Our choices have a big impact on our overall success and where we end up in life. Infact it is the most decisive factor in our progress. Though there are multiple ways to convey this message so that it makes an indelible imprint on our psyche , but author opted for the most impactful and interesting method which is through storytelling

Suprita is the central character of this compelling work. When she was a kid ,she developed a deep connect with nature and always use to be in lookout for intriguing patterns. Owing to her incredible innate observing skills she was able to appreciate the vagaries of life and profuse wisdom amidst the deep chaos. But with time and her involvement with the materialistic world she has somehow lost herself . Moving up the ladder in the professional world she never seems tempted to mend ways , but after experiencing the rare failure which puts her career at jeopardy , she realizes where her roots ,her true calling lies : In The Lap Of Nature.

The tale is astoundingly carved. The theme is simple yet effective. It casts a serene spell, a calming influence on the readers. When the pedestrian loses his way in the journey of life , only the nature can restore the balance by recalibrating him and making necessary amends. The imbibed spirituality of the story does well in altering perceptions . Also the in-depth conversations between the characters gives quite useful insights and help in decoding the essence of life.

Overall a morale lifting book . Read it to rekindle your dying spirits.

Life is a constant journey in which the mind and heart frequently clash based on the prejudices we have been formed into. The goal is to connect both of them in order to unfold them and continue taking active actions in the direction they indicate.

Decode Your Quest is more than just a work of fiction in which the author explains the importance of self-realization with the help of a girl named Suprita, A successful ethical hacker and mastermind stuck in the chaos of choices between dream and profession.

In this book, every paragraph has its own set of meanings that the reader must uncover on his inspirational journey.
It teaches readers how to live in the present moment and decode their own inner magic.

Read it for sure!!

Book 55 Review - Decode Your Quest By Dhara Purohit John - Immersive Realization Experience

Some of you might know, something happened to me around 6 months ago, which was a new experience on its own, made me grapple with my choices made thus far in life and actually made me realize where I was going wrong. A short update on it though, parts of it are still being processed, and for few parts I have made active intentions to move forward, and I am definitely in a better place. Picked this book out of curiosity as it reminded me of my journey thus far.

Surprisingly, every part explained in this book is similar to what I have experienced in my introspections in my ongoing journey thus far, and it felt good confirming this.

Decode your quest is not your quintessential book where life realization is explained with just some fiction mixed, every paragraph has its own set of meanings to be deciphered for the reader, on his elucidated journey. And I loved the writing, especially with the way, the story is entwined to bring further clarity, just enough for us to get the nudge or perspective. And it feels different based on the different experiences we have gone through in life.

My takeway from this book would be, life is an ongoing journey, where mind and heart are consistently head to head based on the biases we have been molded into. The key is connecting both of them to unfurl them and keep taking active steps in the direction they show us.

A must recommend for anyone curious about life realization and an introduction to spirituality for newbies.

An inspiring and powerful read!!! Highly recommend!!! 😍

🌳It is the story of Supriya’s world, since childhood, she was interested in exploring how nature works. It naturally drew her to nature’s mysticism with a desire to decode the wisdom it withheld and bring it to everyday living. But she abundant this path ages ago. In this journey of life we forget ourselves in the materialistic things that we forget about our other life, the life where we have lived for years, the life with our loved ones, the memories and love we take for granted, how the chaos encircles Suprita’s personal as well as professional all at the same time, she witnessed the biggest and the only failure in her life, which puts her career at jeopardy, leading her on the journey of decoding her quest.
🌳Trees have a language of their own. Nature communicates in unique, limitless ways for those who are willing to explore. This wisdom can be decoded through the gateway of mindfulness and deep silence.
🌳Isn’t it strange that we often hold back from sharing our heart with the people closest to us? Astonishing, how darkness influences your choices when light is what you desire. In the pace of greed to grow, we have forgotten to pause and reflect. It is time to go back to basics and learn from nature. Learn from elements- the trees, sky, wind and sea. In the greed to surmount the throne of power, we have forgotten nature’s principles and to grow in unison with one another.
🌳The book is so inspiring, it changed my perceptions, It helped me realise to live in the present, to not take things for granted. To not fight the darkness but to become light. To surrender to the cosmic forces that exists beyond my imagination. To become limitless. Author’s writing is simple yet powerful. Her words are magic. Highly recommend it.
“May you decode your quest and follow your calling to experience that the infinite and the infinity is you.”

Decode your Quest - The title is enough to give an idea about the genre of Self Help. Such genres are not everyone's cup of tea.
And even if they are, people can perceive it in completely different ways - Some might love it, some might not be able to connect with it at all.

As for me, being a believer, it was easier to connect with the concept of the book.

Delving into the book, firstly, there were a lot of quirks that I liked especially the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. All of them had a deeper meaning and a unique one for each of its readers.

Such books might bore some, but once you get the hang of it, it's impossible to let go. For the first few chapters, i had to go real slow with the reading to be able to grasp every bit of it. To absorb every single line, although the portions of story narration about the protagonist, Supriya Mukherjee, were quick to pass through. I felt like the language of the book could have been a little simplified.

Being a heavy concept for a book like this, the language plays an important role and the first few chapters have the potential to capture the readers attention or lose it. Even though I patiently held onto it, some people might find it challenging. Hence language might be a bit tricky for a few.

Secondly, the switch between imparting knowledge about the importance of connecting with nature and being grounded with a fictional story created the perfect balance to curate the concept for this book which would otherwise be a straight forward boring self help read.

I took notes of some excerpts from the book as well. And I'm sure everyone who read this title will find some part or the other Relatable. Which also makes it a special read.

The character development of Albino was my favourite from the book. Being a successful person, he still was deeply rooted to qualities like humbleness, being grounded, compassion and always secretly showed the right path to everybody in his vicinity. Who wouldn't want to be knownto such a radiant personality!

He was also super intriguing with his ideas like reverse mentoring. Another one of his traits i absolutely adored was being a bigger picture observer and contributing to the betterment of humanity always.

Another of my favorite portions from the book was the super intellectual conversation between Devika and Narayan when they're in the forest. The author very subtly gave away a life lesson in that very moment with captured me completely.

Also concepts like living in coherence with nature to find your calling, spreading awareness about the era of 6th extinction are praiseworthy.

The chapter on Character Assessment Clause was something every corporate should inculcate for their employees. It was so good to read about it and experience a hands on application of it through Suprita's life story.

I am evidently taking a whole lot of awareness about spirituality, connecting with your inner self and lot more from this book. Nothing but gratitude for the author.

Contemporary fiction is a type of realistic fiction that describes stories set in modern times that don’t feature any elements of fantasy. It can also be referred to as realistic fiction, but the term "contemporary" is used specifically to distinguish it from realistic fiction with a historical setting, which is also quite common and fairly popular. Contemporary fiction focuses on giving people a window into some corner of everyday experience and showing them what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes.

Decode your Quest by Dhara Purohit John is a contemporary fiction story of Suprita the youngest director of the security team and director of digital forensics, who is presently employed by the Wilbert Group of Companies and is currently a member of the Wilber Team Core Team. While no one knew that her dream was buried deep inside her heart, after her mother's death, she blamed her father for never allowing her or her mother to fulfil their dreams. When Sudipta is at the pinnacle of success, her heart aches for her dream and that ache forces her to avoid her father. He has something important to say. It is interesting to learn how she manages her personal and professional conflicts, keeping her peace of mind. Her choices led her to chaos but will she be able to decode her quest and make everything normal again?

The readers will enjoy the section of the story where the two characters, Devika and Narayan, talked while they were in the forest. The author did a great job of subtly giving away a life lesson without interrupting their conversation. The reader gets completely caught up in their conversation. The book is written in a friendly tone, with sentences that are easy to understand. All the characters are relatable and interesting to read about. The Author has written wise spiritual lessons in this book, which are conveyed through simple one-liners.

Though a work of fiction, this book has the power to change readers' perspectives on life. It teaches readers how to live in the moment and decode their own magic within. Overall, this is a motivational and inspiring book that will make you take a closer look at the world around us. Highly recommend it to everyone.

“Memories infused with supreme intent often surface up to the conscious mind when you need to hear them. Their emergence may be hurtful, but they carry immense power to heal - only if you allow.”

Developing connection with our souls can make us realize many things whether it’s rediscovering the congenital abilities that we sometimes forget we possess or knowing ourselves a little more. It’s the same as decoding a quest to search for ourselves, knowing who we truly are and our purpose in life.

“Decode Your Quest” by Dhara Purohit John is the fictional story of protagonist Suprita that enlightens us on the path of spirituality, and wisdom of nature. Opposite to what she was as a child, a prodigy, a nature lover, complex pattern solver of forests, Suprita, now, is the finest ethical hacker and mastermind in digital forensics.

She has been promoted to a new role that ideally should give her the satisfaction she asks for. But still, there is a wave of melancholia and turmoil in her personal life. Also, she faces the biggest setback that brings chaos to her life. She goes into jeopardy both in her professional and personal life. And the only option that remains is to confront the truth in the most non-conformist way where she must reignite her innate abilities and recall her wisdom of nature. Is this a quest worth decoding for her? What’s the connection between this quest and nature? Grab the book to know more!

The book is highly spiritual and there are many philosophical quotes and paragraphs throughout the book which leaves you marking or highlighting every other line. I am trying to read more spiritual or philosophical books in 2022 whether they are through fiction or nonfiction. If you are someone who is into spirituality, this is a great choice.

The spiritual path is not easy to follow. There are hurdles but one needs to stay grounded and patient enough to walk that path successfully. The author brilliantly narrates Suprita’s transformational journey that teaches us many great things while reading.

Grab this wonderful book that will help you decode your quest on the paths often less traveled!

Don't think about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled dreams.
We all go through various battles at various points in our lives. Some of us do find out the purpose and connection of those battles, while others still keep on figuring it out and remain stuck in the rattrap of situations and circumstances.
Sometimes these unwanted and unwelcome circumstances shower us with success, and other times they throw us into a life of struggle and juggling. But I suppose success that comes from an easy situation never bears fruit. Rather, success earned through hard work, struggle, heartbreak, and a lot of patience proves to be everlasting and fruitful. but with the exception that, while fighting for such success and goals, there shouldn't be any regret left behind. and the same goes for Suprita.
So, this book is all about the unfulfilled dreams and desires of Suprita, a youthful director at Wilber Company. She's also a member of the digital forensic team.
Everyone loved and adored her, but none knew that she had buried her dreams after her mother's death. Also, somewhere in her heart, she blamed her father for not letting her mother and herself follow their dreams and passions.
Suprita's mother was immensely connected to nature; we can see the cover also has a glimpse of a tree-like drawing. Suprita, like her mother, had a connection with nature.
Despite being at the top of the success stairs, Supritha still had some regrets about her dreams and felt an emptiness toward her goal.
but as always stated, you can continue your happy life till the end. There will surely be a phase where you will taste failure.
The same phase had arrived in Suprita's life, where she faced the biggest failure of her life due to another bad decision. She was deeply pressed for her mistake, and subsequently, it affected both her professional and personal lives as well. She also started to avoid calls from her father, his message, and his appearance, but her father had called her for something important.

"Get well and stay well" we want to follow that tagline, but living in modern society brings anxiety and stress into our life. We are becoming materialistic rich, setting our standards high without considering our emotional and mental well-being.
Decode your quest by Dhara Purohit John is a compelling novel that plunges the readers into the heart of nature and its different patterns.
The book features the spiritual journey of a strong protagonist Suprita. Suprita is constantly amazed by the patterns of nature and interested in exploring the functionality of nature.
She is leading a successful career until she faces the biggest failure of her life. That failure brings chaos to her life and makes her rethink her priorities, and then starts her transformation journey to identify her true purpose in life.
I totally love this strong-themed yet simple book. The storyline is compelling and will appeal to fans of nature and spirituality book lovers.
With the strong narrative voice, Dhara will pull the readers in right from the beginning. The theme is one of the strongest components of the book that portrays the beauty of nature and how one can decode our wisdom within it.
I love how the author sends a simple and powerful message; we all should learn from nature to grow together.
I love Suprita's transformation journey; it's organic. Finding peace in a chaotic life isn't easy, but nature can help lead you towards it. Being with nature may sound cliché, but it can be an authentic experience for some people to learn about their true self, like the book's protagonist.
Though this is a fictional read, it will change the readers' perspectives on life. You will learn how to live in the moment and decode your magic within.
Overall, this is a motivational and inspiring book that will make you take a closer look at the world around us. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Decode Your Quest By Dhara Purohit John is an attempt to give life lessons to the reader via a fictional story. While going through the blurb and cover i assumed the story will deal with spirituality and nature respectively. It's true to a major extent but I felt a good enough amount of ‘philosophy' too. Philosophy of life to be precise.

The book tells us the story of Suprita who's just been promoted to a prestigious position in a company. Her life appears sorted for any spectator. But she is facing turmoil with her inner self. Her appa is trying to contact her but she's not giving any response (Will she regret not responding to him?). Situations turns bad to worse when her professional life also becomes messy. He's called for an interrogation by the company for clarification and Via this 'calling' she becomes able to 'decode her quest'.
What was that interrogation all about?
What was the need of such a thing in first place?
What's the role of nature amidst all this chaos and how does it fit in the scenario?
Read the book and find out.

DYQ is divided into 22 short chapters. Each one begins with a quote that deals with the 'theme' of that particular chapter. Language is easy to understand. However the flow of the book could have been better. There was more spirituality than 'fiction' in the book. Suprita feels something and the narration goes into the philosophy of that feeling. It was okay one or two times but the same became repetitive in nature and i was like ' Oh man! here we go again'. Except Devika (Suprita's Mother) none of the character(s) were able to remain afresh after turning the last page.She appeared for very few pages but leave a legacy behind.Even Supriya around whom the entire plot was centred failed to cast any kind of impact on me.

Recommended? NO.

Decode your quest by Dhara purohit john is something diffrent concept that will put your mind into some deep thinking and that's why its amazon #1 best seller.

This book revolves around the girl name Suprita who is currently in the wilbert group of companies and at present , part of the wilber team core team , the youngest director of the security team and digital forensics, only if people knew that her dream was something eles which is burried deep inside her heart after her mother's death, and somehow she little in her mind blame her father who never allowed her or her mother to fulfill thier dream , a dream to live in nature.

Her mother was deeply connected to nature and was an environmental architect , she was so deeply in love with nature and its all diffrent world , sudipta too has a diffrent quality to talk with nature , understanding it - that's what her mother thought and that was her dream but all shattred into pieces

At present when sudipta is standing at top of the world of success , her heart aches for her dream, and that ache is forcing her to avoid her father , his calls, his voice but her father has something important to say .

What does Sudipta's father want to say ? Will sudipta ever be able to live her dream ? , what if this new position at wilbert brings new problems to her ?

To find out read the book.

I quite enjoyed reading this book , as you move forward in story you will understand that this book has some spiritual prespective also and also it will take you a world of nature , a diffrent , that will amaze you like you will feel yourself stepping into the forest and living it full.

Sudipta and her father's bond was shown perfectly by the author, the language is simple , to the point and has deep sense of uniqueness carrying with it.

I definitely recommend understanding your own quest.

This book is all about connecting with nature from within or outside of oneself. A heart-to-heart conversation with nature and its forms. It may be the blowing winds that tenderly kiss your cheeks, the rain that wipes away our sorrows, or the trees as you sit down for a break, and so forth. The book is so amazing that it transformed my perspective. It taught me to live in the now and not take things for granted. To become light rather than battle the darkness. Surrender to cosmic powers that are beyond my comprehension. To achieve limitlessness. The author's writing is straightforward but effective. Her words have a magical power.

This is the story of the world of Supriya, who has been interested in exploring how nature works since childhood. This naturally led her to the mysticism of nature, a desire to decipher the wisdom hidden therein and bring it into everyday life. But she walked that road a long time ago. On this journey of life, we forget ourselves in material things, of other lives, of lives we have lived for years, of life with loved ones, of memories and love that we take for granted, of the chaos that surrounds us. About the way Supriya is... both personally and professionally, she witnessed the biggest and only setback of her life. It jeopardized her career and forced her to decipher her quest.

The plot of this modern novel has a spiritual side and is written in a simple style. The characters are well developed and the book offers many life lessons within the pages. The book also contains many quotations. The book consists of 22 chapters and can be read in 12 seats. This is a good read once. This book is a must-read for any reader interested in the contemporary science-fiction genre that deals with spiritual, environmental, and ethical themes.

Suprita is everything an empowered and sensible woman symbolises in today's time.
A renowned ethical hacker and a environment and eco sustainability enthusiast, she has achieved her big success in the corporate world by abandoning or leaving behind this sensitive side of her.
Despite achieving the success she does, there's something amiss and a big wave waiting to hit her, which will turn her both personal and professional worlds upside down.
I would say this was Suprita's Quest of Decoding herself from what she aspired to be in childhood to what her choices led her to be and the manner in which she'll be handling the solemn truth , in addition to this more and more self help books are promoting spirituality, now I'm a person which does follow spiritualism so I had no qualms, but if you don't, then you should refrain.
I liked the part where the author has led her back to rekindling her love for nature.
The author has made an illustration of self-help through Suprita's life which is an absolute roller coaster, her bond with her late mother and her distance with her father is investigated in the books.
Every self help book is I feel nothing more than an investigation of self.
I have time and again used the method of asking questions to myself to clear the mental tangle I face when times are tough.

And turns out that's all you need.
Coming back to the book ,it has multiple characters and good character development, my only complaint would be the pace of the book is slow (you're comparing this to a thriller lover, so you can avoid this point)

Also it's just 140 ish pages, so you can finish it in three sittings of half an hour even if you're a beginner!

Happy Reading ✨

P.S: Just had a road block for a while, back to writing 😬

There are many of us who often associate happiness with having possessions, and with having the ability to obtain more possessions whenever we have the desire to do so.

There are many instances when we come across or see people walking around with the latest designer and branded materialistic things, and it is just in our inherent nature to assume that because they are in possession of such things, they must be having or they must be leading happy lives.

‘Decode Your Quest’ by author Dhara Purohit is the book that will make us ponder if just materialistic things is really all there is to happiness. Also, it shows us the true mirror of what our priorities should be and how true fulfillment does not have anything to do with accumulating just mere possessions.

Right from her childhood, our main protagonist of the story, Supriya, had the ability and inquisitiveness regarding how the nature works and what all pertains to it.

However, as it happens in most of the cases, as time passed, she started focusing on different things, or rather her mind was now involved with our pursuits, making her forget her true calling.

Often times in our lives, we see just how fickle our life can be. One minute, everything is going as per our wish, the way we want, and it takes just a few moments to change the entire path. And this is exactly what happens with Supriya as well.

But the one good thing that comes out of this is that Supriya finally realizes the importance of what is actually valuable and important and becomes prone to striking the balance as and where it is required.

This was a perfect testament to impart valuable teachings via the medium of this book, hence I am going to give this book FIVE DECODE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Decode Your Quest penned by Dhara Purohit John.

Page- 177

Language - English

Genre- Self- Help

My fav quote is- " When you choose to break free and open yourself to experiences without filters, your open the doors to infinite possibilities. You become limitless."

The story revolves around Suprita, the new sensation of the ethical hacking industry who is currently feeling apathetic. Even after achieving so much success, there was a strange confusion going on in her heart. Sometimes this transpires for all of us, we achieve accomplishment but some dreams remain suppressed in our hearts. In which dreams or desires we do not pay attention to and that makes our mind disturbed. The book contains a letter written by Suprita's Appa to his daughter Suprita, in which he realizes that he has made a lot of mistakes in his life that have prevented Suprita and her Amma from fulfilling their dreams. He created a wall of restrictions has been erected around them. Now they want to break it, want to correct their mistakes. This letter touches my heart a lot and somewhere shows a painful glimpse of the society through which many people are still passing through. Taking someone's dream burden on your shoulders and keeping your dreams captive in your heart erases the feeling of true happiness from our life. Some people perceive their true desire and move ahead in life by smashing the shackles of impediments.

The author has written this book particularly beautifully. There is a connotation hidden in each chapter of this book, which is very significant for us to discern because all those things can bring a lot of rehabilitation in our life and can help us to recognize our real dreams.

This book is about a girl named Suprita who works for the Wilbert group of companies and is currently the youngest director of the security team and digital forensics. If people knew that her dream was something else, they might understand why it has been buried in her heart since the death of her mother. She also blames her father for not allowing her and her mother to live in nature.

Her mother was an environmental architect who had a strong connection to and appreciation for the natural world. Sudipta's mother believed that she had a special ability to communicate with nature and understand it; nevertheless, her dream was crushed.

Sudipta's heart aches for her dream even though she is currently at the top of the world of success. Because of this pain, she avoids her father's calls and voicemails even though he has something crucial to say.

As the story progresses, you will realise that this novel also has a spiritual perspective, and I quite enjoyed reading it. Additionally, it will transport you to an other realm of nature, one that will astound you and make you feel as though you are entering a forest and fully experiencing it.

The author did a fantastic job of capturing the relationship between Sudipta and her father. The language is straightforward, to the point, and carries a strong sense of individuality. You will ponder deeply about this new idea because it is different.

What does the father of Sudipta want to say?
Will Sudipta ever be able to live her dream?
What if she encounters additional issues as a result of her new job at Wilbert?

Suprita is a very successful person in her career as an ethical hacker but feels she still lacks something in life. And through her the author brings out the lesson of how to find peace in a chaotic life by taking examples from nature. Man will be more content and peaceful by being in harmony with nature. This aspect forms the core of this book. The book also brings out the fact that even though name and fame , riches can bring happiness, they cannot give the ultimate contentment in life. Anchoring in the wisdoms of nature is the best way to find the purpose of life even though chaos will usually pervade a spiritual journey!
In the early part of the book, through Suprita’s voice, the author tells us how nature is and how each is dependent on the other and the way it affects each other’s growth and functionality with the example of the Sal trees. Like this, through nature, several life lessons are focused and explained.
The language is simple and straight forward. Instead of going for the theme in a self-help book style, the author has written it in a novel form so that it is more interesting. And easy to relate to.The only thing that I felt could be better is that the book could have been a little fast paced. Felt like it dragged a bit in some places.
There are quotes at the beginning of each chapter and also sprinkled within the chapters as well. The cover is simple yet apt for this title.
You can pick up this book if you are looking for a self-help book that makes the reading enjoyable as it is non preachy. Also if you are a person who enjoys being in sync with nature, this is will be a satisfying read.

This book is all about connecting nature from or within oneself. Heart to heart talk with nature and its forms. It may be through that blowing winds that softly kisses your cheeks or through the rain that washes away our pain or through the trees when you seat under them for some rest and so on.

Here, The protagonist Suprita after losing her mother who was not only a mother to her but was also the path through which she used to travel through her soul to nature. She has achieved the highest milestone with her willpower and is one of the biggest inspirers. She opted for a different path or a unique career for herself. She is India’s top ethical computer hacker and captivating a job in one of the most prestigious companies in the USA.
It's her journey.

She witnesses the biggest and the only failure in her life as the Director of digital forensics and security systems, putting her career in absolute jeopardy. Suprita is forced to confront the truth about her choices in the most unconventional manner. Held up in a foreign country with nowhere to go, the only way out is by tapping into her innate abilities and anchoring into the wisdom of nature.

This book describes the spiritual encounter of you with nature. Suprita has or it's better to say born with the ability to Decode all the hurdles or complexities of forests.

Narration is super flowy and easy to read which makes the book uninterruptedly gripping. It's a good one time read and can be completed in just 1-2 seatings. Do pick it up.

Some of us are close to nature and we establish a strong connection with it. We observe and somehow figure out the unsaid patterns and try to comprehend their meanings. This book carries this vibe throughout and connects me to the occurrences of nature.

As the title of the book and the cover implies, this book is about a girl, Suprita who is trying to decode her unanswered, undiscovered purpose of life and somehow she finds assistance in nature. Suprita has a shining career in corporate industries, she even is awarded for some of her great achievements which is a significant part of the story. Somehow Suprita doesn't want to answer her father's calls and the plot sets when she commits the biggest mistake of her life and her life never remains the same. Suprita goes on a journey of self-discovery and the rest is for you to unravel.

I felt intimated with Suprita when she used to take time for herself. She isolates herself and tries to resolve things out and the presentation of this activity of her is written extremely well in the book. At some point in life, we understand the presence of spirituality and start relating to it as it proceeds to quench our wonders about life. The same has happened for Suprita and I found myself deeply involved while reading her journey. Dhara has unfolded and constituted the story very well but the book was very slow progressing. That over-stretching of plots bugged me sometimes, otherwise, it's a worthwhile book to relish for so many readers out there.

Book : Decode Your Quest
Author : Dhara Purohit John

It is the story of Supriya’s world, Suprita is a very successful person in her career as an ethical hacker but feels she still lacks something in life. And through her the author brings out the lesson of how to find peace in a chaotic life by taking examples from nature. since childhood, she was interested in exploring how nature works. It naturally drew her to nature’s mysticism with a desire to decode the wisdom it withheld and bring it to everyday living. But she abundant this path ages ago. Trees have a language of their own. Nature communicates in unique, limitless ways for those who are willing to explore. This wisdom can be decoded through the gateway of mindfulness and deep silence.

In this journey of life we forget ourselves in the materialistic things that we forget about our other life, the life where we have lived for years, the life with our loved ones, the memories and love we take for granted, how the chaos encircles Suprita’s personal as well as professional all at the same time, she witnessed the biggest and the only failure in her life, which puts her career at jeopardy, leading her on the journey of decoding her quest.

This book will take you on a spiritual journey. And there are so many insights about life, to learn from this book.The writing style of this book is in narrative form. You can read it on our lazy days, where you feel like doing nothing.The only criticism I have is I found it a bit of slow paced read.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

This is my favourite quote from the book as it tells the true story of life nowdays. In today's world we are just existing that's all, we are not living our life fully. And the people who are living their lives to the fullest are very few in this whole wide world. The life's hustle bustle just doesn't allow us to cherish the little moments and enjoy our life.

Decode your quest is a fiction book but it helps us in discovering our life's quest. This book tells us that how nature and spirituality plays a very important role in our life. Suprita, who is very successful at her job and have a great career is still not happy with her life. So how she finds happiness and true meaning of life is shown in the book.

The nature can help our soul heal in many ways which we are not aware of completely. I personally love going out in the nature and experience that cool breeze on my face, that amazing view and that adventure which just make me calm and let me forget all my worries. So i personally loved this book as i connected with it. The author has written the book in a very lucid and simple manner. The book is divided into 22 chapters. I loved her writing style. Also the quotes at the start of every chapter are really good. So, give it a read and decode your quest of life.

Decode refers to find the meaning of a secret message (code).
Whereas Quest refers to a long search for something that is difficult to find.
On one hand, decodes seems to be a scientific term and on the other hand, quest is mostly related to emotions, spirituality and things that involve extreme interface or suspense.
Merging them would definitely be a challenging task.

Decode Your Quest is a gripping novel that has the influencing characters and their transformation that would take the readers on a journey less travelled but worth taking a ride.
The protagonist is a Ethical Hacker.
Ethical hacking involves an authorized attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data. Carrying out an ethical hack involves duplicating strategies and actions of malicious attackers.

Events that take place in the life and the way they direct to a different destination would itself come as a full twist.
This isn't a nail biting mystery but would surely keep the reading lamps on throughout night.
The plots like this needs maturity hence I found this book exactly apt according to my taste.

The Author has not only provided the inclination towards Science and Spirituality but has also concentrated on Psychology and nature.
If we look deep, the factors seem inter related.
While reading this book I totally agreed to the quote mentioned 'Life remains a mystery unless you live it intensely and in it's entirety'.
Overall a must read.

Firstly, huge respect and great appreciation to the author Dhara Purohit John making such a series of masterpiece. This is an another exquisite work of the author to imbibe within its reader the power of self-worth, self-confidence even self-improvement.

She did a mistake of her life and her life never remains the same. Suprita goes on a journey of self-discovery and the rest is for you to unravel.Not spoiling it for you by sharing too much about the storyline.

It was a good and interesting read . This book acts like that one friend of yours who always encourages you to do your best. The author talks about the different types of tips/what to focus on for different goals. This is a book which can be read by anyon be a student,an adult . I believe this is a book which would change your outlook towards your goals. This is a type of book which I can read whenever or wherever I am as the language is lucid.

Overall, I loved the book and strongly recommend fellow readers to give it a try. This is something different as it will shape you mind to become successful not marely a story telling. Moreover the language is simple and the plotline is practical.

The book reached me specially packed. I had the complete opposite feeling after reading the kind of book thought it might be. But in any case, the author's pen deserves praise. And it's a pity that I don't voice his description before reading this book because it greatly reduces my desire to read it. After reading the first two pages of this book, I got a distinct excitement that made me swallow the entire book. The Book “Decode Your Quest” by Dhara Purohit John, Is a Fictional Story Through Which the Author Has Written Wonderful Life Lessons for the Author.

The story revolves around Suprita who possess innate abilities to decode the complex patterns. She reflected an aptitude of a genius to set a blueprint for global economic development rooted in ecological sustainability. But everything never goes so smooth. Her life turns topsy- turvy within a week of her post.

Grab this read to know more about what happened at end. I have no authority to call the book bad. Because I was fascinated by the back cover of the book and it was the first time I got attracted to the name. Moreover, from the quality of the page to the description of the book, the author's choice of language, the specification of the language, the consonance of the language, everything has been shown to be skillful.

I am sure you will like this book Overall, I liked the book. Of course I would highly recommend this book to all readers.

BOOK REVIEW - After pandemic, this topic is a hot cake for every one struggling with employement issue, health issues with many more uncontrollable feelings and events in life.
One must read it , to experience the answers of your own quest as introspection helps alot in positivity in life.

RECOMMENDED- Grab this wonderful book that will help you decode your quest on the paths often less traveled!

SYNOPSIS - Decode your quest is not your quintessential book where life realization is explained with just some fiction mixed, every paragraph has its own set of meanings to be deciphered for the reader, on his elucidated journey. And I loved the writing, especially with the way, the story is entwined to bring further clarity, just enough for us to get the nudge or perspective. And it feels different based on the different experiences we have gone through in life.

LESSONS FROM NOVEL - The book is highly spiritual and there are many philosophical quotes and paragraphs throughout the book which leaves you marking or highlighting every other line. I am trying to read more spiritual or philosophical books in 2022 whether they are through fiction or nonfiction. If you are someone who is into spirituality, this is a great choice.
