Being Dissatisfied

Rate this book
If you feel that this book will somehow give you a solution to any of your problems, I am extremely sorry but that’s neither the intent nor the content. In fact, I will be very frank and advise you to stay away from such superficial words like "solution". If at all there was any solution to anything in life, what’s the whole struggle all about! Only a handful of people could ever attempt to seek ultimate solutions and they had to give up everything else. When you have nothing, you have no issues or problems or challenges or dissatisfaction. If that sounds like your idea of solution, or anybody’s idea of solution for you, its implementation would result in irrelevance of your existence.

I have seen most people complaining about every single thing in life be it their college mess food , their parents ,their relatives and so on . Being thankless and devoid of any gratitude is the new norm especially in today's generation. 'Being Dissatisfied' is a kind of satire on this very aspect of human nature .

The book entails various scenarios when a person is upset with different sorts of happenings and how we actually create a reason to be sad even when it isn't there at first place . The deep yet complicated variations of a person in terms of mood swings , feelings towards someone ,reactions and responses to situations are very well researched and dealt with a characteristic quintessential flair by the author in his own unique ways.

There are numerous instances throughout the book that can make you trigger and that's where the shrewdness of book lies as it is the very concept it talks about that people get dissatisfied with whatever they can't see beyond a particular line and it has more to do with one's habit rather than actually possessing something not worthy of agreeing with. The funny yet smart way of narration is pretty engaging and it is highly advisable to read the book from cover to cover to actually comprehend the underlying message.

"Dissatisfaction is a natural phenomenon for human beings, which keeps increasing like the tail of Hanuman ji that will end up burning everything that you offer to cover it and still remain intact in the end." - Pratik 'Bharat' Palor (Darpan)

With so much negativity in the world, this book is a cherry on the top. The writer's choice of topic is to be applauded as it is unique and something nobody would want to discuss. Being Dissatisfied is a satire on all the things a human can be dissatisfied with, in his entire life.

The book is divided into chapters which the author calls UPSETS. The UPSETS deal with various aspects of our lives that we are dissatisfied with. Be it a neighbour, colleague, teacher or even your very own child, it shows how we search for reasons to complain and blame another. Parents want well behaved children only, children want lenient parents, friends have to give up everything for you; the list of dissatisfaction is endless in this book.

In retrospect, this book is almost funny because all of it is actually true. As negative as this book sounds and as the author claims it to be, I think otherwise. It can actually show you to be grateful for the things you have!
Do read this book for some great writing and get some (dis)satisfaction from the life you lead!

Satisfaction will never push us towards the path of struggle but that doesn't means that we reached to the point of zenith of our dreams because there isn't any end to perfection. Its dissatisfaction that will give us the jest to fulfill our dreams instead of lying on that couch of yours and being content with anything that life throws at you. This is exactly what I perceived from this book. Being satisfied is actually compromising with our needs

/ It's Important To Be Both Constructive And Significant /

BEING DISSATISFIED ~A SATIRE by PRATIK 'BHARAT' PALOR (DARPAN) is a satirical and humorous approach towards revealing the uncelebrated secrets of dissatisfaction with much intensity, sincerity, logic and well defined reasons which will question your thought process as well

//NEVER MAKE THE JOURNEY BORING//

This book tells us to be the person who is recognised as the epitome of unending questions (asks) the human tendency of being dissatisfied is very much encouraged because the author believes that satisfaction is like suicide for an ambitious personality. Because in this world there is always something better which implies that the term best is a blank term and says that we are content with whatever is at hand is nothing but easiest escape route

//IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE BOTH CONSTRUCTIVE AND SIGNIFICANT//

Our existence is basically determined and acknowledged by the ones we are with, we share a relationship with so the 14 chapters are divided and are given title as Being Dissatisfied with God, With Parents, With in-laws, With Friends, With Government, With Oneself excreta. Being dissatisfied with your surroundings and people you share it with except your Country because your Country is what you made it.

// RULES ARE NOT TO BE BROKEN, BUT SUITABLY SHAPED AND INTERPRETED //

The book intrigued me from the starting where it warned it's readers to read it at their own risk. Through the pages I came accross lines and passages that made in ponder, question my thoughts, see a different perceptions of things, sometimes uncomfortable and even altering my thought process. A book having a very lucid narrative and different perspective making it a unique read. Will recommend it to readers who are up for reading something different and unique.

// ACCEPT YOUR FAILURE, LOUD AND CLEAR. PROPAGATE YOUR SUCCESS EVEN LOUDER//

The book which I will suggest you, folks, today is an exceptionally captivating and extremely fascinating book The substance of this book will make you fall head over heels for this book. 'Being Dissatisfied' by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor(Darpan) is a book having a place with an altogether different classification. This book manages approach to acting continues towards in various social separation. This book lets us know how to act being disappointed. It behaviors to comfort, lethargy, absence of progress, and progress. It educates us regarding the human way of behaving based on disappointment. The book is isolated into little parts called Upset. The book gives an alternate point of view regarding how we view things.

I don't have the foggiest idea of how to audit this book without composing the entire book, so I will take a stab at something else: to be brief. This is a book that must be perused gradually and sincerely, with many stops for looking-off-into-the-distance-somewhere down in-thought.

The book opens by recognizing that everybody has lamented, and by st and t nobody is great. The book manages various parts of feelings like bitterness, dissatisfaction, and outrage.

Being disappointed is tied in with tolerating our passionate state first and afterward working after getting and improving ourselves. Along these lines, we can get down to why we are how we are. This is a decent book to begin dealing with that part of life.

This book will assist you with aiding yourself. It's an aide or an individual guide working everything through you. The language is basic and effectively fathomable too. This will propel you to be better. A self-improvement guide. Still, such issues are minor and the vast majority of the book portrays the truth. The printing nature of the book is perfect as well and the class and sort of book is something I haven't perused till now.

I expected a substitute conclusion, be that as it may, as the genuine one felt ludicrous. Examining the language, it is smoothed out and anyone could get it. The making style kept me associated till the end.

"Animals are so sorted out in their lives that they don't keep pet humans" Damn! This hits real.
BEING DISSATISFIED by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor ( Darpan) is a satrical take on the human tendency of being dissatisfied.
The book piqued my interest right from the outset, when it cautioned readers to read it at their own risk. Through the pages, I came across words and paragraphs that caused me to contemplate, question my thoughts, see a unique perspective on things, and even modify my mind process.
The author has titled the index 'THE SET OF UPSET' and divided this beautiful gem into 14 chapters. Starting from chapter 1 (Rules to never Forget) where the author talked about 10 rules and stated
''Rules are not to be broken, but suitably shaped and interpreted''
In the next 12 chapters he talked about being dissatisfied with the God, parents, friends, children, teachers, spouse basically with all whom we share a relationship with because those with whom we share a relationship define and acknowledge our existence.
At the end he concluded the entire gem with a chapter titled 'NEVER CONCLUDE' and highlighted that, Everybody must very clearly remember that your expectations remain unserved, fully or partly, and therefore you don't sign off any conclusion or completion. And even though the results change or not, our dissatisfaction has to be registered and we must be recognized as the epitome of unending asks.
Here are a few quotes that made me think about things differently and touched home:
1.If they choose to stay unhappy in life, nothing can help it.
2. There is no doubt that everything beautiful on earth is spoiled by mankind only.
3. My immortal soul would have chosen another body.
4. Those jokes will become your grey past.
5. Deserve a piece of cake or samosa or burger or whatever from your hard-earned money.
6. Arch rivals occasionally hug each other and also change sides.
and many more.
In this gem, the author has done an incredible job.
I wholeheartedly endorse it. 💯

Book Name - Being Dissatisfied
By Pratik 'Bharat' Palor

Edition- Paperback

Genre- Self help book

My Rating - 9/10


🔍Good day, guys!This is my second book by Partik. Pratik Palor's unhappiness is a wonderful example of dissatisfaction.

🔍The book's synopsis and title were the only things that drew me to pick it up from the stack.

🔍Despite the fact that this book is in the self-help genre, I believe that every reader should read it for the language and writing.

🔍The book discusses the normalcy of dissatisfaction and believes that satisfaction is a "fiction."

🔍This book is broken into several chapters, each of which is labelled UPSET. Each chapter's title is catchy, such as being unsatisfied with siblings, parents, partners, and even God.

🔍This is a wonderful book. You will get a lot out of it if you read it with full consciousness.This book is appropriate for everyone who lacks drive in their lives.
It must be in sync with positive energies in order to achieve life's success and to eliminate the unworthy things.
And reading this book helped me get perspective, pick up the pieces of myself that were broken, and make the best of my life.

🔍If you're dissatisfied with something, this one will not only lift you up, but will also take you beyond your expectations. If, on the other hand, you are not sad and are merely going about your daily routine, this one will add purpose to your life and transform your ordinary life to remarkable.

🔖🔖Conclusion:-

🎯🎯If you're dissatisfied of your everyday routine, I recommend taking a break from Netflix, YouTube, Hotstar, and other similar services to read this book. It has the potential to change your life for the better.🎯🎯
I highly recommend👍👍 this book...so people don't feel sad😔 if you are dissatisfied with something, Go🏃 and grab it.

Thank you😊

🎫Being Dissatisfied ❌Not❌ A Satire.. by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor
...
🎫Genre :Non fiction /Psychology
🎫Edition : PDF
...
🎫The book is extremely satirical in all the ways to justify one's opinions in all possible ways. The writer had done a marvellous job to take the socializing concepts of every personality in different point of views. The book has total 14 set of concepts and each concept had the utmost depth of author's over view. The book as the title says, has all the knowledge about human mentalities and variabilities,which we normally come across in our daily lives. The book consists in what way every person was being dissatisfied by being surrounded by many imperfections. Nobody is perfect but every person always try to seek the perfections to lead their lives smoothly and that becomes the major setback in the society. This point was strongly pointed by the author in all the mentioned concepts , in his own satirical way. .. He questioned the facts and meanwhile he himself justified them with his own personal catch ups.
...
Like some of the concepts include...
...
❌Being dissatisfied with God
❌Being dissatisfied with Parents
❌Being dissatisfied with one's children
❌Being dissatisfied with one's friends
❌Being dissatisfied with one's teachers
❌Being dissatisfied with one's spouse
...
Like so.......
...
✍️Author's writing style is extremely outstanding as per this book. (As I haven't read other books of him).. It's exceptionally good and was amazed by the way he wrote the sober ideas in a most simplified and in a humourous way.. I literally enjoyed reading this book .

FAB - BOOK REVIEW OF "Being Dissatisfied" by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor.

Genre: Non - Fiction(Transformation)

Rating - 4.5/5

QOTD: Do you prefer buying books in bookstores or online?
AOTD: As a reader, I obviously love to buy them in the bookstores, but the irony is that in the place that I live, we don't have any bookstores, and I need to travel 5 hours which means I need to go to another place for bookstores.

"Being Dissatisfied" by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor. This book intrigued me a lot right from the start. The blurb of the book and the title are the only reasons for me to pick this book up from the lot. The uniqueness in the book is the only thing that made me read this book. The concept of this book is about dissatisfaction and also about the ways to tackle it.
.
Though this book comes in the self-help genre, I wish every reader should read this book for the language and writing. The writing and concept in the book will keep you hooked to the book till the end. I wouldn't that is a theoretical or practical book, but it talks about reality and can change your mindset about satisfaction and being dissatisfied.
.
As we all know that satisfaction is essential for us in everything. It could be about your work or the relationship you are in with or in your studies. Basically, in all the tasks we do, we crave satisfaction as perfectionism doesn't exist. We fall prey to being satisfied, but after reading this book, one will change their mind about satisfaction.
.
This book is definitely a very great read as it explains satisfaction and dissatisfaction beyond our ideology, and I am amazed at that. The language used in the book is lucid, but it's engaging. An excellent book for sure.

"Be recognized as the epitome of unending tasks"

This book is a satirical take on the human tendency of being dissatisfied. At present we consider money, intellect, and influence as the supreme powers. Although they are not but certainly distinct and can be destructive too at times. Humans ought to demonstrate these superpowers as Dissatisfaction. We have made the word "Dissatisfaction" a natural phenomenon for human beings. Rather Dissatisfaction is a powerful force and energy behind any kind of development, research, progress, and invention. Well, it will ultimately lead to another level of dissatisfaction. It feeds on itself, you see!!

Hence anyone sharing advice, tips, or quotes about being satisfied, whether paid or unpaid, is only pretending to be your well-wisher, nothing else. Even they aren't satisfied with the kind of environment around them. Satisfaction if at all occurs to anyone brings complacency, comfort, laziness, death of will to progress or improve. State of satisfaction is a state of comprising.

After such a long period I found such an honest book which is a hard practical reality. The author has written this book with utmost loyalty. He has revealed the uncelebrated secrets of dissatisfaction, with so much sincerity and intensity. There are just a handful of books in which I could connect with the author from the very start and I am feeling so happy to tell you all that this is one amongst them. The language used is simple and easy to understand. There are some cute illustrations inside the book.

Definitely would recommend everyone to give this book a read at least once.

Full review on my blog:
https://blog.medhaapps.com/2021/07/bo...

All of us are dissatisfied, with a multitude of things in our daily life. If you ever wondered someone can advise or share their thoughts on how we can better handle such dissatisfactions, then look no further and pick ‘Being Dissatisfied’.

Instead of going about the routine preachy way, the author starts by mentioning how to be dissatisfied and the ten rules to follow to achieve it. Needless to say, it is the author’s sarcasm that works well to get the reader started on the book. The book further has eleven chapters each dedicated to one aspect of life on how to be dissatisfied — with God, Parents, children, friends, teachers, spouse, colleagues, neighbor, in-laws, government and finally oneself.

Self-help books may not be a ready choice universally, which the author tried to overcome by adding humor and satire to the narrative. Any sort of takeaways and learning from self-help books are hence subjective to the reader, which holds good for this one as well. While the advice may not be applicable to all, it gives a new perspective for things we come across daily.

There are interesting illustrations/toons at the beginning of each chapter and a key takeaway at the end. The cover is impressive and will easily catch eye of kids. Pick this one for a relaxed, lazy afternoon read and for a different sort of self-help book.

Being Dissatisfied


'Being Dissatisfied' by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor(Darpan) is a book belonging to a very different genre.

I would say its kinda self-develeopment book but offers more than it.The book is a mirror to reality.

Let me tell you something about the book-The book intrigued me from the start.Right from the preface of the book,I felt this will become a memorable read for me.The author's approach was clear from the start.It gave me a good vibe.

Satisfaction is something on which I think is important for me always.Like its kinda my Mantra-"Be satisfied with whatever you do".

The book revolves around the main concept of Dissatisfaction.

There are various units in the book revolving around our social circle like-Co-workers,friends,Neighbours and few other people who have an influence on us.

I liked the way in which the author has narrated all the things.The concept was very different and I was able to get what author was trying to say.

While turning few pages,I felt- Is author reading my mind?It was not always but I felt it in some instances that author's mind and mine are same.

The book is a must read for everyone.The book is written in the simplest language because of which anyone can read it easily.The book is a real attempt to make our mindset more tough.

Do read the book and know more about Dissatisfaction and how to tackle it.

A very positive book!

Being Dissatisfied by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor is another book by the author dealing with behavioural approaches in different social strata. This book is again a guide on how to behave being dissatisfied.

Because of their past experiences, people tend to express happiness and discontent with specific things. The fact that pleasure has important relationships with a variety of variables is the main reason for its widespread study.
Satisfaction can be characterised in several ways. "A pleasurable or positive emotional state coming from reciprocal responses," is the most commonly used definition.
People occasionally grow dissatisfied. Even though I have a good time with my host family and friends, there is something that makes me furious, disappointed, and unhappy. People are dissatisfied for three reasons: invasion of privacy, failure, and illness.

This book is the mirror to show you the face of yourself and guide you to escape from the setback of your anxiety and anger issues. It's difficult to make to understand how this book can help you in every sector of your life by literally showing you charts of the experienced author.
This book is highly recommended and I would like to appreciate the author for choosing such a subject to throw light on for the betterment of human values.

This book deals with way of behaving proceed towards in different social stratification , which is written by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor . This book tells us how to behave being dissatisfied. It conducts to comfort, laziness, lack of improvement and progress. It tells us about human behaviour on being state of dissatisfaction . The book is divided into small chapters called Upset. The book presents a different perspective with respect to how we view things.

If you feel that this book will somehow give you a solution to any of your problems, I am exceedingly sorry but that’s neither the purpose nor the content. In fact, I will be very frank and advise you to stay away from such exterior words like "solution". If at all there was any solution to anything in life, what’s the whole struggle all about! Only a nuisance of people could ever attempt to seek ultimate solutions and they had to give up everything else. When you have nothing, you have no issues or problems or challenges or dissatisfaction. If that sounds like your idea of solution, or anybody’s idea of solution for you, its execution would result in inapplicability of your existence .

To khow more about it go through the book. Language is quite to read it. Writing was also awesome . I suggest everyone to read this book. Overall it is a interesting book .

Truly a masterpiece!
I must say, I don't usually go for self help books cause to me they are all the same! Smile more, love more, hate less, don't give up, it's gonna be okay, it's all in your head. Blah blah blah.... but this one was the exception.

I don't know how to review this book without typing out the whole book, so I'm going to try something different: to be brief. This is a book that has to be read slowly and with determination, with many pauses for looking-off-into-the-distance-deep-in-thought.

This book has completely changed my perspective on how I deal with anger, hatred, and other negative mind states and emotions whenever I feel dissatisfied. I have so much admiration for the author and respect for the difficulties he gracefully handles. A book that can change our lives, if we allow its message into our hearts. It speaks in simple terms but it is far from superficial. So I’m very grateful that Pratik Palor took the time to write this amazing book.

l found this book really helpful and motivating. Throgh this book, the author wants to help more and more people by providing guidance of all the common problems we face. This book should be read by everyone, I am sure you will enjoy every chapter. This book will help you to transform and change your life in a better and positive way.

Name of the Book- Being Dissatisfied

Author- Pratik 'Bharat' Palor

Ratings: 4.2/5

Firstly I would like to tell that I haven't read a book like this before and I am glad that I got the opportunity to read it.
This book talks about human behaviour on being state of dissatisfaction. It is not a work of fiction, but hard practical reality. It has fourteen chapters and each of them will tell you how dissatifaction helps anyone to make a significant progress in their life. Every chapter is very interesting and you will learn a lot of new things.

Grab this interesting book as soon as possible from @amazondotin before it goes out of stock as you will not at all be dissatisfied with it after reading it😉

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE BOOK-
❤️Readers will learn the most important lesson of life while reading the first page and that is “Satisfaction is a myth for any human being of an age, gender, country, caste, cread, religion, work, interest, profession or the level of wealth and/or success one has achieved"
❤️Each chapter has an interesting quote (‘Key Takeaway' according to the author) in the end and those quotes are really relatable and true.
❤️I loved the book so much that I have read few chapters more than once.
❤️I loved the fact that the language is simple and easy to understand. Everyone can read it.

This book has my heart, I don't know why but I felt so connected and related to this book. I must say, I don't usually go for self help books because they are all the same with same message and concept and that's why I don't prefer reading self help books but I am glad this turned out to be unique.

I don't know how to review this book without typing out the whole book, so I'm going to try something different: to be brief. This is a book that has to be read slowly and with full concentration. The book is divided into various chapters each dealing with a different kind of upset or trigger . We kind of perceive situations based on our experiences without even taking a moment to visualise things in retrospect. It is very unique story of how to be dissatisfied. How people get dissatisfied, it was like unique experience of mine after reading the book.
Some people might laugh seeing somebody , instead he need to take it as a challenge and move on.
Every chapter is quite interesting and learnt lot more new things too.

l found this book really helpful and motivating. Throgh this book, the author wants to help more and more people by providing guidance of all the common problems we face. This book should be read by everyone, I am sure you will enjoy every chapter. This book will help you to transform and change your life in a better and positive way.

A worth reading positive book.

⚡️According to author, being satisfied is actually a state of compromise and it leads to comfort, laziness, lack of improvement and progress. It's only dissatisfaction with things, people or circumstances that keeps us moving forward to achieve better things.

⚡️We all are dissatisfied with so many things happening in our lives and this book talks about all this and convinces us that it is completely normal to be dissatisfied and that we deserve better no matter what. There are small chapters called "UPSET"s and each UPSET deals with different kinds of dissatisfactions like that with family, friends, spouse, colleagues, government, our own selves and with God.

⚡️To be honest, it was a different kind of book and concept is good but some people may find it offensive, as the writing style is dominating and it feels like author is compelling us to agree to his points. It could have been a little gentle. Even I couldn't relate much with the book. Also, I was expecting that things are explained based on some incidents or short stories but there was nothing like that. If you want to read something different or to explore a different perspective, you can pick it up otherwise do skip it.

The book "Being Dissatisfied" by Pratik 'Bharat' Palor speaks of the general dissatisfaction and feels that satisfaction is a ‘myth’. The abstraction of this book is about dissatisfaction and also about the methods to address it. The cover is impressive and will easily catch the eye of kids.

The author's opinion is that if one gets satisfied then the motivation that keeps us going also decreases and we become lethargic.
There are 13 chapters called "UPSET"s and each UPSET deals with a different kind of dissatisfaction.

The book opens by acknowledging that everyone has regrets, and by asserting that no one is perfect. The book deals with different aspects of emotions like sadness, frustration & anger.

The writing style of the author along with the narration is absolutely amazing and the thing that makes this book unique is the simplicity and the honesty in writing. Nothing is exaggerated and only truth is revealed. This book is a mirror to reality.

After reading this book I also feel like it is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied. This book is a kind of self-development book but offers more than it.

I'd suggest you guys to personally give it a try, it's all worth it!

Book review 💯📖
⭐ My Rating - 4.3/5⭐
The book " Being Dissatisfied" is a self help book written by Author Pratik 'Bharat' Palor

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough"
-Oprah Winfrey

This book talks about how dissatisfied a human is and on how one can find ways in satisfying themselves for the betterment of life. It has almost 13 chapters and each of which is written in the concept named ' UPSET '.

These chapters focuses on the dissatisfaction one has on something which includes Life, Studies, Family, God, People,etc. Author has planted questions in each chapter which brings doubts and self realisation point and it is also highly triggering. This book might seem like out spoken one but in depth it has lot more that one can learn out of it.

Author has put his thoughts very positively with a broad mind and it points out the need to feel satisfied with what we have got to live. The Cover looked completely different from the content and I did not expect such bold content inside. That was the only drawback I felt. Overall it was a nice reading experience.

Being dissatisfied is a different kind of self help/ self interogative read.
It mainly deals with the dissatisfaction that aroused from family, friends, society, spouses, relationships, self and even God.

Yes,, we humans fumes very easily into the circle of dissatisfaction leading to anger, ego, stress and what not.

Being dissatisfied contains 13-14 chapters which deals in different negative thoughts of our life and suggest ways to improve them in order to lead a peaceful life.

The author have sarcastically placed the entire theme and acc to him satisfaction is something that comes in compromisation of dissatisfaction.

Although it's a mind trigger read which could be pretty relatable yet at some point you will feel that the chapters are being rude over it.
Tbh I too found some chapters very connected 😅
My opinion
The book was a good read and a different kind too especially from self help books. concept is good but some people may find it offensive, as the writing style is dominating and it feels like author is compelling us to agree to his points. It could have been a little gentle. Overall it's a good read.

Being Dissatisfied by Pratik 'Bharat' Parlor is a rather unique experience to say the least. I have mixed feelings about this book.

Dissatisfaction is a rather common emotion we human find ourselves when faced with adversity things start to go worse in our life. Author has tried to create a satire about all things, people and places we tend to complaint about. Author has written some pretty funny paragraph about complaining about our social life, parents, colleagues, neighbours and even God. It was both weird and funny reading this book. Some parts you want to agree and some don't and take it for satire but emotions were haywire and all over the place after reading it.

The book is divided into small chapters called Upset. Upset is another human emotions which is pretty natural to us. The language is beginners friendly and if you are looking to venture into self help and motivational book, definitely start with this one as this one is weirdly enough motivating with a pinch of satire to keep it hillarious.

We are always dissatisfied, sometimes with life, family, friends, career, health, superficial things, etc. Sometimes, things are going right even then at that point we are not happy with the circumstances. However, it’s just a mental state and is completely normal. The author goes on to describe the various situations and reasons of our such behavior.

The author has used things and incidents to demonstrate the actuality of those events and how to implement the changes. Being dissatisfied is about accepting our emotional state first and then working upon getting and making ourselves better. So, we can get down of why we are the way we are. This is a good book to start working on that aspect of life.

This book will help you help yourself. It’s a guide or a personal mentor working everything through you. The language is pretty simple and easily comprehensible as well. This will definitely motivate you to be better. Pretty much a self-help book. The author has done a good job with this concept and handled it excellently. I 100% recommend it. MUST BUY.

After a hectic week full of classes , assignment, presentations a little easy going book or I can say a light read can be so refreshing.
The book talks about the normalcy of being dissatisfied and feels that satisfaction is a 'myth'. Pratik 'Bharat' Palor is of the opinion that it is dissatisfaction that keeps us going because if we are satisfied with things, we tend to be comfortable and lazy.
Being dissatisfied is a book which is all about behavioral approaches . It is a guide for us . There are small stories inside the book and that are happening in real life also .
Author has put his thoughts very positively with a broad mind and it points out the need to feel satisfied with what we have got to live.
There can't be any set of target readers for this book... anyone who experiencing the monotony of life and wants to feel human-like can get hold of this book.Overall it was a sweet read and I can address it as Inspirational too since it highlights the essence of self love which makes us strong.

🌸This book talks about different behavioural approaches and mindsets of different people. It highlights the fact that how the terms like 'satisfaction' or 'solution' are shallow in their ways and and is just a myth to think about and most importantly they never really exists because then the whole point of struggle in life gets actually lost .

🌸The author playfully talks about how a state of satisfaction can render us from showcasing our performance potential.

🌸At first, I really want to appreciate the author to talk about such an awesome topic in his book. Along with the theme, the unique approach of narration is the star of the book for me because it points out the positive take of anything very smoothly and effortlessly.

🎀Rating - 5/5⭐

🌸Overall a great pick. But the cover could have been better as I feel that the cover is not that much appropriate for highlighting the intense theme of the book.
This book is a must read for everyone❤️

Dissatisfaction is the most common human feeling nobody is fully satisfied and can never be so in order to live a peaceful and happy life we need to learn from our dissatisfaction . The book is divided into different chapters with the title 'UPSET' we all get upset , sad , frustated , angry because of our dissatisfaction from our work , society , friends , relationship and even God we complain about it and stay unhappy . This is kind of a self help book as there is no solution in the book but author has tried to explain the readers that being dissatisfied is a part of our life and we should take it in a positive manner and overcome it . Anyway satisfaction does not lead you to progress and betterment rather dissatisfaction does it . It was really interesting to read such a book it has a unique content and it also shows the good sense of humour of the author as it is full of humour and sattire making the book more interesting and involving . Overall I enjoyed reading it language used is simple and easy to understand and narration done is very well.
Must read👍

The book which im going to suggest you folks today is exceptionally captivating and extremely fascinating book The substance of this book will make you fall head over heels for this book .
This book talks about how dissatisfied a human is and on how one can find ways in satisfying themselves for the betterment of life. It has almost 13 chapters and each of which is written in the concept named ' UPSET '.
These chapters focuses on the dissatisfaction one has on something which includes Life, Studies, Family, God, People,etc. Author has planted questions in each chapter which brings doubts and self realisation point and it is also highly triggering. This book might seem like out spoken one but in depth it has lot more that one can learn out of it.

Author has put his thoughts very positively with a broad mind and it points out the need to feel satisfied with what we have got to live. The Cover looked completely different from the content and I did not expect such bold content inside. That was the only drawback I felt. Overall it was a nice reading experience.

Being Dissatisfied deals with almost every single thing around us that has to do more with our responses to circumstances than the actual reality. It is a crude satire with a humorous touch on various things that actually make us introspect about ourself.

The book is divided into various chapters each dealing with a different kind of upset or trigger . We kind of perceive situations based on our experiences without even taking a moment to visualise things in retrospect.

The way of narration is impactful though it can actually offend someone . At some junctures, I felt a kind of dominance is visible in the writing which feels more of like we are forced to agree with someone's point of view so may be a more gentle way could have better.

Still such issues are minor and most of the book actually narrates the reality. The printing quality of book is impeccable too and the genre and kind of book is something I haven't read till now.

Being Dissatisfied is a hilarious and unique book which talks only about Dissatisfaction. This book is different from all other books. The book holds different circumstances on which an individual being dissatisfied. People are not satisfied with parents, children, friends, teachers, in-laws, and so on. There are certain parts of the book which is hilarious but they are truths also.

I liked the way he frankly written everything without bothering what readers would feel. But as a reader, I couldn't agree with some. If we are thinking dissatisfied on everything without seeing the positive sides also then nothing can satisfy us. We can find happiness in anything even by being different.

The writing style is good. When I saw the cover of this book for first time, I thought this book is for kids. But after reading this book, I think we have to keep this away from kids till they are mature enough to understand what is written in it. This book can be finished in one go.
