each story.
This definitely makes it easy to track your progress throughout the book.

I would suggest you to read one story at a time and to learn from it before going to the next one.

Final Say - A lengthy read that needs to be taken slow. A book that is an excellent motivator.
