The Happy Leader: A Leadership Fable about Transformation in Business and in Life by Shawn Johal is a fictional story that demonstrates his teachings. Ethan is a man whose stressful job has taken over his family. He prides himself in his work, but his work is undermined by others and there is nothing he can do about it. Then Ravi came into his life and Elevation Leadership Institute. This place changed everything for Ethan, just when he needed it.
I found The Happy Leader inspiring. Though it is written as a fiction I was fascinated with Ethan's growth and the changes he made in his life. Shawn Johal keeps the reader's undivided attention as he teaches amazing concepts. This is the kind of book you will want to come back to and read several times.

Harnessing Powerful Leadership Qualities:- One step at a time
Everyone has a Lion in them, it takes the right jungle to bring it out. That is the best way to summarize this book in one sentence. The several chapters take the several components of the concept of leadership and break them down into sizable bits.
The author uses first introduces his readers to the truth of leadership. First, that it’s important, and secondly, that it isn’t limited to a selected few. Over the next set of chapters, leadership is then split into bits that the barest layman can understand. What I enjoyed about this book was the way leadership was presented in such a simple manner, so easy to understand. And yet, the contents of the book retained their relevance in its raw and intended form.
Granted, there are several books out there claiming to be the next best thing after sliced bread on the topic of leadership, but this book here by Dr. Srikanth Gaddam is worth reading. Each page is genuinely packed with invaluable knowledge.

The Happy Leader: A Leadership Fable about Transformation in Business and in Life by Shawn Johal is a mindful and thoughtful story about the transformative power of forgiveness. Beyond being a parable, this tale expresses the dilemma facing many today, the downward spiral of just getting through life, instead of actually embracing it. Ethan and Ravi's friendship is at the core of this book, exposing nuances and realizations that you might not expect. This is an amalgamation of novel and self-help books, the execution of which is mesmerizing. A powerful book with relatable and real characters, this one resonates on a meaningful level and leaves you at peace once you finish reading. Read this book if you want to be re-awakened in a deeper way, and start a new journey in your life. Highly recommend it for a wonderful read.

A masterful summary in fiction of a blueprint for success and happiness.
A masterful summary of techniques harvested from a library of books in the form of a novel, this book explores the strategies to become successful and improve your life and your health. The plot is absorbing, with many interesting twists and provides reading entertainment as well as opening portals for success that many readers may not have explored previously. The story is memorable with many touching scenes, but all of the principles embedded in the plot are concisely summarized in chapters at the end of the book. Inspiring and gratifying to read, this illuminating book may be safely kept to be read over and over again, as an inspiration and a guide for readers who wish to improve their own lives as well as those of all individuals connected to them in both a family and a professional capacity.

Instead of another self-help book that promises you a quick scheme to further yourself in your profession, this book gives you a set of characters who all are woven into an intriguing story that showcases challenges and problems that they need to overcome. These can be quickly carried over into your own life and you can take these lessons and solutions for your own good.
I liked the “fable” aspect of this book, it made the topic intriguing and engaging, and you really feel more like you are reading a story instead of learning anything. It was surprising how much information stuck with me once I was done. Great job!

Disclaimer: I know and respect the author a lot.
This is one of those books that you need to read at the right time, and if you do it has the power to flick a switch in your mind. I know that this is true as it flicked many for me.
The good news is, for most people this is the right time.
